Maximize Efficiency with Forklift Side Shifters and Carriages
At Helmar Parts, we don’t just sell forklift parts—we solve problems. If you’re managing a warehouse, overseeing a construction site, or running a logistics operation, you know time is money. And nothing eats up time like a forklift that can’t maneuver properly. That’s where a forklift side shift system comes in. With the ability to move loads laterally without repositioning the entire truck, these attachments are a game-changer for improved productivity. Our selection includes everything from complete forklift side shift carriage assemblies to essential replacement parts that keep your operation running like a well-oiled machine.
Side Shifters Make Forklift Operations Smoother
Think about it—how much time do your operators spend adjusting their position just to get the forks lined up perfectly? A forklift side shifter eliminates all that unnecessary back-and-forth. Whether you’re working in tight spaces or moving large, bulky materials, a side shifter makes every movement more precise. That means fewer delays, less fuel waste, and a whole lot less frustration. With faster loading times and better fork positioner control, your material handling efficiency goes through the roof.

Heavy-Duty Forklift Side Shift Carriages for Industrial Use
When it comes to demanding applications, not all forklift side shift carriages are created equal. Some are built to last, and others...well, let’s just say they don’t hold up under pressure. Our side shift carriages are made for durability, designed to handle everything from constant warehouse use to heavy-duty construction environments. You need a carriage that works as hard as you do—and we’ve got just that. Plus, with options for nearly every type of forklift, including lift truck applications, our products help reduce damage to pallets and racks.
Side Shift Cylinders That Keep Everything Moving
Let’s talk about side shift cylinders—the hydraulic muscle behind your side shift function. If yours starts leaking or losing pressure, suddenly that smooth lateral movement turns into a sluggish, inefficient mess. We stock high-performance cylinders engineered to withstand the daily grind. They’re built tough, ensuring your forklift operates with precision no matter how demanding the workload. These cylinders are vital tools that optimize handling time and ensure your machine is always ready for action.
Extend Lifespan with Wear Strips and Pads
Nothing lasts forever—especially in a high-impact industrial setting. That’s why wear strips and wear pads exist. These small but essential parts keep your forklift side shift carriage moving smoothly by reducing friction and absorbing wear. Replacing them regularly? That’s a simple, cost-effective way to prevent bigger, more expensive problems down the line. Because let’s face it, a small maintenance job today beats a costly repair tomorrow. Plus, with minimal welding required for most installations, keeping your system in peak condition is easier than ever.

Sliders and Mounts for Stability and Control
A solid forklift side shift system needs stability. Enter sliders and mounts—the unsung heroes of your forklift’s lateral movement. They ensure every shift is smooth, precise, and reliable. If your side shifter is feeling a little off, or you’re noticing uneven movement, swapping out these parts can make a world of difference. It’s one of those small upgrades that pays off big in efficiency. Whether you’re dealing with paper handling or standard warehouse loads, these components keep your operation running without a hitch.
Overhaul Kits: The Smart Way to Refresh Your Side Shifter
Sometimes, piecemeal repairs aren’t enough. When your forklift side shift system is wearing out, a full overhaul kit is the way to go. These kits come with everything you need to restore your side shifter to peak condition—seals, bushings, hydraulic components, and more. Instead of replacing the entire unit (which costs a fortune), an overhaul kit gives you a fresh start at a fraction of the price. Smart, right? And with our expertly designed kits, you'll enjoy improved productivity with minimal downtime.
