Drywall forks and wallboard forks
The forks are where the crane meets the board. We source new and used drywall forks and the parts that keep them working, matched to your crane.
Drywall forks, also called wallboard forks or board forks, hang from the crane and carry a stack of sheets to the window. They open and close hydraulically, and most rotate so the operator can square the stack to the opening. A fork that is worn, bent or sized wrong for the crane slows every delivery.
We are an independent shop, not a dealer for any fork maker. We source forks and fork parts by make and model, new and used, for drywall cranes of every make: Kinshofer, Liftall, Kobra and others.
Fork parts we source
- Fork pads and rollers, the wear parts that touch the board
- Fork tines, straight or replacement, matched to the frame
- Fork rotators and rotator seals
- Hydraulic fork cylinders and cylinder seal kits
- Pin and bushing kits for the hanger and the frame pivots
- Complete forks, new or used, including pallet forks for the same crane
To match a part, send us the fork make and model from its plate, the crane it hangs on and a photograph of the part if you are not sure what it is called.
Talk to someone who builds drywall trucks
Tell us the crane, the truck and what you need: a new build, a used truck, a part or a repair. Give us the model and serial number when you have them.
New or used forks
A new fork is the right answer when you are building a truck or the old frame is bent or cracked. A good used fork is often the better buy for an older crane, or as a spare so a truck is not parked while its own fork is in the shop. Tell us which you would rather have, or ask us to price both.
Matching a fork to the crane
The fork has to suit the crane's capacity at the reach you use most, its rotator and its hydraulic flow. Hanging a heavy fork on a light crane eats into the load you can put through the window. If you are changing cranes or forks, call before you buy and we will check the match. For new builds, see new drywall crane trucks.
