A side shifter is an attachment commonly used in the material handling industry, specifically with forklifts and similar equipment. It allows the operator to shift a load horizontally, typically up to several inches to each side, without needing to reposition the entire forklift. This capability is particularly useful for precise load placement and is advantageous in tight spaces or when stacking goods. By enhancing maneuverability and reducing the need for repeated positioning, side shifters improve operational efficiency and safety in warehouses, distribution centers, and other environments where material handling is critical.
