Hook Group – CA683178

A hook group is the set of machined hooks that clamp a carriage-mounted attachment onto the fork carriage, and this replacement group provides that full mounting set for a sideshifter or comparable attachment on Crown lift trucks. At just over five pounds, it bundles the upper and lower engagement points that locate the attachment and carry its load into the truck.

The hooks tie the attachment frame to the top and bottom carriage bars, holding it square against the pull of the load as the unit lifts, tilts, and shifts through a work cycle. Over time the engaging faces wear and spread, and a worn hook group lets the whole attachment rock or sit loose on the carriage, so replacing the set restores a tight, located mount rather than chasing play one hook at a time.

Because carriage bars follow specific ITA class dimensions, match this hook group to the carriage class of the truck it mounts to, since hooks cut for one class will not seat correctly on another. Fitted to the right class, the group returns the attachment to a square, solid mount on the carriage.
