The Turret Master Attachment interfaces with nearly all brands of counterbalance lift trucks to provide an alternative to high priced, dedicated narrow aisle turret style trucks that only work one side of the aisle. The Superior pivoting head design works both sides of the aisle with a full 180 degrees of pivot. This gives the operator unlimited load retrieving options.

Our Turret Master Attachment is an integral attachment that mounts into the mast of your lift truck for less lost load and superior performance. The Turret Master Attachment consists of a fixed frame, an intermediate main frame that side shifts to the left or the right. The main frame has a compound, hydraulic/chain side-shifting feature for lateral movement that keeps the overall frame width to a minimum and decreases aisle width requirements drastically. The pivot boom also moves to the left or to the right. Attached to the front of the pivot boom is a pivoting carriage where the forks will attach. The carriage and forks pivot 180 degrees to work both sides of the aisle.

The Turret Master Attachment capacities range from under 800 pounds up to 3,300 pounds. For different Turret Master Attachment capacities, different truck sizes are needed. The following is a set of basic guidelines for your lift truck to qualify for turret installation.

1. The Lift truck must be a cushion tire counterbalance, electric or internal combustion truck. Any other truck must be qualified upon request. We do not install our Turret Master Attachment on order pickers or 3 wheel counterbalance trucks.
2. Two auxiliary hydraulic functions plumbed to the carriage are required.
3. The truck must also have an axle width of 48" plus poly-drive tires for increased stability.
4. The mast must have 31” more lift height than the top shelf. The reason being is that we take the carriage of your truck and modify it. We lengthen the bearing spread by 18” and contain the bearing inside the mast, by containing the bearing you loose 6” plus the 18” of spread added to the bearings and this gives you 24”. A pallet measures about 4 inches from the top of the rack to the underneath side of the top slat on the pallet. This leaves you with 3” of lift to get you load off the rack. Total of 31” needed to lift your load from the top shelf. Most manufacturers require you to use our Superior Engineering turret ready mast.(1)
5. Tilt must be restricted to 2 degrees forward and 2 degrees back. A tilt option is available with our Turret Master Attachment that enables the turret carriage itself to tilt 2 degrees forward and 3 degrees backwards.
6. Minimum aisle recommendations are 24” more than the load on unguided trucks and 18” more than the load on guided units.

Our units have been installed on most of the major forklift brands.(2) and shipped within the United States, and out of the country to Canada, Mexico, India, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Israel.
