The Bulk Bag Carrier is a reliable forklift-mounted bag lifting device designed to move large-capacity bags quickly and safely. Whether dealing with full or semi-filled sandbags, aggregate bags or feedstock, this attachment streamlines handling and improves safety in busy operational settings.
Engineered with four overhead lifting lugs, it secures bag straps evenly for improved balance during lifting. Its extended load centre and fork pocket design reduce tension on the bag body, reducing the risk of splitting or load failure. Available in 1000 kg and 2000 kg models, the bag carrier is built for high-frequency use in construction, warehouse, and agricultural settings.
- Fork-mounted bag carrier – Designed for safe lifting of bulk bags using forklift or telehandler equipment.
- Secure four-lug system – Evenly distributes weight to protect bag integrity and ensure safety.
- Simple mounting – Insert forks, fasten heel pins behind fork heel, and lift with full confidence.
- Improves handling speed – Reduces labour time in bulk movement of aggregates, sand, or similar materials.
- Built for durability – Welded construction with rust-prevention options for extended performance.
The attachment is secured with zinc-plated heel pins once mounted to a forklift or telehandler. Maintenance and inspection are straightforward, with key areas such as weld points and heel pin fitments requiring weekly checks. The device is certified for six months from manufacture and supports efficient, vertical lifting workflows.
Operators should conduct safety checks prior to operation, and loads must be lifted vertically with the mast maintained upright. The bag straps should be fully seated into each of the four lifting points before the load is elevated.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of Scaffolding, Building Supplies, Lifting & Groundworks Equipment conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

This bag lifting device is ideal for high-volume lifting tasks where safety and speed are priorities. Whether shifting flood control bags or site-prepped ballast, it ensures stability under load and clear visibility throughout the manoeuvre. The heel pin system must always be checked before each use to prevent movement during lifting. Angular lifts and shock-loading are to be avoided at all times.
The Bulk Bag Carrier must be inspected weekly to ensure weld points, fork pockets and heel pins are secure and free from damage. Surface rust should be treated with primer or rust-inhibitor as needed. The heel pins must be removed prior to inserting forks and securely fastened before any lift is attempted.
This bag lifting device provides a stable platform for handling bulk loads vertically. Operators must always lift at a controlled pace, avoid swinging or sharp movement, and use the mast in a vertical position. For safety and compliance, users must not exceed the load rating or perform angular lifts under any conditions.
