Seems that every fork seller stops at Class 4......but I really need 5...standard hook type (as opposed to the round bar type) They must exist somewhere since the carriage is definitely class 5 and has forks on it now but they are too short in length.
 
Understanding Forklift Forks

According to this Class 4 is as high as they go. After that it's proprietary to the mfr.


The most common of fork is the ITA style which are divided up into classes. These classes define the carriage height that they can mount to.

Class 2 = 16" Carriage height
Class 3 = 20" Carriage height
Class 4 = 25" Carriage height

Typically any forklift from 1500-5500 lbs. will have Class 2 forks. 6000-11,000 lbs capacity lifts will be Class 3. 11,500-17,500 lbs capacity forklifts will be Class 4. After that, most forklifts use a shaft mount or propriety mount.
