Abstract
An apparatus fitted onto the forks of a forklift assembly for moving trailers, wherein the apparatus includes a right and a left rectangular tubular sections that are large enough to accommodate a fork. The sections are joined with a spanning beam having a center mounted trailer ball. The spanning beam is welded to the right and the left sections. A clamping element is mounted on a top wall of each section proximate to the rear of each section. Leveling elements are frontally affixed partially occluding an upper front opening of each section, such that tips of a fork are wedged under the leveling element and projecting beyond the front opening. Tightening the clamping elements secures attachment to the forks preventing the apparatus from sliding or rocking.
