An attachment for a forklift for positioning a load includes a rearward carriage structure that supports a forward carriage structure to which forwardly extending forks are attached. The forward carriage structure is mounted to move side to side relative to the rearward carriage structure. Upright clamp arms are mounted to the forward carriage structure to move side to side toward and away from each other. Upper clamps are carried by the clamp arms to engage the exterior sides of a load being carried when the clamp arms are moved toward each other. Lower clamps are also carried by the clamp arms at a location below the upper clamps to engage the sides of a load positioned beneath load being carried by the forklift when moved toward each other and simultaneously moving the forward carriage structure to a medial (central) position between the clamp arms.
