Our Story

Built Because Forklift SeatsTake a Beating

It started with a conversation about torn-up forklift seats at a rental yard in Shreveport. We looked for a real seat cover solution and found nothing — just cheap universal junk that didn't fit and didn't last. With years of neoprene manufacturing experience already under our belt, we went straight to our producer and started prototyping.

After multiple rounds of testing on actual Hyster and Yale units, we dialed in the fitment and built the product that should have existed all along. Forkskins was born in the yard, not the boardroom.

Louisiana, born and based

Forkskins LLC is a Louisiana company. Orders ship from Louisiana, and when you email us, the person who answers has actually handled the product.

One product, done right

We started with the seat that shows up everywhere — the standard Hyster and Yale two-piece layout — instead of a catalog of guesses. More fitments come as we prove each one.

Blue-collar premium

Padded neoprene, a cinch system that actually holds, and a price that beats a replacement seat by a mile. Premium where it matters, no nonsense where it doesn't.
