Ace Attachments provides quality attachments and clamps to wholesale market
Seeing a need for a one-stop shop for wholesale attachment and clamps, Owner/President Seth Caldwell has opened Ace Attachments which is located approximately 30 minutes from Charlotte, NC, and Columbia, SC. “I noticed that there was a lack of quality options for attachments at the resale level. After researching and fact-finding, I decided the time was right to enter an additional market as a new organization,” Caldwell said. “Ace provides dealers and wholesalers a go-to for finding attachments or selling attachments that are in the way or weighing down the books,” added Caldwell. Caldwell also owns Zoom Lifts and Equipment which is co-located with Ace Attachments. Johnny Bridges will serve as Ace Attachments operation manager and Tim Smith will be the sales manager. Ace Attachments has over 100 attachments in stock at its Chester, SC facility. They range in type and condition. Ace has the ability to go over the attachment completely, make small fabrication changes, fix any mechanical issues and clean up the attachments. They can also paint them to look like new if needed. “Your attachment will leave our facility in the agreed-upon condition in a timely manner.” “Rest assured all used attachments undergo a thorough assessment by our industry experts, ensuring a high-quality product at a fair price,” said Bridges. He added that “Ace Attachments offer reliable, durable, and high-performing forklift attachments that will stand the test of time.” Originally a Zoom Lifts and Equipment division, Ace Attachments operates as an independent small business. Located in Chester, South Carolina, halfway between Charlotte, NC, and Columbia, SC, they conduct business throughout North America Ace Attachments is located at 622 Industrial Way, Chester, SC.

Passing of B&B Attachments Founder George Bell
B&B Attachments is paying tribute to its founder and dear friend George Bell. George passed away on the 5th of October 2022, surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Bell was loved by his family and friends, and it cannot be put into words for the loss that is felt by his passing. In addition to his family, those of us who had the opportunity to work with George feel a tremendous loss. George and his wife Irene Bell founded B&B Attachments in 1980. Trading first from their home in Headley, near Newbury, to then expanding the business to Inkpen, Berkshire, and later opening its office in the Northeast of England, where George was born. He had a great love for his hometown of Newcastle upon Tyne, with its bustling atmosphere, cultural heritage, and of course its football team. George was black and white through and through and enjoyed many a match day at St James Park. He had a smile for everyone he met. No one was a stranger for long. Everyone wanted to be around George. Customers gravitated to his kind and authentic nature and orders came easily to him, mainly due to George’s personality and charisma. He worked with passion, integrity, and unwavering determination. Under George and Irene’s leadership, the business went from strength to strength. B&B remembers George, as an amazing person who played a unique and special role in the lives of all who knew him. Even after retirement he generously gave his knowledge, his expertise, and his time to anyone who needed it. Every one of us who knew George and worked alongside him will remember him with great affection. As George would often say when all is said and done, however much you like your work, it’s the people that really make the difference, and George made the difference. For the B&B attachments family, this is a particularly difficult and painful time for his family. In extending to Irene and all the family our heartfelt condolences. At this tender moment, B&B Attachments celebrates the life of George Bell, our founder, and pioneer. George Bell 1942 – 2022
Side Kick Attachments forklift & pallet fork extensions designed for long-term use
You’ve probably experienced the frustration and inefficiency of not having fork extensions when you have a long or bulky load to move. Or, the generic extensions you have in your shop are beginning to bend, break, or cause unnecessary wear and tear on your forks and machine. At Sidekick Attachments, they know you want to be assured of your investment in quality fork extensions made for long-term use. To do that, you need reliable and strong fork extensions that make moving longer loads easier and safer. The problem is that many generic fork extensions don’t fit well, bang around when not loaded, break or bend easily, and are non-tapered which results in difficult loading and unloading. All this leaves you feeling frustrated that your fork extensions are not holding up to the standard wear-and-tear of your shop. Sidekick Attachment believes every shop with a forklift deserves a set of durable fork extensions that fit your forklift well, make long loads easier to manage, and don’t easily wear out or bend.
