Would guess the op feels it’s much nicer and easier and safer to move containers with the forks underneath with the boom right down and fully retracted than having the boom in the air half way extended with a box hanging and swinging on chains though.
Most fork extensions I’ve seen and used have been cold rolled channel with extra 12mm flat bars welded inside to strengthen the channel along its length with the front tappered as mentioned above.
Ha ha I’ve get a few sets of really good lifting chains I got given, problem is by time there on as tight as I can get them and go to boom it up it’s barely off the floor with boom fully out or it on front tyres of teleported ?
