You could use open -a Forklift . which opens the current folder in forklift.

In case you are having the same problem as I have:

Solved this this error:

Script Editor:
System Events got an error: Script Editor is not allowed to send keystrokes.

Need to add some (or all) of the following 'Security & Privacy' setting:

Goto:
  System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility
  System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Input Monitoring
Add:
  /System/Applications/Utilities/Script Editor.app
  /System/Library/CoreServices/AppleScript Utility
  /System/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app
  /usr/local/bin/bash
  /Applications/Setapp/ForkLift.app
