What it is for
Right: a pallet fork that is too short leaves half the stack unsupported.
What sets it apart:
tines longer than a pallet fork's, for a whole stack of crates.
Computer-generated image.
Two long tines, welded to a backplate, slide under the stack of crates or boxes and carry it in one piece.
No hydraulics, no adjustment: the tool couples to the loader and gets to work straight away.
It is the tool for the livestock building and the loading bay: poultry crates, transport boxes, stackable containers.
It replaces the pallet fork that is too short, which leaves half the stack overhanging.
A tall, long stack on long tines is a lever arm. The loader's capacity is read with the load at the tips of the tines, not at the backplate.
The permissible load depends on the model, not on a generic figure.
On which machine?
It fits on a front loader or a telehandler, not on an excavator.
It is available with a Euro hitch, or with a wheel loader or telehandler hitch.
With the Euro hitch, it weighs about 156 kg; with the wheel loader or telehandler hitch, about 162 kg.
The loader's lifting capacity, tool and load included: we calculate it with you for your machine.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The crates or boxes to be carried Stack dimensions, bearing points:
tine length and spacing are chosen with the equipment actually handled. -
02 — The loader available Coupler, capacity at the tine tips:
the fork is chosen with the machine that carries it, stack loaded. -
03 — The working height Lorry bed, trailer, ground:
the loader's lifting height is checked with the stack in place, not empty. -
04 — The pace A few stacks a week or a whole lorry:
the pace decides the machine more than the fork.
What is checked before ordering
- Capacity at the tine tips It is checked with the actual stack and its length, not with the loader's figure.
-
The hitch Loader or telehandler coupler:
we check that the coupling matches the machine. -
Condition of the tines Welds, tips, flatness:
a bent tine catches the crate below. -
The bay floor A tall stack on a sloping or broken-up floor tips over:
the manoeuvring area is checked before the first loading.
