Front-End Loader Quick attach for Koyker FEL.

[wedge40]

I have Koyker FEL and would like to get set of pallet forks. Does anybody know how hard it would be to retrofit some of the commercial ones. I've check one place and they wanted $800 without the Koyker brackets and 1600 with the brackets welded on.

I'm sure this mainly cause Koyker charges and arm and leg for the bracket alone.

I bought these blades for mine but they are too heavy at 150# for the pair. If someone wanted to build their own carrage for them to fit their loader I would sell them for $1 a pound ;-) These are standard furnace tempered steel forklift blades shortened to 32 inches. Obviously this would be better to be a local sale due to shipping cost for such a heavy item. I would build a rectangular steel tube carrage with cold rolled 1/2 inch bar stock welded to it to support blades and emulate the standard forklift carrage for adjusting blades

WOW! for the price of just their adapters you could convert your entire quick attach system to the Westendorf Snap-Attach system. I had no idea it was that expensive. Our attachments adapters are only $150/set. I know that doesn't help your situation currently, however we do have a lot of other style adapters that may work... Is your loader's quick attach by chance a skid-steer style? There are so many different "quick-attach" systems out there it's hard to keep track who's using what. Let me know more I may have a universal adapter that could work for you. And there's no way it'll be $800.

My loader is a koyker 210 . I'll take some photos in the next couple of days to show how mine attaches. I'm not familiar with the skid steer quick attach type. I looked at your website and was wondering the cost of the FLM42. I pretty sure I could find someone to make the bracket to attach it to my FEL.

This forklift's suggested retail is around $775. If the lift capacity of your loader is over the 3000# mark, you'll want to use the larger model, FL-42which is closer to $1000 retail. I've attached a photo of a skid-steer style quick attach, is this what your's looks like?

Here is a couple of photos side by side. Left is Tractor side and right is the bucket.

Great pics. It seems to be a cross between a skid steer top, and pin style bottom. I'm sorry to say it doesn't match up to any of our current adapters. The receiver bracket on the back of the bucket does look simple enough to recreate. Have you checked direct with Koyker, the Manufacturer, to see if they offer these plates as replacement parts?
