FEL Pallet Forks / Carry All - Another Build

[nate_m]

Spent my weekend in the shop putting these together. Used 2 x 2 box for the frame and 3 x 5 angle for the forks. (It was all free from the dumpster at work)
Works with the QA on my 200CX FEL and also with my QH on the 3PT.

Thanks to all who have previously posted pics of their builds/buys. These were a great resource to have as I put mine together.

Also, my thanks to those who suggested using a log splitter as a press to bend steel. That was the best part of this build; seeing the splitter effortlessly put the 45* bends in the upper support. Great trick to have. No more heating with torch and beating with hammer for me!

Looks great, and thanks for passing that bending tip on, never heard that one, I've got a splitter and will have to try it.

Nate,
I really like the fact that you made your forks versatile to fit both the front FEL and the rear 3pt.
They look great!

Nice job! It pays to check the dumpsters at work!

Nice job there! I am thinking of building the same for my 2210, but much smaller scale though. What thickest if material did you use?

Thanks, Dan.
I used 1/4" for all the frame pieces. The angle iron for the forks is 3/8". Probably overkill for the lifting capacity of my FEL.

Thanks Nate for the reply!

Those forks are great but I am really digging the way you move your split wood around
