Pallet fork size - 36", 42" or 48"?

SSQA is the Standard, yes any brand that is SSQA

Got an email back from Palletforks.com. Titan products are made in Tennessee, very nice to hear.

My approach to attachments or implements is go as big as possible based on current tractor so if I upgrade tractors it will be on the lower end of the bigger tractor and can get by. Did this with my forks and 76" Gannon box blade so far. I can see 70-95hp in my future.

Here are a couple pics of things I would struggle with if I had smaller forks. Have 48", kinda wish I went 60".

YMMV

Yeah i agree I'd rather have slightly over rated implements
I managed to bend one of mine about 12" back from the tip they areconstruction attachments 48" 5500 lb heavy lift forks forged. I got it traped under a dumpster when i tried to roll out it was in a 3pt bend

Besides would'nt you rather be this guy than end up with bent forks maybe next time he will use his seat belt. I'm currious if he even lifted this load off the trailer or if he just got unde rit and pulled it off the trailer.

C4;

You could look into longer (60", 72"?) pieces of channel with a few flat bar straps across open side of channel, that could just slide over your existing fork for the times you need the length.

Anyone silly enough to think a PHD on the 3pt is anywhere near proper ballast for lifting heavy loads.. well.. they are pretty silly.

Hope that's his Tractor

Holy crap! Who is that? Is that just a picture you got off Google?

I'm hoping to use this same SSAQ pallet forks for the 3pt hitch and I'm guessing I"ll need to fab up something to accommodate this. The usefulness of these forks will be huge in my mind.

That's something I've been meaning to ask, what's the best way to adapt ssqa forks for 3 point use? Get a ssqa plate and weld 3pt pins on it, or just add some pins to the forks?
