Received the 48" pallet fork attachment today and it looks great. FedEx delivery guy was outstanding in every way (called me when he came down our neighborhood road so I could meet him at the end of our driveway). Titan did a good job of packing onto the pallet. Attachment frame weighs 105 lb, forks weigh 196 lb, pallet is 25 lb. Forks and frame are undamaged. Removing those from the pallet and hefting them around was a workout, but I now appreciate the hefty steel that goes into making these. So far I give FedEx an A for delivery service and careful shipping, and Titan an A for good packaging and initial quality impression. Once I have the chance to try them out I'll give my report.

I'm looking forward to your comments, as I am considering the same thing in the near future. From what I have read it seems that they are a lot of bang for the buck.

I have the fork frame with the integrated receiver. I never use it as I have a fork with the hole cut in the tip. It's far faster to stick a ball in & hand tighten the nut. Much easier on my back than removing forks too. For the distances I'm moving trailers & not leaving the ball on for more than an hour it's not worth getting a wrench to tighten the nut.

That sounds very convenient for small/light trailers. I don't think I'd try that with my 7500 lb boat or 8500 lb toy hauler (1200 lb tongue weight). I'll try to remember to think about "exercise" when I'm installing or removing the forks, rather than "work". :reminder: Actually I'm keeping the attachment outside and the forks inside, at least for now.

Probably correct for your case then. Works for my 4,000lbs deckover, with under 1k lbs tongue weight. Leverage might start getting hairy above that.

I have two attachments from, Titian for moving my trailers around. One is the quick attach front receiver to replace my bucket and the other is the 3pt hay spear with receiver. The front one works well and is as strong as I can lift. Rear one hauls my 23' PJ deck over when hauling hay'

I did seriously consider the Titan dedicated FEL hitch receiver attachment, but since I also wanted pallet forks, I decided to give the "combo" attachment a try. I just received it, so I'm really interested to see how it works with my two big trailers. Titan advised me that the tongue weight capacity is 600 lb, and I have twice that with my toy hauler, but since I only will be moving it on hard relatively level surfaces at very low speeds, I think it will do the job. I like the look of your Bobcat tractor -- who built those back in the day?

I ordered the Titan 46" SSQA Pallet Forks (non-adjustable, 2600 lb capacity) from Amazon for $279 shipped. Sounded like a great deal for a basic set of pallet forks.

It arrived in a badly mangled box but in good condition. There was a small problem...one of the 6" pins that attaches the forks to the mast was missing. Didn't seem like any great obstacle. I sent them an email that was promptly answered, back and forth a few times to make sure we were talking about the right part, then I was told the part would ship in "5 to 7 days". OK...companies get busy. I get that. That was on Jan 12th.

On Feb 5th, 3 weeks later, I received the pin. The wrong pin. Won't work with the pallet forks I bought. And now, not a word from Titan. No answers to email, no call backs, nothing.

I was planning on ordering a grapple bucket from them as well but not now. I can handle problems. I can't handle getting jerked around by people. So I've started the return process thru Amazon. Not sure if this is the typical level of service one can expect thru Titan but it's pretty disappointing over a pin that can't cost more than $10.

I've looked for one locally that will work but haven't had much luck so far. I can order one that I know will work...from Titan. That ain't gonna happen.

Not made anymore, but built by the same folks the build the Kioti, DAEDONG. They are a South Korean company . The older Kioti CK series is the twin mechanically with a few electrical differences and orange paint.
