I'm looking for a set of pallet forks with a bit of taper built into the SSQA plate to aid in attaching to my tractor. Does anybody know of an OEM making pallet forks with a bit of taper?

Thanks ever so much.

For reference, this is what I'm asking about.

The Versahandler bucket is straight with short angled guides to guide it on.

My Artillian set is straight as a rail. No taper at all.

And yeah, it can be a challenge to see while lining up the connection.

My factory dirt bucket is the same. No taper.

All my front attachments are straight. As I'm approaching the attachment with the tractor I lean over and sight along the tractor's SSQA plate to line it up. That makes it pretty easy.

For pallet forks extra rollback built in is very important:

Here is a frame that dieselcrawler built with a lot of rollback:

I welded a piece of 1/4x1-1/2x15 strip on the outside edge to help guide the loader into the pallet fork frame...worked so well I did the same to my grapple.

Welded 1/2”x1.5”x15” flat bars on the sides of grapple ssqa to help connect. Quick and easy mounting now. Wish more were made that way. Pretty easy modification.

Kubota B26 HD bucket is the only manufacturer that I’ve seen with OEM side flares.
