Pallet Forks Weight Rating Question

[jmanatee2]

Thanks jmanatee2 - those are the same forks I am looking at except the JD QM cost an extra $100. Glad to hear you are happy with them, about how long did they take to ship?

I want to say less then a week. Ordered 02/09 Received 02/15 (I picked them up at trucking center) there was a weekend in there so that is pretty good.

Actually IslandTractor these forks are only rated at 1800LBS but I understand your point. Looks like my concerns of bending this lighter duty forks are unfounded. Now if I can just keep from running into a telephone pole...

My error. The 3000lb figure from your original post just stuck in my mind. I still would not worry, those things are very conservatively rated.
