Forks TPH Pallet Forks

Richard,

Sounds like you had a high pressure job to handle! I am discussing delivery with my stone supplier now. I am hoping that he will be able to deliver the pallets "onto the ground". I'm not too keen on trying to unload a flatbed with my 4710. Your system sounds a bit to "precarious" my comfort level. The 4710 is a "big" compact - but it is still a compact! If I needed to I might even rent a forklift for a half day. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's a 1200 Lb. rated pallet fork from ABC Groff. They also sell a heavier unit with solid forks instead of 2”x4” tubes. It takes a little adapting to fix on my BX22, but a larger Cat. 1 should be no problem. I plan to build a 4'x4' "carry-all" to fit on the forks and use it for yard work.

That pic looks like a 3 point bale fork, but it would work as long as the with is OK.
