Choosing the Right Pallet Fork

Select the perfect pallet fork by considering these factors:

• Fork Class

  Pallet forks come in classes 1–4, with Class 2 (2,000–5,500 lbs capacity) being the most common for skid steers. Ensure the fork and frame class match for compatibility.

• Tine Length

  Choose from 42”, 48”, 54”, 60”, or 72” tines. 48” is standard, but longer tines suit larger loads, while shorter ones reduce operator error.

• Frame Type

  Options include walk-through frames for easy access, low-profile frames for visibility, or high-back frames with brick guards for added protection.
