| Skid Steer Forks - FORKS - 48"
Our skid steer forks are designed with the operator in mind. They have plenty of visibility from the rear and sides. The backplate is taller to protect the operator from items falling off the back of the forks. Do not kid yourself. This happens more often than you think.
The backplates we use for these forks are heavy plate that has been plasma cut for visibility while still maintaining strength. The fork carrier is a CNC single bar cut with the locking grooves for the fork tines. The forks are forged and heat treated to be strong but not brittle. There are a lot of forks around where this attention to detail does not exist. These forks are dangerous because they could just break at any time.
We only offer 48" forks as we have to keep our volumes up just to keep the price where it is. They are rated to 5000 lbs. You should never use a fork rated less than this, even if you save a few dollars. They will just not hold up to the off road abuse that skid steer loaders go through. The paint and finish is exceptional. You will be very pleased.
There is a lot of junk out there being passed off as equivalent to our attachment. The first question to ask is the weight. We are generally 50 - 100 lbs. heavier than anyone else. We have seen one manufacturer even copy our backing plate design. The problem is that design was meant to go on attachments weighing up to 1500 lbs. Forks can carry 5000 lbs. You can guess what will happen to those forks one day.
