Titan Attachments Medium-Duty 60" Clamp-on Pallet Forks, 46" x 4" Fork Length, Rated 4,000 LB, Easy to Install on Loader or Skid Steer Bucket

Being that I am a Jack of All Trades and a master at a few and do metal fabrication and own about five welders I considered designing and building my own forklift attachments for my large farm tractor. I thought let me check on line at my usual two places, Amazon and EBay, which I did and these titan forklift arms caught my eye, especially with the middle brace stabilizer to prevent the arms from doing the greeting arms move, spreading open. Anyhow I ordered them and I just received them. Actually I was upstairs in my house and it sounded like a car hit my house. I ran downstairs looked out the window to see the FedEx truck pulling away and thought to myself that loud thump was my new set of forklifts. I opened the door and bent over to lift the five foot box up and was it heavy. First thought heavy duty for sure. Anyhow I just opened the box and was amazed at the quality of the build and the heavy duty construction. I must say way beyond my expectations for sure, and I dare say that counting my time and material I could not have built them for what I paid on Amazon. Very Impressive. Welds are industrial, not real pretty, but fully functional and acceptable. No weld splatter pimples. The forks I ordered are the 60" ones with about 43" of workable fork, the other 17" is used up by bracket attachment. The forks themselves are constructed out of what looks like 1/8" steel square tubing. Don't be fooled by the 1/8" because since it is in the form of a square tube design it is very,very strong . The large threaded handle clamp rod is about 7/8"-1" galvanized rod, and the horizontal green painted handle is about1" as well offering great gripping power and strength when torqueing the forks down onto the bucket. It appears that there is a slotted key hole which is designed to receive a chain of maybe 3/8" or 1/2" links to possibly further secure the forklifts by inserting chain into the keyhole and wrap the chain up and around the back of the bucket for further bracing or work as a safety catch to keep forks secure if one of the handles loosens up, preventing the fork from falling off of the bucket lip. Only a guess. The key advantage to these forks is certainly the middle stabilizer bar. I can see myself in the future modifying these forks to fit my needs, possibly welding on hooks, "D" rings etc. I would highly recommend these forks to anyone and you won't regret it. A word of caution. These forks will attach to any size bucket and certainly would be overkill for a small tractor and maybe dangerous as well adding to much forward weight to your tractor especially if you lift a real heavy object. Smaller tractor owners should opt for the 30" forks, offering a little better weight balance. Good Luck everyone. Wjhit

I installed these on my Massey Furgeson GC 1725. Install was quick and easy. The Massey has a bucket that is nearly an inch thick so I have had issues with some other bucket attachment items. Not these. They slip on easy and clamp down secure. I got the spreader bar with mine and it keeps the forks from swaying or bowing in or out. The forks work very well and far exceed the capacity of my tractor so I'm not worried about them bending or breaking. Welds were all down nice and beefy and there are no cracks or missing spots. Even the paint job is well done. I lifted some branches with zero issues, and even tested it out on a 400 Lbs kids fort I built years ago. The forks are hard to see when the bucket is lowered or tipped down but with some back rails and practice this will be easy to use (I have run a fork truck, and loaders with SSQA forks so I do have experience with fork use). I only need forks once in a while and this represents an amazing deal for occasional use fork needs.

I would have given 5 starts, really 4 1/2. The support bar between the forks needed all of the holes to be cleaned out with a tap, 12 x 1.75 and a new bolt that was stripped. Not that big of a deal. The forks are beefy and welds good. These are quit heavy, the 2000 pound forks might be lighter. Used these for tree and brush pick up. Work great. Moving around 2-3" limbs and 12-20" tree trunks with ease, forks hold on nice. Using these on a Kobota L2900. A bigger tractor would have a heavy or thicker bucket. These are a bit heavy for this tractor, but work fine.

My review will be a little bit different than most peoples, but I feel this is important for people looking at pallet forks.I received these last Friday the 18th and put them on my 1997 Ford/New Holland 1720 tractor 4x4 with a 7108 bucket so that I can move steel H beams and 6"x8"x6' timbers for a retaining wall I'm building. The forks I bought are rated at 1500#'s which is about 500#'s more then my tractor is rated to pick up with the bucket, so just about perfect. The 20 H beams are 7' long and weigh 175#'s a piece, so I loaded up 4 on the pallet forks (700#'s total weight of steel) and headed down the slight hill in my pasture to the pallet where they will be closer to where the retaining wall is being built. As I was going down the hill the tractor started going to my left and the rear started to swing around so that I was now sideways on the hill and the tractor was going nose first into the ground. I jumped/got launched to the left as it was going over and got shot into the back of the bucket that was now on the ground. The tractor did not roll over as I expected and was still up in the air being held up by the forks and right front tire. I had the wind knocked out of me and sore as hell the next day, but nothing broken and no stitches. I got real lucky. Like play the lotto lucky.What went wrong? Me being stupid is the simple answer. Loading 700#'s of steel, or whatever on those forks and not adding some type of ballast to the rear of the tractor was stupid. The other major problem was me pulling down on the loaded handle expecting it to lower the forks when down is up, and up is down on most tractors. If it didn't tip forward I probably would have 1-4 175# beams coming right at my face due to my lack of experience with frontend loaders. I have close to 200#s of wheel weights on the rear and I don't think that even if I had a liquid ballast in the tires that would have made much of a difference in my situation. This weekend a 55gal barrel will be full of concrete and attached to the rear of my tractor.The forks did not bend or deform while holding up my 4000lb tractor for 20 minutes and it took me about 10 minutes to install them on the bucket and get them hooked up to my chains. They worked great and I have no qualms telling people that they are great for the price and are easy to install.*Update*I've had these now for four years and they are doing great and I'm still alive. I've added 500lbs of rear ballast to the tires and now hook up a six foot brush hog when doing any heavy lifting. We use these all of the time for picking up welders, 4x4x8 bales of hay, picking up trailers, and anything else you can think of. Neither one is bent and for the most part are still level but that could be from the bottom of my bucket being dented now. The only two things that I would change is the height of the handles so that I'm not loosing anymore skin off my knuckles, and a larger pad on the rearmost part of the forks that contact the bottom of the bucket. Just a little narrow for my taste by nothing that I can't fix with a little bit of welding and a 1/4" piece of scrap plate.
