bolt on forks
- Thread starter blank102

They are the cat's meow!!! I was advised against these, and that I needed a dedicated pallet fork to replace my bucket, but the clamp on have done all I have asked and more!! They do have limits, but I wouldn't trade anything for mine.. Just too dang handy.
Mine don't have the cross member for the additional support. My only critique might be that it could be heavy to move both at once. Mine weigh about 75lb ea, so I would hate to have them connected.

I have them on my B2620. Only thing I find is they are harder to see than real quick attach pallet forks, and when you have a lot of weight on them.....be real gentle with the joystick because it will move them/bucket real quick because of the added leverage.
But they are real handy if you don't have a quick attach loader. I use them for logs and everything.
I have pics, but can't post tonight.

In the age of quick attach FEL attachments(SSQA) there's no way I want bucket attached pallet forks. Bucket obscures view and extra distance from loader pins reduces FEL lifting capabilities plus bucket forks have been known to bend the bottom of the bucket.
I have a set of Rankin clamp on forks, and they are very handy indeed. My bucket has not bent, and I use it hard for all kinds of jobs. Go for it, you'll be glad you did.
