Pallet Forks for Tractors

There is no more versatile attachment for your tractor than a set of pallet forks. Even if you never have anything to move on an actual pallet, you can lift patio furniture, other tractor attachments, brush piles, logs, and almost anything you need to with a set of forks.

There are only two essential considerations for tractor pallet forks—lift capacity and tine length.

1. Lift capacity will be set by your tractor’s loader, so match your pallet forks to your tractor.
2. Tine length will be limited by that first choice, and really is a matter of preference.

A feature you will see available on some models is a headache rack and a brick guard. These are vertical walls on the frame to protect a load from sliding backward toward the operator while lifting. They’re a good idea if you move tall loads or have to lift things high, such as placing something on racking or shelving.

Popular Pallet Forks

GWT VersaForks

One type of forks you probably haven’t seen before is the GWT VersaForks. As one of our creations, these 3-point pallet forks are designed to be used on your loader or your 3-Point Hitch, and you can swap them from front to back any time you want without losing any functionality.

These are 2,000 lb rated forks and include chain hooks, a 2” receiver for a trailer mover, a gooseneck trailer mover slot, and a weight rack for suitcase weights to use as a counterweight.

Now that’s versatility you won’t find in any other pallet fork attachment!

The VersaForks weigh 258 lb with 42” tines.

HLA Pallet Forks (Forklift Attachments)

HLA makes fantastic tractor tools. We know them best for their snow pushers, but we love their HLA forklift attachment for tractors. We carry five unique lines of pallet forks from HLA.

Ultralight Pallet Forks

Rated to lift 900 lb at a 21” load center, the Ultralight Pallet Forks are the perfect set of forks for a small, subcompact tractor like a John Deere 1025R or a Kubota BX23s. Ultralight tractor forks are available with 36, 42, or 48” tines, but you save the most lift capacity with the 36” tines, as the entire setup weighs just 190 lb.

While lighter, they aren’t as versatile as the VersaForks.

Standard Duty 2,000 lb Pallet Forks

As you might expect, these Standard Duty tractor pallet forks are rated to lift 2,000 lb at a 24” l.c. and are available with 36, 42, or 48” tines. Base weight is 178 lb and that includes a standard headache rack.

Heavy Duty 4,200 lb Pallet Forks

Rated to carry 4,200 lb at a 20” load center, these Heavy Duty Pallet Forks 50” with wide carriage come standard with a headache rack, but also can have a full brick guard added.

5,500 lb Pallet Forks

Even beefier than the 4,200 lb forks, this HLA fork attachment for tractors will carry 5,500 lb at 24” l.c. Just like the series below, they use a 50” wide frame with a headache rack and an optional full brick guard.

HLA Hydraulic Pallet Forks

If you use forks a lot, and especially if you use forks for pallets, consider a set of HLA hydraulic forks that allow you to adjust the tine spacing right from your seat. This means you’ll need a set of hydraulic ports up on your loader, making these perfect for a skid steer.

These are heavy-duty, with ratings for 4,200, 5400, and 7,500 lb, and tine lengths of 48, 54, and 60”.

Battle Armor Bucket Pro (Hideaway Pallet Forks)

Carry a set of pallet forks on your bucket at all times with Battle Armor’s Bucket Pro. 

These pallet forks for tractor buckets fold up and hide out of the way when not in use. Then they pop into place in under a minute when you want to use them. 

They are a clever solution to have forks with you at all times, are rated to hold 2,000 lb, and offer an optional brush guard.
