5500 Lb Skid Steer Pallet Forks for Commercial Material Handling
Commercial-duty SSQA pallet forks with a 5,500 lb rated capacity, Class 2 frame, and 48 or 60-inch fork lengths.
Unloading a trailer, moving pallets of building supplies, or hauling materials across a jobsite? Having the right pallet fork attachment on your skid steer can save a lot of unnecessary lifting, handling, and wasted trips.
The Glacier 5,500 Lb Skid Steer Pallet Forks are built for contractors, farmers, and property maintenance crews who depend on their equipment for regular material handling. With a 5,500 lb manufacturer-rated capacity and Skid Steer Quick Attach (SSQA) mounting, these forks help turn a compatible skid steer into a practical tool for moving heavy, properly supported loads.
Glacier uses a 3/8-inch A572 steel frame and mast with a 1/2-inch AR400 steel top fork rail for strength in the carriage assembly. The 1-1/2 x 4-inch fork blades are available in 48-inch and 60-inch lengths, giving operators a choice based on the loads they regularly handle.
Adjustable fork spacing with locking pins makes it easier to handle different pallet sizes, while the beveled quick attach design allows additional attachment tilt. Whether you're moving palletized materials around the farm or keeping supplies organized on a construction site, these forks are designed for productive day-to-day work.
Important: These pallet forks are intended for lifting and transporting properly supported loads, not prying out stumps or other demolition work. For more demanding applications, consider Glacier's Extreme 8,000 lb pallet forks. Always follow the lowest applicable lifting capacity for your machine, attachment, and load conditions.
