8,000 Lb Skid Steer Pallet Forks for Heavy Material Handling
Heavy-duty pallet fork attachment with an 8,000 lb rated capacity, reinforced steel frame, and 48 or 60-inch fork lengths.
Heavy pallets, bundled building materials, and equipment supplies can put ordinary pallet forks to the test. When you're moving substantial loads around a construction site, farm, or equipment yard, you need a fork attachment built for demanding material handling.
The Glacier 8,000 Lb Skid Steer Pallet Forks combine a manufacturer-rated 8,000 lb lifting capacity with a rugged steel carriage and adjustable locking forks. Designed for machines equipped with Skid Steer Quick Attach (SSQA), these heavy-duty pallet forks help operators handle palletized materials and properly secured loads with greater flexibility.
Glacier builds the frame and mast from 1/2-inch A572 steel and reinforces the upper carriage with a 1/2-inch AR400 steel fork rail. The 1-3/4 x 4-inch fork blades are available in 48 and 60-inch lengths, allowing you to choose the configuration that suits your material handling needs.
Fully adjustable locking forks let you change fork spacing for different pallet sizes, while the beveled quick attach design provides additional attachment tilt. It's a practical setup for contractors, farmers, and equipment operators who regularly move heavy materials.
Important: The 8,000 lb rating applies to the fork attachment, not your skid steer's lifting capacity. Always follow the lowest applicable capacity limit for your machine, attachment, and load conditions.
