John Deere Tractor Loader Pallet Forks That Make Heavy Lifting Easier
Move pallets, lumber, feed, and building materials with your John Deere loader instead of wrestling with heavy loads by hand.
There's always something around the farm, shop, or property that's too awkward to move by hand. Pallets of feed, stacks of lumber, building supplies, and equipment deliveries all need to get from one place to another. With the right pallet forks on your John Deere loader, those jobs become a whole lot more manageable.
Storm's John Deere Compatible Pallet Forks give your tractor a practical way to lift, transport, and position materials without trying to make a regular loader bucket do a forklift's job. The fully adjustable fork spacing lets you accommodate different pallet widths and loads, while the open frame helps maintain visibility when lining up the blades.
Choose between 2,000 lb and 4,500 lb rated capacity models to match your equipment and workload. The 2,000 lb configuration features 42" long blades and a lighter overall design suited to compact tractors. The 4,500 lb model steps up to 48" blades, a heavier fork construction, and a reinforced mounting rail for handling larger loads within your loader's rated capacity.
Both models feature a 45" wide, 36" tall frame and are available with John Deere quick attach mounting. Whether you're unloading a delivery, moving supplies into the barn, or organizing materials around the property, these forks help turn your existing tractor into a more versatile piece of equipment.
Storm John Deere Pallet Forks Key Features
2,000 lb and 4,500 lb Capacity Options
Choose the fork capacity that fits your equipment and the loads you handle regularly. The 2,000 lb model offers a lighter setup for compact tractors and routine material handling, while the 4,500 lb model provides a higher rated capacity for heavier loads. Always stay within your tractor loader's actual lifting limits.
Fully Adjustable Fork Spacing
Slide the forks closer together or farther apart to match different pallets, lumber bundles, and other materials. Proper fork positioning helps support the load and makes it easier to handle items of different widths without switching attachments.
42" or 48" Fork Blades
The 2,000 lb model uses 42" long blades measuring 3" wide by 1" thick. The 4,500 lb model features 48" blades measuring 4" wide by 1.38" thick. Select the blade length and capacity that best match the pallets and materials you're moving.
36" Tall Full Headache Rack
The full rack design provides a backrest behind the load while maintaining an open structure for visibility. This helps operators line up fork blades when approaching pallets and provides a barrier between the carried material and the loader. It does not replace proper load securing or safe operating practices.
Heavy Duty Fork Mounting Structure
The 4,500 lb model features a 3/8" AR400 fork rail, providing a durable mounting structure for its adjustable fork blades. The lighter 2,000 lb model is designed to keep overall attachment weight lower for smaller equipment while still providing a dedicated material handling attachment.
John Deere Quick Attach Compatibility
Available with John Deere quick attach mounting for compatible front loaders. Put your existing tractor to work moving pallets, feed, lumber, and supplies, then switch back to your bucket when the next job calls for digging or moving loose material.

Fork capacity does not determine your tractor's actual lifting capacity. Always follow your loader's rated capacity, load center requirements, and ballast recommendations. These forks are intended for material handling and should not be used to pry concrete, remove stumps, or perform demolition work.
