Overview
The Bobcat 6K Severe Duty Pallet Fork is rated for 6,000 lbs with 48-inch tines — the heaviest standard pallet fork in Bobcat's lineup. Designed for demanding material handling jobs where a 4K fork is undersized — heavy pipe, concrete block, and equipment components. As an OEM Bobcat product, it's built to machine load ratings without aftermarket guessing. Available through Bobcat Canada's national dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You lift pallets, bags, small bundles, or materials up to 4,000 lbs regularly
- Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S570 class) and typical loads are within standard-duty capacity
⛔ Skip if…
- You regularly lift heavy or awkward loads over 5,000 lbs — standard-duty tines can bend under shock loads
- Bin moves, heavy concrete, or steel pipe are common — heavy-duty tines are worth the cost
🔍 Also consider…
- Heavy-duty pallet forks if your load weights push the limit of the frame rating
- Fork frame carriage upgrade if you want a higher ITA carriage class for more lift capacity
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
