Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You lift pallets, bundles, or stacked material regularly and want the machine you already own to do it
- Quick-attach compatibility means you can swap in forks without a second machine
⛔ Skip if…
- Your loads are heavy round stock or poles — pipe grapple tines handle those better
- The fork weight would push your machine near its ROC limit for the loads you're lifting
🔍 Also consider…
- Bale spear for farming operations with round or square bales
- Pipe grapple forks for cylindrical or irregular stock
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
