View on hlaattachments.com →
Overview
The HLA HD5548 is a 5,500 lb rated heavy duty pallet fork from Ontario-based HLA Attachments, fitted with 48-inch tines. The 48-inch length is the most practical all-around tine length for Canadian farm and construction work — long enough for standard pallets and hay bales, short enough to remain manageable on tight job sites. Class II hook-type frame with 50-inch carriage and sliding adjustable tines.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.
