HLA HD5572 5500 lb Heavy Duty Pallet Forks with 72-Inch Tines🔵 Mid
✓ No hydraulics required
View on hlaattachments.com →
Overview
The HLA HD5572 is the longest tine option in HLA's 5,500 lb heavy duty pallet fork lineup, with 72-inch tines. Designed by HLA Attachments in Ontario, 72-inch tines are used by operators handling wide pallets, grain bags, large hay bales, and bin-style containers where the load extends beyond standard tine reach. Load centre physics mean capacity drops as load position moves out — but for operators who regularly work with oversized loads, this fork handles the job without workarounds.

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

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect tines weekly for bending, spreading, or cracking — a deformed tine is a structural failure, not cosmetic; take it out of service immediately
- Check tine adjustment pins and stops before every heavy lift — loose pins allow tines to shift under load
- Grease carriage slide bearings and tine clamp mechanisms monthly
- Inspect frame welds for cracking, especially around the top hook and lower receiver bar — these are the highest-stress points on the frame
- Verify load rating labels are legible on the frame; worn or missing labels are a safety compliance issue in commercial and regulated jobsite use
How to Connect
- Slide fork frame onto Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull lock levers to engage
- Verify orange indicators locked
- Adjust fork width to load before lifting — most frames allow no-tool width adjustment
⚠ Safety NoteNever exceed the rated capacity of the fork frame — check the frame decal
