Adjustable Tractor Pallet Forks

The Right Fork Width for Every Pallet You Own
Adjustable-width tines mean this fork sets up for whatever's coming off the truck next, pallet, crate or bin, without swapping attachments between jobs. A high-back safety frame and class 2 carriage turn the loader into a proper yard forklift, spills and split timber included in what it saves you.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

One Fork, Every Pallet

Adjustable-width tines set up for whatever's on the truck next, so you're not swapping attachments between jobs.

No More Split Timber

A proper forklift-style carriage means pallets come off square and intact, not split from a rough fit.

A Full-Time Yard Forklift

High back safety frame and class 2 carriage mean the yard gets a full-time forklift without buying one.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Adjustable Width

    Forks lock into notches to set the spacing for each pallet, crate or bin, so loads sit square and secure without swapping attachments between jobs.
  • 02

    High Back Safety Frame

    A high-back frame stops loads sliding back towards the loader arms and operator, giving added protection when lifting pallets to deck height.
  • 03

    Optional Hydraulic Side Shift

    Available on 1,800kg and 2,500kg models, side shift moves the forks left or right from the cab for precise alignment without repositioning the tractor.
  • 04

    Rated from 1,000 to 2,500kg

    Capacities from 1,000kg to 2,500kg with 1,070mm blades let you match the forks to your loader, so every lift stays within a known, safe rating.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • Go adjustable if you're handling a range of pallet sizes, or fixed width if you're always moving the same load, and consider the hydraulic side shift if you're doing it all day.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“I got hold of Rata when I needed a Silage Grab, Forks & Quick Hitch. From past experience I had been impressed with the durability & simplicity of the gear. The Silage Grab has performed very well & the Quick Hitch makes the job so much easier, this one is well up there! Very high rated - so I can virtually pick up any load.

They've definitely helped me out!”

Common questions

We've got your back

Q: Can I retrofit hydraulic side shift to my pallet forks? A: Yes, it's available as a retrofit on Rata class 2 Pallet Forks, which are the 1800kg and 2500kg models.

Q: What is a pallet fork used for? A: Pallet forks turn your tractor loader, telehandler, or skid steer into your daily yard forklift, for feed and fert on the farm, bins in the orchard, or building supplies on site. The tines have a much larger surface area than bale forks and are designed to reduce the risk of splitting or spilling.

Q: What load capacities do Rata Pallet Forks come in? A: Rata Pallet Forks range from the 1000kg AWPF10 through to the 4000kg AWPF4T for telehandlers and wheel loaders, with 1500kg, 1800kg and 2500kg options in between. Talk to your local dealer about which capacity suits your loader or telehandler, and they'll back the fit with parts and service down the line.

Q: Will Rata Pallet Forks fit my tractor, telehandler or skid steer? A: Yes. Rata Pallet Forks can be made to fit almost any front-end loader or telehandler, and skid steer mounting is also available.

Q: Does Rata only offer pallet forks for sale? A: No. Pallet forks are just one part of a much wider Rata range that includes loader attachments for tractors, telehandlers, skid steers and excavators; along with subsoil aeration and cultivation gear; and the Vogal range of fertiliser spreaders. Rata has spent more than 40 years building tractor and telehandler attachments for farmers' conditions. Whatever job you're tackling on the farm, there's a good chance Rata makes it, backed by dealers across New Zealand and Australia.
