Excavator Pallet Forks

Turns Your Digger Into a Second Forklift
Solid forged Class 2 forks let your excavator shift pallets, poles and pipes on construction sites where a forklift can't get in or isn't worth calling. Adjustable width and a quick coupler connection mean less waiting on another machine and more jobs closed out with what's already on site.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Steady Loads, Safer Days

A secure attachment keeps loads steady and predictable, so your operator can work with confidence.

No Waiting on a Forklift

Lets your excavator shift pallets and pipes itself, so you're not waiting on a forklift to free up on site.

Long-Term Durability

Solid, practical construction is built to handle regular use season after season, year after year.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Solid Forged Forks

    Professionally forged, rated and stamped forks give a known lifting capacity of up to 2.5 tonnes, so every pallet, pole or pipe is moved with certainty.
  • 02

    Fork Vision

    The frame is designed to keep the fork tips in view from the excavator seat, making placement more precise and reducing the risk of damage to pallets and product.
  • 03

    Robust Hitch Mounting

    The excavator hitch is built into the frame and made to suit your machine's quick coupler, giving maximum strength and a secure, rattle-free fit.
  • 04

    Adjustable Class 2 Carriage

    Forks slide on a standard Class 2 forklift carriage and lock in position at the top and heel, so you can set the width to suit each pallet or load.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • Tell your dealer your excavator's tonnage and quick coupler type, these forks are custom-built to match both.

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!”

Dan Jackson, Jackson Dairies, Rakaia, NZ
