Handles the awkward loads

From pallets and bulk bags to posts, logs and beams, there's a Rata attachment to lift it safely.

In it for the long haul

Let the machine take the weight, so you finish each day with more in reserve for the rest of the season.

Certified where it counts

Lifting jibs are independently certified for commercial work, and forged forks are rated and stamped.

Buying advice

Choosing the right lifting gear

Choose the attachment for the load first, whether that's pallets, bulk bags, posts or beams. Then check its rated capacity against your machine, keeping in mind that lifting at height or full reach changes what it can safely handle. Talk to your local dealer for their recommendation.

“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!”

Can I use my front-end loader as a forklift?

Yes. Rata Adjustable Pallet Forks have a high-back safety frame and class 2 carriage, with width that adjusts to suit different pallets. Hydraulic side shift is available as an option or a retrofit.

Are Rata lifting jibs certified?

Yes. Every Rata lifting jib is independently certified for commercial operation, and can be customised to suit your job.

What's the safest way to move bulk bags of fertiliser or seed?

The Rata Bag Lifter has stabiliser arms that stop the bag swinging in transit, and four heavy-duty hooks. A combo version adds pallet forks too.

Can I pull fence posts with a loader attachment?

Yes. The single-grab Post & Log Forks clamp the post end for extraction, with no chains needed, so fencing jobs move faster.

Do you make pallet forks for excavators?

Yes. Excavator Pallet Forks are made to order by Rata to suit your excavator size and coupler.

What does a bin rotator do?

A Rata bin rotator turns crates of produce a full 180 degrees in either direction, with a side arm holding the bin steady while it empties. It's a popular choice for cropping and orchard operations.
