      Rata Pallet Forks make light work of pallets, crates and bins on the yard, in the shed or between orchard rows. Every set is built tough enough for daily use and simple enough that anyone qualified on the property can hook up and get stuck in.

      Advantages

      • Strength: Class 2 fork carriage on the 1800kg and 2500kg models gives heavier loads the same support as a standard forklift carriage.
      • Adjustable: The 1500kg model locks its tines into place along a sliding bar with a locking bolt. Every other adjustable model runs the more common forklift-style carriage, where a latch drops into notches to hold fork spacing, so tine position matches the pallet in front of you either way.
      • Efficiency: Optional hydraulic side shift on the AWPF8 and AWPF25 lines up loads without repositioning the whole machine.
      • Versatile: Fork extension kits and side shift are available to make your existing loader work as hard as a dedicated yard forklift.
      • Reliable: Rata dealers can back your pallet forks with parts and service, so downtime stays off the clock.

      Simple, Solid and Better is what a Whangarei Dairy Farmer described Rata Gear as. David Neumann says the Pallet Forks are "The Bees Knees".

       

      Is a Rata Pallet Fork Fit for the Task?

      If you're unloading pallets of feed, fertiliser or fencing gear, or shifting bins of produce around the shed, pallet forks are the right tool for the job. Orchard and vineyard operators moving crates and bins get the same benefit without needing a separate forklift on site, and builders and contractors handling bricks, blocks or building supplies can fit pallet forks to a skid steer, loader or telehandler instead of hiring one in.

      Pallet Fork FAQs

      What is a pallet fork used for?

      Pallet forks turn your 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.

      What load capacities do Rata Pallet Forks come in?

      Rata Pallet Forks range from the 1000kg FWPF1 and AWPF10 through to the 4500kg AWPF45T 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.

      Will Rata Pallet Forks fit my tractor, telehandler or skid steer?

      Yes. Rata Pallet Forks can be made to fit almost any front-end loader or telehandler, and skid steer mounting is also available.

      Does Rata only offer pallet forks for sale?

      No. Pallet forks are just one part of a much wider Rata range that includes loader attachments for tractors, telehandlers and excavators, subsoil aerators, cultivation gear and the Vogal range of fertiliser spreaders.

      Rata has spent more than 40 years building tractor and telehandler attachments for New Zealand farmers, and it's now the country's leading brand in the category. Whatever job you're tackling on the farm, there's a good chance Rata makes it, backed by dealers across New Zealand and Australia.
