The details
What makes it work
-
01 Independent Grab Movement
The split top lets each grab move independently, wrapping around twisted logs, root balls and stumps for a firm grip that reduces slippage. -
02 High Tensile & Braced Tines
16mm AR450 abrasion-resistant steel tines are braced to prevent splaying, keeping their shape under the heaviest, most awkward loads. -
03 Heavy Pins & Bushes
35mm diameter main pivots with extra supporting bushes, and greasable high-tensile pins throughout, keep the claw tight and responsive for years. -
04 Protected Hydraulics
Rams are mounted at the rear, away from the working area, with hoses routed out of harm's way to prevent damage and costly downtime. -
05 Full Clamping Force
Pin geometry gives a large arc of movement with full clamping force throughout and a 1.3m opening, for safer loading of big, uneven material.

Expert advice
Tips from the Rata team
-
Each arm moves independently, so let the claw settle onto the load rather than forcing it square first.
Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“The first fork we got nearly exactly 12 months ago went straight on the loader, and I think it was just under 200 hours before the crop was put in, purely on sticks.”
“Picking up concrete, stuff you couldn't lift manually. Just pick up anything you can think of.”
“We wondered if it was possible to customise the fork. We didn't think they would, but we asked, and the answer was 'not a problem'.”
“My brother used it at another property to do the same thing, and he wouldn't let me have it back. So we had to order another one.”
“The first fork went straight on the loader. It did just under 200 hours before the crop went in, purely on sticks.”
“Highly recommend it, especially if you want it custom made. Very easy to deal with.”
“Coupled to the telehandler, it's even better again for reach and manoeuvrability.”
