The details
What makes it work

01 Excellent Tine Vision
An open frame gives a clear line of sight to the tines from the seat, so you can line up and spear bales first time, saving repositioning. -
02 Robust Construction
Engineered for frame rigidity and long-term durability in NZ and Australian conditions, so the fork stays straight and true through season after season of feed-out. -
03 High-Back Safety Frame
A calculated frame height keeps the bale supported against the back frame, protecting your loader and keeping the operator safe when lifting to height. -
04 Forged Spring Steel Tines
Tines are forged from spring steel and held in a welded Conus 2 taper bush, so they resist bending and stay tight in the frame under heavy round bales.

Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“From past experience I have been impressed with the durability and simplicity of the gear.”
“We do about 4,000 individual wrapped bales per year, so its important to us to have Rata softhands to handle them, as they are really reliable, they don't break & are definitely the best brand we've ever used!
Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks & Versatile Grapples as well!”
