Move more bales

Lift and move multiple square bales at once, cutting down Telehandler trips.

Right Tine for the Job

Four tine lengths with a short centre safety tine mean the forks matches the bale, not the other way round.

Protect your Telehandler.

High Back safety bars protect your machine from costly top-load damage.

01
Retractable High-Back Frame

Supports extend to 1740mm to secure stacked square bales on transport, then drop down easily when you need a lower working height.
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 and harvest.
03
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.

“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!”
