Bobcat 60-Inch Pallet Forks for Skid Steers

Overview

Bobcat's 60-inch pallet forks are an extended-length tine set for handling longer loads like lumber bundles, pipe, and deep pallets. The 5-foot tine length provides better load support and stability for extended material than standard 48-inch tines. Bobcat factory forks integrate with Bobcat's attachment system for reliable use. Available through Bobcat dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You lift pallets, bags, small bundles, or materials up to 4,000 lbs regularly
  • Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S570 class) and typical loads are within standard-duty capacity

Skip if

  • You regularly lift heavy or awkward loads over 5,000 lbs — standard-duty tines can bend under shock loads
  • Bin moves, heavy concrete, or steel pipe are common — heavy-duty tines are worth the cost

Also consider

  • Heavy-duty pallet forks if your load weights push the limit of the frame rating
  • Fork frame carriage upgrade if you want a higher ITA carriage class for more lift capacity
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

About Bobcat in Canada

Bobcat is one of the most recognized skid steer brands in Canada, with a dealer presence in every province. Their OEM attachments are engineered specifically for Bobcat machines but use universal SSQA mounts for cross-brand compatibility.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect tines weekly for bending, spreading, or cracking — a deformed tine is a structural failure, not cosmetic; take it out of service immediately
  • Check tine adjustment pins and stops before every heavy lift — loose pins allow tines to shift under load
  • Grease carriage slide bearings and tine clamp mechanisms monthly
  • Inspect frame welds for cracking, especially around the top hook and lower receiver bar — these are the highest-stress points on the frame
  • Verify load rating labels are legible on the frame; worn or missing labels are a safety compliance issue in commercial and regulated jobsite use

How to Connect

  1. Slide fork frame onto Bob-Tach receiver arms
  2. Pull lock levers to engage
  3. Verify orange indicators locked
  4. Adjust fork width to load before lifting — most frames allow no-tool width adjustment
Safety NoteNever exceed the rated capacity of the fork frame — check the frame decal
