Overview
Virnig's PFWT4862 is their highest-capacity walk-through pallet fork at 6,200 lbs, using 1.75-inch thick tines for the heaviest skid steer pallet handling work.

At 405 lbs, the extra tine thickness adds weight but provides the extra durability needed for heavy repeated lifts. Ships to Canada through authorized Virnig dealers.

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

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
- Slide fork frame onto Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull lock levers to engage
- Verify orange indicators locked
- Adjust fork width to load before lifting — most frames allow no-tool width adjustment
