Pallet Fork "Extenders"

Pallet Fork Extenders TRACTORS Loaders “I made these extenders for my loader-mounted forklift It really helps whenever I want to move material that the forklift can’t otherwise reach ” says Earl Beard Gladstone New Mexico He made the extenders out of a pair of 18-in long 4-in dia pipes that are welded shut on one end and slide over the forks A chain hook is welded to the front of each pipe with a chain that’s used to move the load wrapped around both hooks A third hook is welded to the back end of one pipe while a slotted adjustable bar is welded on back of the other pipe A chain runs back to the frame of the forklift to hold the extenders in place “The two hooks on front have a hole at the top If I’m ever worried that the chain might jump off the hooks I can tie a wire in each hole and twist it through the chains to tighten them up “The pipes fit tight on the forks In fact sometimes I have to hammer them on but I like that because then I know that the pipes won’t turn sideways around the forks ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Earl Beard 162 Bada Rd Gladstone New Mexico 88422 ph 575 485-2450
