Electric Pallet Fork Clamp Uses No Hydraulics
The EPFC-1 pallet fork clamp from Worksaver attaches easily and requires no auxiliary hydraulic valve. Designed for use with compact and subcompact tractors, it uses an electric actuator with an 8-in. stroke to operate the clamp.
“A lot of subcompact tractors don’t have auxiliary hydraulics,” says Mike Kloster, Worksaver. “Our engineering staff looked at forks for those tractors and suggested making a clamp similar to one we offer for grapples on front-end loaders. Both are ideal for picking up loose brush and holding it in place.”
The EPFC-1 is designed for subcompact and compact tractors up to 48 hp. with Class 1 fork attachments. The clamp mounts at the center point between the rails. Installation consists of running a single wire to the battery and a cable and rocker switch with open and close controls to the operator.
“We’ve been offering the grapple clamp for 2 1/2 years,” says Kloster. “The EPFC-1 just went into production in late spring. The first run is shipping now.”
The clamp is 5 1/4 in. wide, 12 1/2 in. high and 36 in. in length with an open height of 48 in. It easily locks up in open position for normal fork use. It weighs 75 lbs. and has a list price of $1,795.
