Electric Pallet Fork Clamp Uses No Hydraulics
“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.
