FORKS

Heavy-duty pallet forks are engineered to handle weight and load stress when maneuvering and placing blocks in quarry operations. Dual tine forks are designed to allow blocks to be placed close to the machine for greater balance and safe handling, making them an ideal choice for transporting blocks.

ROCK BUCKET

Heavy-duty bucket which offers superior durability, protection and performance in rock and overburden operations in block quarries. It includes large size teeth and segments. Its (high wear resistant) metal shell and bottom offer maximum strength, durability and wear life.

BLOCK BUCKET

Special bucket construction including the metal shell and bottom help the bucket effectively load large blocks and boulders while maintaining durability. The corner teeth ease block tilting and handling. The heavy duty V-edge is particularly suited for handling high-value breakable marbles before cutting operations.

Block Handling Fork Performance Curves

NOTE: Static tipping loads and operating weight are based on the following loader configuration: L5 Bridgestone Bias Tires, Air Conditioning, Ride Control, Powertrain Guard, Full Fluids, Fuel Tank, Coolant, Lubricants, and Operator.

Specifications and ratings conform to the following standards: SAE* J1197, SAE J732, CEN** EN 474-3.

The rated operating load for a loader equipped with a pallet fork is determined by: SAE J1197: 50% of full turn static tipping load or hydraulic limit. CEN EN 474-3: 60% of full turn static tipping load on rough terrain or hydraulic limit. CEN EN 474-3: 80% of full turn static tipping load on firm and level ground or hydraulic limit.
