In honor of MossRoad sugesstions. Pallet Fork Add a Grapple

[PowerTracManiac]

Pallet forks with PT adapter plate is getting welded up now.
After that is done, I would like to add a removable grapple to the pallet fork implement.
I think this one would work nice?

Precision manufacturing forklift add a grapple. Link above might not work?

That will come in handy. To me the bucket and forks are like necessities; super handy; gotta have them.

I thought about those back when Titan had them for like less then $600. I worried it would wobble back and forth as you opened it due to a sloppy fit on the forks. The best part is they would be extremely strong which makes it better then the $2300 PT grapple for heavy work. Then they make ones that attach to the back plate. More permanent but no wobble.

I like the PT grapple bucket, it works decent for all kinds of things you encounter and you don't need to change hydraulic hoses if you need to switch to a bucket-wheel barrel etc.

It痴 a wonder I don稚 see more of those grapples on forks around? Maybe not enough people don稚 know about them yet?

Would be nice to have a splitter on the front hydraulics to vary the width of the forks AND operate the grapple.
When theyre not used, it couple be disconnected and operate quick attach wedges to attach & release a bucket, etc.

grapple forks - heavy equipment - by owner - sale

Would be amazing with hydraulic adjustable forks

I bought a grapple from Greens-machine and made mounting brackets for both my bucket and forks. I use it on the forks all the time for lifting logs and carrying them out of the woods and when loading into my dump trailer.

That looks like a handy attachment there! You will be able to grab and move lots of things with that.
