Forks lifting forks

I have one of the lower priced quick attach forklits getting lots of different uses for it. Just wanted to give a good and useful tool plug to anyone thinking of getting one. Today, I used mine to pull 30 or so steel posts up, relocated 3 large and heavy flower pots for the Wife, then picked from the truck a heavy woodstove my Son wanted to store in my shop. So many uses for these things, and their costs are pretty darned cheap!

It's always satisfying to know you're getting your money's worth out of a purchase.

I have pallet forks from Titan Attachments and I think they're great. I got the 48" tines.

I also bought a nice plastic pallet that just fits into my station wagon. I can have Lowes or Home Depot load it with about 700 lbs (concrete, gravel bags, pavers, etc etc), then move the whole thing out of the car and to the job site. Usually I can hover it over the work and gently lower things one bag at a time, or in the case of concrete slide the bag to the edge and cut it open and pour it into my concrete mixer. I'm too old with too bad a back to do any concrete work unless I use this method.

I got hardware to bolt the pallet in place on the forks, and use it as a manlift. I position it and place a ladder against it. This is a bit controversial, as some think it is too dangerous to work on a FEL, but the tractor's only about 5 years old and is well maintained and kept indoors; I'm making a judgement and thinking I'd survive a very unlikely 6' fall, your mileage may vary. Though I do wonder how hard it would be to make some props for it so it can't fall.

Pallet forks are one of the most useful attachments to have, in my opinion.

I use mine very often. Never regretted the purchase.

Just 2 weeks ago I poured 8300lbs of concrete useing just the method you described. Lowes loaded the pallets on my trailer then I split them into 3 and feed my mixer right off the waist heigh forks. It worked very very well. So well that I could do another 8300lbs if I needed to.

I also mounted the electric mixer into my micro EX bucket so once the concrete was in the mixer it wasn't handled again. We did 15 12in sono tubes 5'+
