Pallet fork for CK30HST

[djdowd]

Would someone recommend a pallet fork that works well with a CK30HST and give me a handle on cost? Appreciate it.

If you have welding skills you can build your own for about $50-$75 in materials. I offer free plans. All you have to do is PM me with your real email address. Over 200 satisfied TBN customers.

Geez, I am starting to sound like a commercial.

If your near a big city, go by a forklift place and ask for a set of used forks. I got a pair and the cross bar for free(less tip) because they sell the stuff for scrap. You will then need to do a little welding. Do a search on TBN for "pallet forks" and you get a ton of ideas.

I have used the Paynes Forks light duty forks for almost one year. They are more than enough for anything the CK30 will lift.

One thing I will say in caution...I use mine to do just about everything. They can be pushed into the ground and if your not careful you will lift your whole tractor with the forks. The forks won't bend but the top steel bar that has the tightening screw will. Both of mine are bent but still work great.

The Medium duty forks might prevent this bending with a CK30 but they weight and cost more.

Paynes ships immediately after order. Your forks will arrive in a few days at the most.

Regards,

Fred

how do you attach the pallet forks shown in your photo? Estimated time to put on/take off? Have you attached these to a CK30? What problems have cropped up over time, if any? Thx

It's a 3 point setup for the rear of the tractor.

These are universal and mount with 4 pins at the front loader and can also be used on the 3 point. No reported problems from customers.--Ken Sweet

How much weight can the CK30 lift with these forks on the 3 pt?

How much weight can the CK30 lift with these forks on the 3 pt?

The CK30 is rated to lift 1764 lbs. 24" aft of the ball eyes. The set of forks pictured, weighs 390 lbs. Lift capacity on the 3 point, 24" aft of the ball eyes, should be in the neighborhood of 1374 lbs. Ken can verify my numbers....

I have a set rankin forks on my ck30 hst. They work great and easy to screw on and off. I did dump/flip some plywood on to my dash one day when trying to lift it up to the second floor of my house. keeping your load level takes practice when raising it up. with the ck30 I fould the machine just a little short to get a load all the way up to the second floor of a house. But it got most material up there close enought for my crew to get at. I think its a good buy for the machine.
