Titan Attachments Experience

[ArmyPair2]

Hello All

I'm looking to buy pallet forks for my wood crates that I use for my syrup business. Does anyone have any experience purchasing attachments from Titan? Their product seems very well made and the best price I've seen for locking, 42" fork set.

:ashamed:I got the 4,000 lbs with the stabilizer bar and the shipping was very fast and easy to hook up and I know I will embarrass myself but I was to excited to put them on and the wife was saying go get those logs and I did not tighten them up. So when I made my first dump with then on they slipped off and fell into my burn pile and the wife just laughed at me. Lesson learned the hard way but I do love my forks and the wife loves when I put the generator on a pallet and drive it to the front yard so she and I can have power when we need it. The photo is my titan's somewhere in that pile.

At least the burn pile was not burning. We have all done similar things, don't feel bad.

My Titan forks were shipped with the forks off of the frame and all three strapped flat to a pallet

Well ..... That will certainly make it harder? Guess I need some pallet forks to unload my pallet forks?

HMMMMM?

Yup, that's how they shipped mine also.

I put a couple of chains all the way thru the pallet and lifted it up with the loader.

Yeah, that would work.

Thanks!

My father-in-law & I were easily able to manhandle the frame upright to attach it, then the forks to attach them. I might have even been able to do it solo. 2000lbs rated forks are only 250lbs or something for all 3 pieces.

I think that the 4000 lb. with 48" forks is about 415 lbs.

I was able to man handle mine.

Once I got the pallet on the ground I was able to stand up the frame and put it on the tractor by myself, and I'm getting old. I haven't really used mine yet but they look nice on the LS, and fit nice and look heavy enough for my use. I can just see the tips on the 48" without getting up off the seat if it just lean forward a little. I think I need to put a paint mark on the leveling rod (about 3" down) so I can tell when forks are level.

Received my Titan 48" pallet forks last Thursday. Delivery truck came right to ranch. The PF was strapped to a pallet but, we cut the metal bands, driver held the PF back plate up vertical and I hooked up to it with my SSQA, lifted it up a few inches, driver rotated SSQA locks, lifted forks onto back plate and done. Backed up and ran forks into the pallet, lifted and reversed. All told, about 10 minutes from time trailer door opened until closed and driving away. Driver understood SSQA attachments which made this a simple quick operation.

Did same when my 84" grapple was delivered last year.

This was way better than dealing with a freight terminal and I am now a "business with a fork lift".
