What else do you do with forks besides lift pallets?

A double set of forks is also handy in addition to picking up two pallets side by side


And fork extensions of course.

A Grapple System would be the way to go but I'm thinking a couple of straps will work just fine.

The amount of brush I have and will have is small and I can not justify a grapple, even the top jaw.

My last run at another section of the land I used a large Tarp, secured with straps, awkward but it worked, hoping the Forks will reduce the amount extra work the Tarp was.

You will not regret getting the forks.

My plan was to slide the Forks under the brush pile, mount an Eye Bolt or drill a hole in the end, and hook up some ratchet straps.

I just wanted to reduce the amount of manual labor piling brush on a Tarp, then the straps.

Any thoughts on who would have a good deal ?

Medium duty should work for me but HD if the price is right.

Thanks for any and all-out only situation.

I had no idea double forks existed. Great idea.

In my shop building process I've used my 3 point forks for a lot of stuff... we used them to haul the posts to their relative holes, used them to move the fastener pallet closer to the project, used them to move a LOT of 2x6's to the project (100' or so from where the units of wood were dropped off), and with a hand truck as a trailer put one end of the trusses on a pallet one at a time with one person holding them upright backing them into place (that wasn't the most efficient, but was nifty). No pictures of any of that, but it was a back saver...

Oh, and after I did some repairs on my rear finish mower in the driveway, I just picked it up with the forks and moved it to the side yard... was much easier than rigging it up under the loader like when I drug it to the driveway

These are the Titan Forks (approx. $500.) The Thumb was (approx. $500.) I have abused the forks and they have held up well! I call it my poor man's grapple.

I use my forks as an adjustable table.

Depending on what I work on I lift it up to the height of me sitting in a comfortable chair. My back can't stand the bending over and my feet can't take hours standing in one spot to fix something. It works great. If I need a table that's adjustable I just use a 4x8 sheet of plywood.

Since I just have a little BX my forks are only 36in but I did rip down a 3/4in plywood sheet for an adjustable height work bench for when I want to work outside. It is handy for messy jobs, painting :thumbsup:

I bought heavy duty 4' forks and I wish they would have come with holes in the ends for chain hooks. Not sure how hard they will be to drill. I would imagine they are hardened steel.

They are really easy to drill.
