Best skid steer pallet forks

Frame rating, blade rating, and machine ROC are three different numbers. This page compares the SKUs we actually fetched. Verify every cell on the merchant page before you order.

Specs and prices below were fetched 18 Aug 2026. Sale prices move. We do not keep live inventory. Confirm coupler, capacity, and weight on the merchant page.

Who this is for

SSQA skid steers and tractor loaders that already take a universal quick-attach plate. Use the 4,000 lb rows if that is your job class. Use the 6,000 lb frame row if you need the higher published frame rating. This page is not for John Deere hook-and-pin or Euro plates.

How to read a fork listing

Coupler check

Titan Pro, Titan Economy, and ES Quick Attach are listed as SSQA / universal skid-steer quick attach on the source pages. That is not John Deere hook-and-pin, and it is not clamp-on. Read SSQA if you are unsure which plate is on the loader.

Titan Pro Series — 6,000 lb frame

Fetched 18 Aug 2026 from the Titan Pro Series pallet fork frame page: $839.96 $1,399.99, SSQA, 6,000 lb frame, 4,000 lb Class II blades, tines 4" × 1.25" × 36", frame 195 lb plus forks 160 lb.

The 6,000 lb frame is the published difference versus the Economy and ES rows. It does not raise your machine ROC. View Titan Pro at palletforks.com (affiliate link).

Titan Economy — 4,000 lb frame

Fetched 18 Aug 2026: $634.96 $1,059.99, SSQA, 4,000 lb frame, 36" blades. Tine thickness is not published on that Economy page, so it is not in our table.

ROC math: empty forks vs a 2,000 lb pallet

Titan Pro is the only row with a published two-part weight: 195 lb frame + 160 lb forks = 355 lb. On a loader with 2,200 lb ROC, empty forks are about 16% of ROC. Add a 2,000 lb load and you are at about 107% of ROC — over the machine rating, and well over a 50% rule of thumb.

The 50% figure is a stability rule of thumb, not a manufacturer rating. Run your own numbers in the ROC calculator (pre-filled with 2,200 / 355 / 2,000).

FAQ

Will these forks fit my skid steer?

The Titan and ES frames in this comparison use a universal skid-steer quick-attach plate (SSQA / SSL). They will not fit a John Deere hook-and-pin loader or a Euro / global compact-tractor hitch. Check the plate on your machine before you order.

What is the difference between Titan Pro and Titan Economy?

Titan Pro publishes a 1.25" tine and a 6,000 lb frame rating. Titan Economy is the lower-priced option, with a 4,000 lb frame; tine thickness was not listed on the page we checked. ES publishes 4" × 1.25" tines and three frame weights, sold direct.

How do I know if my loader can carry the load?

Compare attachment weight plus the pallet against your loader’s rated operating capacity. Titan Pro lists 195 lb for the frame and 160 lb for the forks (355 lb empty). On a 2,200 lb ROC machine, a 2,000 lb pallet puts you over the rating. The ROC calculator will run those numbers for your machine.
