3 point linkage pallet forks

Anyone know where i can get 3 point linkage pallet forks or am i as well making them up myself?

if you get them on a high lift frame you can load trailers .
you will need ballast weights on the front though.

I made one up myself, cost me a half box of welding rods. I got the forks for free, they were being dumped at the time. Welded 2 channels onto the back of an old hay buckrake. Very handy. I use it more than I thought I would.:D

was just thinking of something like a bale lifter, need to move pallets about a yard and maybe onto a flat bed car/jeep trailer. i guess a hydraulic top link will keep the forks level for that.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Well I made up my own one for moving pallets, managed to get my hands on a broken Mc Hale bale handler for free, and made it up from that. The lower link mounting points are the tipping hinges from and old KP trailer and the top link mount points from a yard scraper, only had to pay for welding rods and had it made in three hours.





Each tine can hold the weight of a wet round bale of silage, so it will lift quite a bit of weight, although I use it on a small tractor anyway, so capacity isn't a problem, Its very handy for pallets as the tines are much smaller than forks, so its easy to use, but I use it for so much else. Can load stuff on and off a flat bed ifor williams trailer with it too, move concrete pipes effortlessly, loads of fencing material, ESB poles etc.... Best thing I ever made really.

Got around to taking snaps of the pallet fork I made.
The second one shows how the fork slides along the channel. The bottom is the opposite way around, with the grip of the fork facing up on the lower channel.
