Boost Job-Site Productivity with Sibom’s Adjustable Pallet Forks for Skid Steers & Compact Loaders
When you need to lift, stack, or haul palletized goods in tight quarters, nothing beats a skid steer equipped with a purpose-built pallet fork attachment. At Sibom, we’ve spent decades designing heavy-equipment solutions that keep contractors, farmers, municipal crews, and warehouse managers moving quickly and safely. Our newest release—the Sibom Adjustable Pallet Forks—combines a heavy-duty build with a lightweight, quick-attachment system, giving you forklift-grade performance without sacrificing the agility of your compact loader.
Engineered for Heavy Workloads
A pallet fork is only as strong as its frame, so we start with a fully boxed carriage built from 50-ksi plate and robotic welds. The result is a reinforced frame that shrugs off torsional stress when you tilt a 2-ton load across uneven ground. Each tine is forged from high-strength, heat-treated alloy steel, then finish-ground to precise taper dimensions for easy pallet entry. The fork set is rated at 4,500 lb on compact loaders and up to 5,500 lb on large-frame skid steers—serious muscle for a tool that weighs less than many competitor models.
- Fork tine spacing: A wide, slotted rail lets you slide tines from 8 in. to 48 in. OC in seconds, locking them in place with over-center levers—no pins to lose, no bolts to strip.
- Heavy-duty pallet fork vs. light-duty: Our “HD” spec adds deeper heel gussets and a 1-in.-thick upper bar, giving rental fleets extra abuse tolerance without changing the quick-tach profile.
- Low-maintenance fork: Zerk-free pivots and sealed hardware mean less greasing and fewer service calls. Hose down the carriage at shift’s end and you’re ready for tomorrow.
Fast Coupling, Faster Results
Downtime is expensive. That’s why the Sibom quick attachment system mates to any universal skid steer or ISO compact loader plate. Drop your bucket, curl forward, and the carriage snaps into place—one operator, 30 seconds. For manufacturers with proprietary couplers, we offer bolt-on adapter plates so that Cat 1, JCB, or Euro hitch owners still get a factory-fit connection.
Precision Meets Stability
Whether you’re sliding a crate of porcelain tile through a doorway or balancing seed tote bags on bumpy farm lanes, stability matters. Sibom’s stable and precise design relies on:
- Wide backrest—a fully welded 42-in. back stops loads from tipping rearward, keeping the operator cage free of shifting cargo.
- Serrated heel step—provides traction when you climb into the cab and doubles as a load stabilizer strap point.
- Optimized weight-to-capacity ratio—lighter carriage weight leaves more of your machine’s ROC for payload.
The final product handles like a forklift yet retains the break-out force and curb-climbing prowess you expect from a skid steer.
Built for Every Industry
Industry | Typical Tasks | Sibom Fork Advantage |
---|---|---|
Construction pallet fork | Unloading masonry bundles, moving framing lumber, staging re-bar cages | High backrest protects delicate building materials and crew members |
Farm chore attachment | Transporting bale spikes, shifting seed sacks, stacking feed pallet | Adjustable forks slide wide for square bales, narrow for chemical drums |
Fertilizer handling fork | Loading supersacks into augers, staging pallets in hoop barns | Powder-coat resists corrosive dust; sealed pivots fight grime |
Industrial pallet fork | Machine-shop raw stock, finished parts in crates | Flat-top frame nestles under racking beams where forklifts can’t fit |
Landscaping pallet fork | Moving paver skids, flagstone slabs, wrapped shrubs | Tapered tips reduce ground scarring; builders appreciate nimble radius |
Municipal equipment | Handling salt totes, pipe sections, barricade stacks | Color-coded tine markers aid night operations under streetlights |
From bagged item handling at distribution hubs to warehouse loading at last-mile facilities, one fork set services multiple crews, multiple shifts, and multiple profit centers.
Why Adjustable Forks Outperform Fixed Designs
- Versatility: Narrow spacing grips small pallets or trash cans; wide stance supports oversized shipping crates.
- Safety: Correct tine width prevents point-loading boards, reducing broken pallets and product loss.
- Efficiency: Operators don’t need to swap to a different carriage when load profiles change—adjust and go.
That flexibility converts one purchase into a high-performance pallet fork attachment for almost any material-handling challenge.
Real-World ROI Examples
- Regional lumberyard: Replaced two aging forklifts with a skid steer and Sibom forks—saved $18,400 in annual maintenance and insurance while gaining outdoor mobility on gravel lots.
- Midwest dairy farm: Cut bale-handling labor by 30 %, moving wrapped silage bales three at a time using wide-spaced tines.
- City parks department: Deployed a single compact loader plus forks to unload seasonal fertilizer deliveries, eliminating trailer rental fees.
Each win underscores how a modest attachment can transform day-to-day productivity.
Sibom Quality Without the Premium Price Tag
We know buyers search for “affordable pallet fork attachment,” but don’t want a throw-away tool. That’s why Sibom controls manufacturing end-to-end—from forging tines to powder finishing frames—passing efficiency savings to you. The result is a durable pallet fork for landscaping use, a heavy-load pallet fork for compact loaders, and a commercial-use pallet fork for warehouses.
Quick Checklist: Choosing the Best Pallet Fork for Skid Steer
- Capacity rating ≥ your heaviest load (don’t forget moisture-soaked mulch weighs more).
- Adjustable forks with positive locks, not loose slide rails.
- High-strength materials (look for heat-treated fork blanks and boxed tubing).
- Visibility—operators should see tine tips from the cab.
- After-sales support—inventory of wear parts, pins, and carriage bars.
