Floating excavator pallet forks turn your excavator into a material handler for pallets, blocks, kerbs and pipes, without bringing a telehandler onto site. The tines hang on a round bar, like telehandler forks, with a short range of vertical movement.
That float lets the tines settle level on uneven ground, which makes them forgiving to use on rough sites. With your excavator's 360° slew and reach, you can place loads over trenches and walls and below ground level, where a forward-facing telehandler can't reach. They're made for 2 to 22 tonne excavators, and each set is finished with the linkage to suit your machine.

Floating or Sliding Forks?
Sliding forks hold the tines rigid on rails and lock them at the width you set, for precise placing. Floating forks hang on a round bar and settle level on uneven ground, which is more forgiving on rough sites. See our sliding pallet forks.
Lifting Safely
In the UK, lifting a load with an excavator is a lifting operation under LOLER, so plan the lift, work within your excavator's rated lifting capacity, and keep people clear of the load. If you're not sure your machine is set up for lifting, check with your machine supplier before you use the forks. Our guide on how to use excavator pallet forks safely takes you through planning the lift step by step.
Fitting Them to Your Excavator
Choose your excavator size above. Each set is finished with the linkage to suit your machine, so when you order, send us your excavator make and model, operating weight, quick hitch make and model if you run one, pin diameter, pin centres and dipper width. Our guide on how to measure an excavator for a new bucket shows how to take the measurements.
Delivery and Ordering
Each set of forks is confirmed to suit your machine before it's supplied. Delivery is usually within 7 to 10 working days, although factory lead times can change this. If you need it for a fixed date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the current lead time.
Floating Excavator Pallet Forks FAQs
What can I lift with them?
Pallets, blocks, bricks, kerbs, pipes and other materials, within the rated capacity of the forks and your excavator. Ask us for the fork rating for your size.
Which size do I need?
Choose the option that matches your excavator's operating weight. The 14–22 tonne combi link version is made for 65mm and 80mm pins.
Do they need hydraulics?
No. They mount on your excavator's linkage and need no hydraulics.
Will they fit my excavator?
They're finished with the linkage to suit your machine. Send us your make, model, pin diameter, pin centres, dipper width and quick hitch details and we'll confirm them before they're supplied.
