Two new pallet forks (PF45 and PF60) are optimized to work with John Deere G-Series skid steers as well as G-and E-Series compact track loaders (CTLs), along with another pallet fork that was specifically designed for use on K-Series compact wheel loaders with the skid steer-style Quik-Tatch coupler. All new pallet forks are also compatible with most competitive models. The severe-duty pallet forks for skid steers and CTLs are available in lengths of 48” and 60”, and they can be positioned in widths from 45” in 5” increments to 60” in 5.35” increments. They feature a walk-through backrest with a bolt-on option and unrestricted visibility to the fork tips. Skid-resistant steps on both sides of the pallet fork frame also ease vehicle entrance and exit. With the universal, self-cleaning Quik-Tatch easy attachment system, the machine can easily add and remove the severe-duty pallet forks in seconds. The new fork frame, which was designed for use on compact wheel loaders, offers improved visibility, increased capacity and better durability over the previous fork-frame design. It was specifically designed for use on a compact wheel loader with a parallel lift, and it will enable operators to load the far side of a trailer with ease. The tines are ITA class 3B rated and available in either 48” or 60”. www.johndeere.com ANDRITZ is one of the world’s leading suppliers of techno logies, systems, and services relating to equipment for the bio mass pelleting industry.
