In Reply to: Clamp on fork lift tines. posted by greenbeanman in Kansas on June 24, 2011 at 08:52:22:
I have used them many times in the past and even made a primitive set for my old tractor out of lift arms from auto hoist. The only issue with any of these is getting a tight/stable fit, without distorting the bucket floor under a load, and they can wander (or hinge if you will) left/right, the odd set I made for my tractor I welded some chain on them and use chain binders to cinch em up tight. Granted they work, and are better than not having them, but to be honest, the quick tach set I bought for the small tractor at the other place is an indispensable tool, cannot live with out them. Easy on/off, fork width much easier to set etc. really the way to go.
There is a bunch of people making these for a few hundred, you could fabricate a similar set just the same. They take more time to put on, remove, but any kind of forks when you need em, is better than none.
I worked on a water main job, miles in the woods and operated a CAT 977L with clamp on forks to distribute ductile iron pipe, worked quite well, bundles of pipe were kinda heavy too.
