Diy 3 point pallet forks

I made my bucket forks out of 1×3 tubing, I think. I've lifted the rear wheels off the ground with a box scraper as a counterweight so they're plenty strong enough. I'll measure them and post the exact size. The steel, 1/4″ chain and binders came in just under 50 bucks.

Heres a thread from another site. I used an old pallet truck,(free) stripped it down and made a set that could also be used adapted to my loader arms. Adding a hydraulic top link makes them more usable. I like them as I can carry an extra heavy load as needed.

 Cant seem to get the direct link but if you highlight and go seems to work

Good luck  Dave

depending on what you are moving I was stretching 1/4 inch chain ,I went to 3/8 chain and binders ,I guess you need to look at your lift cap. and load strength on the chain
