VEVOR 60 in Clamp-On Pallet Forks, 4000 lb: features, specs and fit

These VEVOR clamp-on pallet forks turn a tractor or loader bucket into a pallet-handling tool. They slide over the bucket's cutting edge and clamp down, so there is no welding or permanent modification. VEVOR rates them at 4,000 lb, and sells them for farms, yards, warehouses and construction sites.

How clamp-on forks work

A pair of forks hooks over the lip of the bucket, and screws clamp them against it. A stabilizer bar links the two forks so they stay parallel and at the correct spacing. Because the forks fit over the bucket rather than replacing it, you can take them off when you need the bucket for digging or scooping again. They work best on a bucket with a straight, flat cutting edge.

Size and fork dimensions

VEVOR gives the following measurements:

• Overall length: 60 inches (about 152 cm).
• Fork length: 43 inches (about 109 cm).
• Fork width: 4 inches.
• Fork height: 2 inches.
• Lip clearance: 2.6 inches, which is how thick a bucket lip the clamp can accept.

The set weighs 84 lb (about 38 kg). Each package contains two forks, one stabilizer bar and a user manual. Check the lip clearance against the thickness of your bucket's cutting edge before anything else.

Capacity and construction

The forks are made of square steel tubing and are specified for 4,000 lb. That is the maximum load for the set, and the practical limit is often lower. It depends on the lifting capacity of the machine, how far forward the load sits and the ground conditions. The loader's own operating capacity is a separate limit and must also be respected.

Clamping and stability

VEVOR says reinforced bolts and grooved screw heads increase contact area, and that a two-screw design helps prevent slipping. The stabilizer bar is adjustable from 19.5 to 36 inches, which sets the distance between the forks to suit different pallet and load widths. Keeping the loads centred between the forks is key for stability.

Typical jobs

The brand lists moving logs, firewood and timber, carrying fence posts and hay bales, clearing debris and brush, and loading and unloading on farms, in factories and warehouses, and on construction sites. It says the forks are compatible with most tractors, naming John Deere and Kubota as examples.

Who it suits

They suit owners of compact tractors and loaders who occasionally need to move pallets, bales or bundled material and prefer a removable attachment. Heavy daily use at an industrial site may call for a dedicated quick-attach fork frame.

What to check before you buy

• Bucket fit: measure the width and the cutting-edge thickness of your bucket against the fork spacing and lip clearance.
• Machine capacity: make sure your tractor or loader can lift the weight at the fork tips, not just at the bucket.
• Load handling: keep loads low, balanced and centred, and follow the manual and machine operator's guide.
• Fork length: 43 inches suits standard pallets but is short for long loads.
• Upkeep: check bolts and screws for tightness before each use, as vibration can loosen them.
• Visibility: forks in front of the bucket can change what you can see, so move slowly.

The short version

• Clamp-on pallet forks for tractor and loader buckets; no welding needed.
• Rated for 4,000 lb; 60 in overall, 43 in forks, 2.6 in lip clearance.
• Adjustable stabilizer bar from 19.5 to 36 inches.
• Includes two forks, a stabilizer bar and a manual.
• Check bucket fit and the machine's own lifting limits first.
