Description
HLA Attachments LG5548-BO500 Log Grapple Pallet Fork combines the material-handling capability of the HD55 pallet-fork frame with a hydraulic grapple for handling logs and other suitable materials. This heavy-duty attachment features 48-inch solid forklift tines, a 5,500 lb rated capacity, included hydraulic cylinders, and a BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mount. Its sliding Class II hook-type tines can be adjusted across the carriage and locked into position, allowing the fork spacing to be configured for different loads.
Heavy-Duty Grapple and Pallet-Fork Design
The LG5548 is the grapple-equipped version of HLA’s HD55 pallet fork. It uses a 50-inch carriage and 1-1/2 x 4-inch Class II hook-type solid forklift tines. The 48-inch tines provide a durable load-supporting platform, while the grapple and included heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders add hydraulic load-control capability.
The fork assembly has a rated capacity of 5,500 lb at a 24-inch load center. The attachment weighs approximately 820 lb, so the loader’s lifting capacity, operating limits, and attachment weight allowance should be considered before use.
Adjustable Solid Forklift Tines
The solid forklift tines slide across the carriage, enabling the operator to adjust the spacing to suit the material being handled. Once correctly positioned, the tines can be locked in place. This adjustable design makes the attachment suitable for operations requiring both a robust fork platform and the additional control provided by a hydraulic grapple.

Loader Compatibility
This LG5548 configuration is fitted with HLA mounting code BO500. It is compatible with loaders equipped with a skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier that accepts the BO500 mounting interface. BO500 identifies the mounting style rather than a loader-brand-specific interface. Confirm the loader’s carrier type, lift capacity, hydraulic capability, and operating limits before installation.
Hydraulic Requirements
Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders are supplied with the attachment. A verified hydraulic flow or pressure requirement is not published for this model. The host loader must have suitable hydraulic provisions to operate the grapple, and compatibility should be confirmed before installation and use.
