HLA Attachments HDR5542 Rotating Pallet Fork with BO500 Quick Attach combines a 5,500 lb rated carriage, 42-inch adjustable fork tines, and hydraulically powered rotation in a material-handling attachment designed for compatible loaders and power units. Its hydraulic cylinder provides smooth, contoured rotation through 180 degrees, allowing a full dump to the left. The BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface makes it suitable for appropriately equipped carriers, while the adjustable tines support efficient positioning for pallet and material-handling tasks.
The HDR5542 is built to do more than a conventional fixed pallet-fork attachment. A hydraulic cylinder rotates the fork carriage through 180 degrees, providing a full dump to the left. This powered movement allows the operator to rotate and discharge compatible loads from the power unit rather than relying solely on loader-arm movement.
Hydraulic-cylinder actuation provides smooth, contoured operation throughout the rotation. The attachment requires loader auxiliary hydraulics, with its hydraulic-hose quick couplers connected to the power unit.
This HDR55-series configuration has a 5,500 lb rated carriage and is fitted with 42-inch pallet-fork tines. The tines are adjustable, allowing their position to be changed to suit the load being handled. The attachment has an approximate catalogue weight of 840 lb, which should be considered when matching it to the loader and determining the available operating capacity of the complete loader-and-attachment combination.
The HLA HDR5542BO500 is configured with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for loaders and power units equipped with a compatible universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier and suitable auxiliary hydraulics.
For the HDR55, HLA recommends a power unit in the 4,200–5,500 lb loader lift-capacity class. Carrier fit, hydraulic connections, loader capacity, attachment weight, and the weight and position of the load must all be considered before operation.
Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the rotating carriage. The attachment’s hydraulic-hose quick couplers must be connected to the power unit. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not specified here, so the power unit’s hydraulic suitability should be confirmed before use.
