HLA Attachments - 5500 lbs Power Tilting Pallet Fork 48" - Material Handling Fork Attachment [LA-HDO5548BO500]

HLA Attachments HDO5548BO500 5,500 lb Power-Tilting Pallet Fork is a heavy-duty material-handling attachment designed to improve load control on uneven job sites. Combining a 5,500 lb rated capacity with 48-inch adjustable fork tines, this attachment is suited to moving pallets and other fork-compatible loads with loaders and skid steers. Its hydraulic tilting system provides up to 45 degrees of leveling in either direction, allowing the operator to adjust the fork angle smoothly from the host machine instead of relying solely on machine positioning.

Hydraulic Leveling for Uneven Ground

The HDO5548 uses a hydraulic cylinder-powered tilting mechanism to level the fork frame. The attachment can tilt up to 45 degrees in either direction, providing a wide adjustment range when handling loads on sloped, irregular, or uneven terrain. This power-tilting function helps the operator position the tines and manage the load angle without repeatedly repositioning the entire loader or skid steer.

An auxiliary hydraulic connection is required to operate the tilting cylinder. HLA Attachments also offers an optional HK90 hose kit, which includes 90-inch hoses with flat-faced couplers. An optional SHMK spring hose mount kit is available to support hydraulic hose routing.

Heavy-Duty Material Handling

With a manufacturer-rated capacity of 5,500 lb, the HLA Attachments power-tilting pallet fork is built for demanding material-handling applications. Its 48-inch tines are adjustable, allowing their position to be changed to accommodate different pallet openings and load dimensions. The attachment has an approximate manufacturer-listed weight of 770 lb.

This configuration combines the HDO5548 base pallet fork with HLA mounting code BO500. The BO500 mount uses a skid-steer-style quick-attach interface, making it suitable for compatible loaders and skid steers equipped with the corresponding carrier.
