Its carriage provides 16 inches of total side-shift travel—8 inches to the right and 8 inches to the left—allowing the operator to reposition the fork carriage laterally without moving the entire loader. This combination is well suited to handling and aligning palletized materials where controlled fork placement and a substantial load rating are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHydraulic Side Shift for Easier Load Alignment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDS5542BO500 uses a hydraulic carriage side-shift mechanism to provide precise left-to-right positioning. With 8 inches of movement in either direction, the carriage can be adjusted through a total range of 16 inches. This makes it possible to correct fork alignment from the loader rather than repeatedly repositioning the complete machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide-shift capability is especially useful when approaching pallets or placing material where space is limited or exact lateral positioning is important. The adjustable pallet-fork tines add further flexibility, allowing their spacing to be set for different palletized loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e5,500 lb Capacity with 42-Inch Tines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration is based on HLA Attachments’ HDS5542 pallet fork. It has a rated capacity of 5,500 lb and is equipped with 42-inch tines. The base HDS5542 attachment weighs approximately 750 lb. HLA does not publish a separate assembled weight for the complete BO500-mounted configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BO500 designation identifies the mounting configuration supplied with this model.
