HLA Attachments - 5,500 lb 5500 lbs Side Shift Pallet Fork 48" - Material Handling Fork Attachment [LA-HDS5548BO500]

HLA Attachments HDS5548BO500 Hydraulic Side-Shift Pallet Fork combines a 5,500 lb rated capacity, 48-inch adjustable fork tines and hydraulic side-shift control in a heavy-duty material-handling attachment. Built around the HDS5548 pallet fork and supplied with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount, it is designed for compatible loaders equipped with auxiliary hydraulics. The hydraulically operated carriage provides 16 inches of total lateral travel—8 inches to either the right or left—helping the operator align the fork tines with pallets and loads from the loader seat.

Hydraulic Side Shift for Load Alignment

The HDS5548 features a hydraulic carriage side-shift mechanism that moves the carriage laterally without requiring the loader itself to be repositioned for every adjustment. With up to 8 inches of movement in either direction, the attachment offers 16 inches of total side-shift travel. This is particularly useful when approaching pallets or positioning handled material where more precise tine alignment is needed.

Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the side-shift function. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not specified.

5,500 lb Rated Material-Handling Capacity

This pallet fork attachment has a rated capacity of 5,500 lb. Its 48-inch tines provide a practical fork length for pallet and material-handling applications, while the adjustable tine design allows the fork spacing to be configured for different loads. The attachment has an approximate weight of 770 lb.

BO500 Quick-Attach Mount

This configuration includes HLA Attachments’ BO500 mounting code, identified as a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for loaders equipped with the corresponding interface. HLA also states that its hydraulically operated pallet forks can be manufactured to fit various loader makes and models; however, this product is specifically identified as the HDS5548 fitted with the BO500 mount.
