HLA Attachments - 5500 lbs Power Tine Pallet Fork 48" - Material Handling Fork Attachment [LA-HDN5548BO500]

HLA Attachments HDN5548 Power Tine Pallet Fork with BO500 Mount is a heavy-duty material-handling attachment designed for operators who need hydraulic tine positioning and a rated capacity of 5,500 lb. Its 48-inch tines move inward and outward equally under hydraulic power, allowing the operator to adjust tine spacing using the carrier’s auxiliary hydraulic supply. In addition to handling compatible palletized loads, the powered tines are suitable for clamping applications such as handling nursery root balls. This configuration includes HLA’s BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface.

Hydraulic Tine Adjustment

The HDN5548 uses hydraulically sliding tines to reduce the need for manual tine-position changes. Both tines move inward and outward equally, providing synchronized adjustment when changing between loads. This makes the attachment useful for material-handling work where pallet openings, load dimensions, or clamping requirements vary throughout the job.

An auxiliary hydraulic supply is required to operate the sliding tines. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements for this exact model are not specified, so the carrier’s hydraulic system and connection requirements should be confirmed before installation.

5,500 lb Rated Capacity

With a rated capacity of 5,500 lb, the HLA HDN5548 is built for demanding material-handling applications. The 48-inch tine length provides the working reach required for compatible pallets and other supported loads. The attachment has an approximate weight of 700 lb, which should be considered when confirming carrier capacity and calculating the remaining operating capacity available for the load.

BO500 Universal Skid-Steer Quick Attach

This model is supplied with mounting code BO500, identifying HLA’s universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for carriers equipped with a compatible universal skid-steer quick-attach mounting system. Carrier mount compatibility, hydraulic connections, lift capacity, and operating limits should all be verified before use.

Clamping and Material-Handling Applications

The hydraulic power-tine design supports more than standard pallet handling. Because the tines can be powered inward as well as outward, the attachment is suitable for clamping applications such as nursery root balls. The synchronized tine movement helps position both tines equally around an appropriate load.

Carrier and Hydraulic Requirements

The attachment requires a carrier fitted with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach system compatible with HLA mounting code BO500. The carrier must also provide an auxiliary hydraulic supply to power the sliding tines. Confirm that the carrier has suitable attachment capacity, hydraulic connections, and sufficient operating capacity for the combined weight of the approximately 700 lb attachment and the intended load.

Optional Hydraulic Accessories

HLA offers the HK90 optional hose kit, which includes 90-inch hoses with flat-faced couplers. The optional SHMK spring hose mount kit is also available to support hose routing. These items are listed as options and are not identified as standard equipment with the attachment.
