HLA Attachments - Log Grapple Mounted On HD55 Pallet Fork with Cylinders and 42" Tines - Material Handling Fork Attachment [LA-LG5542BO500]

HLA Attachments LG5542BO500 Log Grapple on HD55 Pallet Fork combines a hydraulic log grapple with HLA’s heavy-duty HD55 pallet-fork frame, creating a versatile material-handling attachment for logs and other loads that benefit from hydraulic retention. This configuration features 42-inch solid forklift tines, a 50-inch-wide carriage, included heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, and a 5,500 lb rated capacity. Its BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting interface is designed for compatible skid-steer-style carriers, while the sliding Class II hook-type tines can be adjusted and locked in any position along the carriage.

Hydraulic Grapple and Heavy-Duty Fork Combination

The LG5542BO500 is the grapple-equipped version of the HLA HD55 pallet fork. By integrating a hydraulic grapple with a heavy-duty fork frame, it provides secure load control while retaining the support and adjustability of pallet-fork tines. It is well suited to handling logs and similar material where an upper grapple can help hold the load against the forks during movement.

Two 42-inch solid forklift tines provide a durable load-supporting platform. Each tine has a 1-1/2 by 4-inch cross section and uses a Class II hook-type mounting arrangement. The tines slide across the 50-inch carriage, allowing their spacing to be adapted to the material being handled, and they can be locked in any selected position.

5,500 lb Rated HD55 Platform

The underlying HD55 pallet-fork assembly has a rated capacity of 5,500 lb at a 24-inch load centre. This heavy-duty platform is paired with included hydraulic cylinders for operation of the grapple. The complete attachment weighs approximately 800 lb, helping operators account for attachment weight when assessing the usable capacity and operating limits of the carrier.

Key Features

• Hydraulic log grapple mounted on an HLA HD55 heavy-duty pallet fork
• 5,500 lb rated capacity
• HD55 capacity basis of 5,500 lb at a 24-inch load centre
• 42-inch solid forklift tines
• Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders included
• 50-inch-wide fork carriage
• Sliding, adjustable tines for flexible spacing
• Tines can be locked in any position along the carriage
• Class II hook-type tine mounting
• BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting interface
• Approximately 800 lb attachment weight

Tine Adjustment and Load Support

The adjustable tine layout allows the attachment to accommodate materials of different widths. Rather than being fixed at a single spacing, the Class II hook-type tines slide along the carriage and lock into the desired position. Their solid construction and substantial 1-1/2 by 4-inch cross section are matched to the heavy-duty HD55 fork frame.

The hydraulic grapple adds upper load retention to the fork structure. Heavy-duty cylinders are supplied with this configuration, providing the hydraulic actuation needed for grapple operation.

Compatibility

The LG5542BO500 uses HLA mounting code BO500, which identifies a skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for skid-steer-style quick-attach carriers compatible with the BO500 mounting configuration.

Carrier and Hydraulic Requirements

A compatible carrier must have the appropriate skid-steer-style quick-attach interface and sufficient operating capacity for the approximately 800 lb attachment plus the intended load. Hydraulic cylinders are included; however, flow, pressure, hose, and coupler requirements are not stated for this configuration.
