Skid-Steer Fork Raises To New Heights

Skid-Steer Fork Raises To New Heights TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 28-5-35 Here's something new: A forklift mast that quick-taches to a skid steer loader or compact tractor to reach higher than most conventional forklifts. Sheyenne Tooling's "Tele-Fork" has a 2,000-lb. capacity at its maximum lift height of 12 1/2 ft. Company representative Ted Traeder says the company created it after a customer wanted to lift furniture, sheet rock, and other materials to the upper floors of new homes. Before coming out with the Tele-Fork, the customer had to rent an expensive telehandler, crane or other machine to do the job. The Tele-Fork provides the capability to reach new heights and also functions as a conventional forklift when used at ground level. The fork's prongs are 4 in. wide by 48 in. long. The whole thing weighs 1,100 lbs and comes powder coated. The Tele-Fork, which was displayed for the first time in August, sells for $2,295. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Sheyenne Tooling & Mfg. P.O.
