📘 Overview
Haugen clamp on pallet forks (MCOF) convert a bucket into a fork attachment in minutes — the clamp on bucket forks solution for machines that only have one bucket and need to move pallets occasionally. Three models from 2,000 to 6,000 lbs, in 42" and 48" tine lengths.
They clamp to the bucket of skid steers, wheel loaders, tractors and compact tractors. No quick attach change, no hydraulics.

🔧 Clamp-On or Hook-Over?
Both turn a bucket into forks without changing attachments, and the difference is how they hold on.
- Clamp-on (MCOF). Clamps to the bucket. Lighter — 125 to 275 lbs — and quicker to fit, which suits occasional pallet work on a machine whose main job is the bucket. Capacities to 6,000 lbs.
- Hook-over. U-brackets hook over the cutting edge and bucket back, spreading load across four or five brackets. Heavier and rated far higher, to 28,000 lbs, for machines and loads beyond what a clamp-on covers.
If you move pallets now and then and the loads are modest, clamp-on is the simpler and cheaper answer. If pallet work is regular or heavy, hook-over or a dedicated quick attach fork set is the better tool.
⚖ Choosing a Capacity for Pallet Forks for Tractor Bucket Use
2,000 lbs on 42" tines suits compact tractors and light yard work. 4,000 lbs on 48" covers most general handling. 6,000 lbs on 48" is for heavier loads on larger machines — and at 275 lbs it is more than twice the weight of the 2,000 lb model, so do not over-specify if the loads do not need it.
🚜 Which Machines These Fit
Clamps to the bucket of skid steers, wheel loaders, tractors and compact tractors. No coupler change, no hydraulics.
Because the forks clamp to a bucket rather than a coupler, the same set moves between machines with similar buckets. As always, the machine's rated lifting capacity is a separate limit from the fork's rating and is usually the lower one.
❓ Clamp On Pallet Forks FAQs
How do clamp on pallet forks attach?
They clamp directly to the bucket. Nothing is removed from the machine, no coupler is involved and there are no hydraulics — a few minutes to fit and the same to take off.
Which machines do they fit?
Skid steers, wheel loaders, tractors and compact tractors — anything with a bucket in the right size range. Fitment is by bucket, not by machine brand.
Which capacity do I need?
2,000 lbs on 42" tines for compact tractors and light work; 4,000 lbs on 48" for general handling; 6,000 lbs on 48" for heavier loads. The 6,000 lb model weighs 275 lbs against 125 for the smallest, so match it to real loads.
How do these compare to hook over bucket forks?
Clamp-ons are lighter and quicker to fit, rated to 6,000 lbs. Hook-overs use four or five brackets over the cutting edge and back, and go to 28,000 lbs. Occasional light pallet work favours clamp-on; regular or heavy work favours hook-over.
Do they need hydraulics?
No — entirely mechanical, with no cylinders, hoses or auxiliary circuit.
Can I leave them on the bucket?
They fit and remove in minutes, which is the point of the design. Whether to leave them fitted depends on whether you need full bucket function in between — with the forks on, the bucket is a fork carriage.
