📘 Overview
The Haugen forklift trailer mover (MFBA) is a fork mounted trailer spotter with a 2" standard receiver hitch that slides onto your pallet fork tines. Move trailers around a yard or loading dock with the forklift or telehandler already on site, instead of bringing in a tractor unit.
Fork pockets are 48" deep and fit tines up to 2.50" thick by 6.50" wide. Secured to the tines with a pin. 127 lbs.

🚛 Why Spot Trailers With a Forklift
Yards and docks constantly need trailers moved a short distance — off a bay, into a shed, round to a loading position. Bringing in a tractor unit for that is slow and often not available.
A forklift or telehandler is already on site, turns tightly, and gives the operator a clear view of the coupling. At 127 lbs the spotter goes on and off in a minute, so the machine returns to its normal work immediately afterwards.
📏 48" Pockets Are Deeper Than Most
The pockets run 48" deep, which puts a long length of tine inside the attachment. That matters on a spotter more than on most fork attachments: towing puts a horizontal pull on the unit rather than a vertical load, and depth is what resists it twisting or working forward on the tines.
Fit the securing pin every time, including for short moves across a yard.
🔩 The Forklift Ball Hitch Mount Is Separate
The MFBA gives you a 2" receiver. The ball mount goes in separately so you match the couplers on your own trailers — options include a 2" ball, a 2-5/16" ball, a triple ball mount, and an adjustable triple ball with 6" of rise and drop.
The adjustable version is worth considering if your trailers sit at different heights, since coupler height is the usual reason a spotter cannot pick up a particular trailer.
🚜 Fork Tine Requirements
Slides onto existing pallet fork tines up to 2.50" thick by 6.50" wide, in 48" deep pockets, secured with a pin. Fits forklifts and telehandlers whose tines are within that section.
127 lbs. Towing loads are horizontal rather than vertical, so the limit here is the machine's traction and the securing pin rather than lift capacity.
❓ Forklift Trailer Mover FAQs
Does it come with a hitch ball?
No — the MFBA provides a 2" standard receiver. Ball mounts are ordered separately in 2", 2-5/16", triple ball and adjustable triple ball, so you match your own trailer couplers.
Will it fit my forks?
Pockets are 48" deep and take tines up to 2.50" thick by 6.50" wide. Measure your tine section against that.
Why are the pockets so deep?
Towing pulls horizontally rather than lifting vertically, and pocket depth is what stops the unit twisting or working forward along the tines. Always fit the securing pin, even for short moves.
How is this different from the skid steer trailer spotters?
This mounts on fork tines for a forklift or telehandler. The skid steer versions mount to a universal quick attach, and there are three-point versions for tractors.
What if my trailers sit at different heights?
An adjustable triple ball mount gives 6" of rise and drop, which covers most variation between trailers without a second mount.
Can it tow on the road?
No. This is a yard spotter for repositioning trailers on site — moving them short distances at low speed around a yard, dock or shed.
