Mini Skid Steer Class 1 Pallet Fork Tines - Star Industries

📘 Overview

The Star Industries Skid Steer Pallet Forks (Model 110EC) turn your skid steer loader into a pallet-handling machine using an ITA-style fork frame and Class 2 fork tines. The economy 110EC-ITA frame provides 3,700 lb capacity and clean operator visibility at 157 lbs — available as a frame-only (110EC-ITA) or assembled with 42"" (110EC-42-ASSY) or 48"" (110EC-48-ASSY) Class 2 tines. The 110EC frame accepts standard ITA Category 2 fork tines for maximum interchangeability. 5-year factory guarantee. USA made since 1981.

⚙️ Key Features

• 110EC-ITA: Economy frame only — 3,700 lb | 157 lbs | 30.5"" wide × 27.5"" tall
• 110EC-42-ASSY: Frame + 42"" Class 2 tines (1-1/2"" × 4"" × 42"") | 5,500 lb tine rating
• 110EC-48-ASSY: Frame + 48"" Class 2 tines (1-1/2"" × 4"" × 48"") | 5,500 lb tine rating
• ITA Category 2 standard — compatible with most ITA-style fork tines
• Clear view design — open frame for maximum forward visibility from cab
• Universal Quick Attach (SSQA)
• 5-year factory guarantee | USA made since 1981

🔑 Benefits

• ITA standard compatibility allows tine interchangeability with other ITA-compatible frames — the 110EC uses the industry-standard ITA (International Truck Association) Category 2 fork mounting interface. This means Class 2 tines from any ITA-compatible source can be used on the Star frame, and Star tines can be used on any ITA-compatible frame. This prevents vendor lock-in for tine replacement and repair.
• Open-frame clear-view design significantly improves load approach safety vs solid-plate frames — solid plate fork frames block the operator's view of the fork tips and load during approach and placement, requiring experienced judgment to avoid product damage and tip-over risk. The 110EC's open frame provides direct line-of-sight to the fork tips throughout the approach, improving precision and reducing damage to both load and rack.
• 42"" vs 48"" tine selection matches pallet standards for North American operations — 42"" tines (1,066mm) match the standard GMA/Block pallet depth and are correct for the majority of North American pallet handling. 48"" tines are appropriate for nonstandard pallets, coil-wound materials, and applications requiring deeper fork insertion before lift. Select 42"" for standard pallet work; 48"" for non-standard load dimensions.
• 3,700 lb frame capacity properly rates the system for typical skid steer pallet handling loads — many contractors use fork attachments rated beyond their skid steer's actual operating capacity, creating false confidence in the system. The 110EC frame's 3,700 lb capacity is appropriately matched to the rated operating capacity range of mid-size skid steers, ensuring the frame, not the machine, is never the limiting factor in normal pallet work.
