❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes a nursery fork different from pallet forks?
A nursery fork has a hydraulic clamp that cradles and holds round root balls and plants, opening wide (54″) and closing tight (4″) to fit different sizes. Pallet forks are fixed tines for palletized loads. The clamping action is what makes the nursery fork suited to handling balled trees and shrubs securely.
Q: How big a root ball can it handle?
The clamp opens to 54″ and closes to 4″, cradling a wide range of root-ball sizes, with a 3,000 lb lift capacity and long 65″ forks. That covers large balled-and-burlapped nursery stock on a full-size machine.
Q: How is this different from the mini nursery forks?
This severe-duty fork has a 3,000 lb capacity, 65″ forks, and 54″ opening for full-size skid steers. The mini nursery forks are sized for compact machines with a 2,000 lb capacity and 36″ width. Choose based on whether you run a full-size or mini machine.
Q: What protects the hydraulics?
The cylinder is protected, hoses route internally, and a heavy-duty hose-saver spring shields the connections. In nursery work, where the fork brushes against branches, soil, and stock, that protection prevents the damaged hoses and cylinders that cause downtime.
