📘 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.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
Universal Quick Attach (SSQA). The 110EC-ITA frame capacity is 3,700 lbs. Class 2 tines are rated 5,500 lbs but the governing limit is the lower of frame rating, tine rating, and machine rated operating capacity. Never exceed the most restrictive rating in the system.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system:
| Bobcat | Caterpillar | John Deere | Case |
| New Holland | Takeuchi | Kubota | Gehl |
Frame rated 3,700 lbs. Tines rated 5,500 lbs. Machine ROC governs — never exceed the most restrictive rating in the system.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is ITA Category 2 and why does it matter?
ITA (International Truck Association) Category 2 is a standardized fork mounting interface specification defining the dimensions of the fork shanks and the hook-and-bar mounting system. Category 2 is the standard for skid steer and light-duty telehandler forks. Using an ITA-standard frame means any ITA Category 2 tines from any manufacturer will fit your frame — you are not locked into purchasing replacement tines from a single source. |
|
Q: What is the load capacity limit when using the 110EC assembly?
The capacity limit is the lowest of three ratings: (1) the 110EC-ITA frame — 3,700 lbs, (2) the Class 2 tines — 5,500 lbs, and (3) your skid steer's rated operating capacity (ROC) at the load center of the forks. In most cases, your machine's ROC is the governing limit. Never rely on the tine or frame rating alone — always confirm your machine's ROC at the specific load distance. |
|
Q: Which tine length should I choose — 42" or 48"?
42" tines match the standard GMA (Grocery Manufacturers Association) pallet depth and are correct for approximately 90% of North American pallet handling. 48" tines are used for non-standard pallets, coil-wound stock, large equipment, and applications requiring deeper fork insertion depth before engaging a load. Select 42" unless your specific loads require longer tines. |
|
Q: Can I use the 110EC-ITA frame with my own tines?
Yes — the 110EC-ITA frame accepts any ITA Category 2 tines. If you already have compatible tines from a previous fork setup, the frame-only SKU (110EC-ITA) is the correct purchase. If you need complete assemblies including new tines, select 110EC-42-ASSY (42" tines) or 110EC-48-ASSY (48" tines). |
|
Q: Is there a heavy-duty alternative to the 110EC economy frame?
Yes — Star Industries offers the 110WT-ITA Heavy Duty Walk Through frame (5,500 lb capacity, 268 lbs, 46" wide × 35" tall) for heavier applications. The WT frame uses machined ITA carriage bars and is sized for larger machines and higher-capacity pallet handling.
