Wheel Loader Pipe Forks - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

Haugen wheel loader pipe forks (MWFP) are heavy-duty shaft-style non-swinging pipe forks for wheel loaders — available with JRB 416, JRB 418, and Cat Fusion quick coupler mounts. The 96" wide frame uses stress-relieved shaft material with the eye of the fork welded directly to the back of the tine, eliminating the rails and hooks that can damage pipe and conduit. Two tine cross-sections: 2.5"×6" (20,000 lb capacity, tine spread 21.25–94") and 3"×7" (34,000 lb capacity, tine spread 24–94"). Three tine lengths: 60" (not available on JRB 416), 72", and 96". 15 total SKUs. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Three coupler styles: JRB 416, JRB 418, Cat Fusion
• Two tine cross-sections: 2.5"×6" (20,000 lbs) and 3"×7" (34,000 lbs)
• Three tine lengths: 60", 72", 96"
• 96" wide frame
• Non-swinging shaft-style design — tines do not swing, keeping loads stable during transport
• Eye welded on back of tine — no rails or hooks that could damage pipe, conduit, or coated material
• Stress-relieved shaft material
• Tine spread: 21.25–94" (2.5×6) or 24–94" (3×7)
• Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Eye-on-back-of-tine design eliminates pipe and conduit damage that standard fork rails cause — conventional pallet forks use a top hook or rail that the tine slides through. When used with round pipe, the rail contacts the pipe and either marks coated pipe or creates a point of concentrated stress. Haugen's design eliminates the rail entirely; the tine is a clean shaft with no lateral contact points above the tine itself.
• 20,000 and 34,000 lb capacities match the working loads of large wheel loaders on industrial pipe yards — pipe yards, steel distributors, and infrastructure projects move structural pipe, casing, and conduit in large bundle weights. The 3"×7" tine at 34,000 lbs covers the upper end of what large wheel loaders can safely lift at standard load centers.
• Stress-relieved shaft material reduces residual stress fatigue — thermal stress relief is applied to the shaft material after forming, which reduces the residual stresses left by the manufacturing process and improves fatigue life under high-cycle loading. This matters for pipe forks because the load is often cantilevered at the tine tips, placing high bending moment at the tine root.
• Three tine lengths accommodate bundle diameter variation and pipe length — shorter tines (60") are for tightly bundled shorter pipe where tine penetration depth is limited; longer tines (96") provide deeper engagement under long pipe bundles and larger-diameter pipe that requires more tine length for stable support.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

Select the coupler style matching your wheel loader's quick coupler: JRB 416, JRB 418, or Cat Fusion. Verify with your machine dealer if unsure which coupler your machine uses. The 20,000 and 34,000 lb capacity ratings are for the forks — always lift to the lower of fork capacity or machine's rated operating capacity at the applicable load center.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Designed for wheel loaders with JRB 416, JRB 418, or Cat Fusion quick couplers. Select the coupler style matching your machine:

JRB 416 and Cat Fusion both come with 60", 72", and 96" tine options. JRB 418 adds a 60" tine option. All use 96" wide frame (non-swinging shaft-style tines). Verify your machine's coupler spec with your dealer before ordering.
