Mini digger forks

Anyone got a set ?
I know you couldn’t lift a lot but would still be very handy

I've got some under the Rototilt on my 2.7 tonner (not for sale though sorry) - they are handy but its amazing what they won't lift!
Having them under the tilty makes them much better than if they were fixed forwards or backwards obviously, but the overall geometry of a digger means that if you need to use them off the floor (lifting something into/out of a trailer for example) the load is away from the machine, dramatically reducing stability and capacity.
They are handy, but not really a go-to lifting/handling device IME.

I made a set, bought a head stock & forks for £100 then got local fab place to cut out some side plates, stiffener plates & supply some pins.
This is on a 5.5t lifting about 600+kg. The attachment weighs quite a lot so reduces total capacity. This is about the most I would be happy lifting & even then only in controlled situations. One IBC pallet you can basically do what you like with it.

Trying to see what I could lift full pack of trench block

That’s about what I was thinking . I’m not expecting it to lift much more than 250kgs but very handy lifting stuff you just want to move nearby

That’s impressive

Considering long dipper my old tilty that was UK pup hitch set up so heavier than s type version pallet forks that are heavy made and the pallet for a few extra grams plus yard is sloping down hill the way I'm facing

That looks very good . Similar design to the ones on my duck from Brian scott .

I looked at all the ones I could find.
For the digger size & lift capacity its well over spec.

I would have put the pins closer to the head stock but I have a towball / lift pin on the end of my QH.
So needed the clearance.

As he says!! It is amazing what damage you can do to a pallet and it’s contents with forks on a digger if you are on tour own!!

all true .... unless you have a VA boom ..... POP then ... on or off a tilty

Yes tab boom make a massive difference. Though my duck won't throw a 1.5t pallet far cross carriage. A 8t will handle a 1t pallet fine but you would have to be careful with anything much smaller but they would be handy for bumping half packs about especially if you split them when there dropped off
