Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Forklifts and loaders with two pallet forks that fit the measured clamp pockets
- Two-inch receiver inserts and hitch accessories within the verified rating
- Yard trailer positioning only where equipment rules and site procedures allow
Product Overview
Moving a trailer around a yard with forks alone is awkward and can let the tongue slide. A clamped receiver provides a centered hitch point, but it does not turn a forklift into a road tow vehicle or replace the machine capacity chart and site safety plan.
The attachment clamps across two pallet forks and accepts a standard two-inch receiver insert. Capacity varies by exact product and forklift geometry, and the usable load is limited by the lowest-rated component.
Measure fork width, thickness, spacing, usable length, attachment pocket size, receiver dimensions, hitch insert, trailer tongue load, total trailer weight, and forklift capacity at the actual load center.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I tow on public roads with it? A: No. It is intended for controlled off-road positioning and does not make a forklift road legal.
Q: What is the safe towing capacity? A: Use the lowest verified rating among the forklift, attachment, receiver insert, ball, and trailer, adjusted for load center and site conditions.
Q: Will it fit any pallet fork? A: No. Measure fork width, thickness, spacing, and pocket dimensions.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
