2A 150-5-60 60 inch Class 2 Pallet Forks with 5 inch Blades – 6,000 lb Pair

Description

The 2A 150-5-60 are 60 inch Class 2 pallet forks with 5 inch blades for a compatible ITA carriage. Each blade is 1 1/2 inches thick and has a standard taper at the tip. Sold only as a matched pair, these forks carry a published 6,000 lb pair rating at a 24 inch load center. The added length can support deeper pallets and long materials when shorter blades do not reach far enough beneath the load.

“2A” identifies the Class 2A upper and lower mounting clips. The remaining model numbers describe the 1 1/2 inch thickness, 5 inch width, and 60 inch length. These specifications distinguish this pair from other Class 2 forks, while the existing carriage geometry and machine limits determine whether it is the right replacement.

Added Reach for Deeper Loads

A 60 inch blade extends 12 inches farther than the otherwise similarly sized 2A 150-5-48. That added length can provide support beneath deep pallets, long crates, and suitable bundles when shorter blades would leave too much material unsupported. It also increases the room required to approach and maneuver a load. Select the length for the material you handle and the space in which you work.

The 5 inch blade width provides a broad contact surface beneath a suitable load. Its tapered tip helps with entry, but buyers should measure pallet openings and underside clearance before choosing the wider profile. Fork spacing, load condition, and placement remain important: a wider blade does not make a weak pallet sound or correct an uneven load.

The forks are manufactured from Cr40 alloy steel. Added material at the heel reinforces the rounded transition between each blade and upright shank, an area exposed to repeated contact and wear. The product specifications describe automated manufacturing controls, dye penetrant testing, and a 3:1 safety factor. These details do not raise the published working rating. Inspect the blades, heels, clips, locks, and carriage as part of routine equipment maintenance.

Longer blades require particular attention to load position. Although this pair has the same published 6,000 lb rating at a 24 inch load center as the 48 inch version, a load carried farther forward may reduce the capacity available from the forklift or other carrier. Fork length alone does not change the stated load center or authorize lifting a heavier load.

Class 2A Mounting and Equipment Fit

These 60 inch Class 2 pallet forks with 5 inch blades hang from the top rail of a compatible ITA carriage. Their lower clips engage the bottom rail, and the locking components hold each fork in its selected position. Check the carriage rail profiles, upper and lower clip spacing, lock type, notch engagement, and available side-to-side movement before ordering. PRO-Link’s pallet fork class and fit guide explains these checks in more detail.

A forklift may use an ITA carriage, while a skid steer or tractor may use ITA forks on a properly designed attachment frame. In the latter setup, the frame connects to the machine through its compatible coupler; the individual forks connect to the frame. These forks are not a substitute for shaft-mounted bucket forks or a complete pallet fork attachment.

The published 6,000 lb capacity is for the matched pair at a 24 inch load center. Check the machine’s data plate and the ratings of the carriage, frame, coupler, and forks. Follow the lowest applicable limit. PRO-Link covers this product under its one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the full terms.

Questions & Answers

How does this model differ from 2A 150-5-48?

Both have Class 2A mounting, 1 1/2 inch thickness, 5 inch width, and a published 6,000 lb pair rating at a 24 inch load center. This model has 60 inch blades instead of 48 inch blades.

Will the 5 inch blades fit every pallet opening?

No. Check the opening width and underside clearance of the pallets you handle. The tapered tips assist entry, but the full blade width must fit.

Is the 6,000 lb rating per fork?

No. It is the rating for the pair at the specified load center. The complete lifting setup may have a lower limit.
