2A 1-3-42 – Pallet Forks

The 2A 1-3-42 Pallet Forks are light-duty ITA Class II forklift forks engineered for controlled handling of lighter loads in warehouse, agricultural, and small-equipment environments. Built with a 1-inch thick x 3-inch wide x 42-inch long blade, these forks feature a standard taper that allows smooth pallet entry and consistent load positioning. Designed for forklifts requiring Class 2A hook-type forks, this model provides dependable performance for lower-capacity material handling applications.

Manufactured from high-strength Cr40 alloy steel, the forks are produced using advanced automation and digitally controlled processes to maintain dimensional accuracy and uniform structural integrity. This precision manufacturing approach ensures proper carriage fit, consistent hook alignment, and repeatable performance under rated capacity conditions.

Construction and Material Integrity

The 2A 1-3-42 forks incorporate additional material thickness at the heel, the highest stress concentration area during lifting operations. Reinforcement in this critical zone improves fatigue resistance and extends service life under repeated daily loading cycles.

Each fork is dye penetrant tested prior to shipment to identify surface cracks or manufacturing imperfections. This inspection process enhances structural reliability and confirms compliance with required safety standards before entering service.

Manufactured to ISO 2328 and ISO 2330 specifications, these forks meet internationally recognized dimensional and performance standards. They also comply with OSHA and ANSI B56 safety guidelines, making them suitable for regulated industrial and commercial environments.

Mounting Configuration and Load Rating

Equipped with ITA Class 2A hooks and an integrated locking pin, the forks attach securely to compatible forklift carriages. The locking mechanism minimizes lateral movement during operation, improving operator control and load stability.

These forks are rated at 2,000 pounds per pair at a 24-inch load center and are manufactured with a 3:1 safety factor. This rating makes them appropriate for lighter palletized materials, boxed goods, and small equipment handling tasks.

The 42-inch blade length provides sufficient reach for standard pallet depths while maintaining maneuverability in tighter warehouse aisles or confined agricultural settings.

Sold only in matched pairs, the 2A 1-3-42 pallet forks deliver consistent load distribution and balanced lifting performance when installed correctly on approved Class II carriages.
