2A 150-4-60 Pallet Forks | Class 2A, 60 inch, 5,000 lb Pair

Description

The 2A 150-4-60 are 60 inch Class 2 pallet forks with 4 inch blades for a compatible ITA carriage. Each blade is 1 1/2 inches thick and has a standard tapered tip. Sold as a matched pair, the forks have a published rating of 5,000 lb per pair at a 24 inch load center. Their length is useful when a shorter fork cannot reach far enough beneath a deep pallet or other suitable load, provided the machine can safely handle the load at its actual center of gravity.

The “2A” designation describes the Class 2A upper and lower mounting clips, while “150-4-60” identifies the blade thickness, width, and length. Class identifies carriage geometry, not the capacity of the forklift or the pair. Match the fork hooks, locks, and dimensions to the carriage before placing an order.

A Longer Blade with a 4 Inch Profile

The 60 inch blades extend 12 inches beyond those of the 2A 150-4-48, a similarly sized 48 inch model with the same published pair rating. That extra reach can provide support under deep pallets, long crates, or appropriate bundled materials. It also requires more space for approaching and turning.

At 4 inches wide, each blade has a narrower profile than a 5 inch fork of the same length. Measure pallet entry openings and underside clearance, especially when moving between different pallet styles. A standard taper helps the tips enter suitable openings.

The product listing specifies Cr40 alloy steel, additional material at the heel, dye penetrant testing, and a 3:1 safety factor. The heel is the transition between the horizontal blade and upright shank and needs particular attention during routine inspection. The manufacturing and inspection details describe the forks as supplied; they do not change the published working rating or eliminate the need to check for cracks, bends, uneven tips, heel wear, and damaged hooks.

This pair’s published 5,000 lb rating is stated at a 24 inch load center. If the load is positioned farther forward, the forklift or loader may have less available capacity. Keep the load positioned correctly, travel low, and follow the limits shown for the complete machine and attachment.

Class 2A Carriage Fit and Capacity

ITA Class 2A clips hang from a compatible top carriage rail and engage the lower rail. A locking pin holds each fork at its selected position. Compare the upper and lower hook profiles, carriage rail dimensions, fork lock operation, and available side-to-side travel with your existing equipment. Forks sharing a class label still need their mounting details and rated capacity checked. PRO-Link’s pallet fork class and fit guide provides a measurement checklist.

These 60 inch Class 2 pallet forks with 4 inch blades can be used on a properly matched forklift carriage or on a suitable pallet fork frame fitted to another machine. The forks mount to the carriage rails; the attachment frame, if used, must separately match the machine’s coupler. Check the capacity of the forks, carriage, frame, machine, and any other relevant component. The lowest applicable rating controls the lift.

If you need the same 60 inch length with a wider, differently rated blade, compare the 2A 150-5-60. That model has a 5 inch blade width and a published 6,000 lb pair rating at a 24 inch load center; its higher fork rating does not increase the machine’s rating. Both models are sold only in pairs. The 2A 150-4-60 is covered by PRO-Link’s one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects, subject to its terms.

Questions About the 2A 150-4-60

Is 5,000 lb the rating of each fork?

No. The 5,000 lb rating applies to the matched pair at a 24 inch load center.

Will these forks fit any Class 2 carriage?

Not necessarily. Verify the Class 2A clip arrangement, rail profiles, locking pin, and machine limits.

How does this model differ from the 2A 150-5-60?

Both have 60 inch blades and Class 2A mounting. This model has 4 inch wide blades and a 5,000 lb pair rating; the other has 5 inch wide blades and a 6,000 lb pair rating.
