2A 150-5-48 – Pallet Forks

The 2A 150-5-48 Pallet Forks are heavy-duty Class II forklift forks engineered for higher-capacity material handling in industrial, warehouse, and agricultural environments. Designed for operators who require increased load support and dependable performance, these forks combine robust blade geometry with precision manufacturing to deliver consistent results in demanding lifting applications.

Each fork features a 1 1/2-inch thick x 5-inch wide x 48-inch long blade with a standard taper, providing increased surface contact for improved load stability while maintaining smooth pallet entry. The wider blade profile is especially effective when handling heavier pallets, machinery, or wide loads that benefit from greater support and reduced load deflection.

Fork Design, Strength, and Load Performance

The 2A 150-5-48 pallet forks are manufactured from high-strength Cr40 alloy steel, delivering excellent durability and resistance to fatigue under repeated lifting cycles. Advanced automated and digitally controlled manufacturing processes ensure precise dimensional uniformity, consistent blade geometry, and a clean, professional appearance across each matched pair.

Additional material thickness is engineered into the fork heel, the most critical stress point during lifting operations. This reinforcement significantly improves fatigue resistance and extends overall fork service life, making these forks well suited for continuous use in high-demand environments. A 3:1 safety factor provides added assurance during daily operation, supporting safe and predictable performance under rated loads.

Manufacturing Standards, Safety, and Applications

Each fork undergoes dye penetrant testing prior to shipment to identify cracks or structural imperfections, ensuring dependable operation and long-term reliability. The forks are manufactured in compliance with ISO 2328 and ISO 2330 standards and meet OSHA and ANSI B56 safety guidelines, making them suitable for regulated workplaces and professional material handling fleets.

Rated at 6,000 pounds per pair at a 24-inch load center, the 2A 150-5-48 pallet forks are ideal for handling heavy pallets, equipment, and materials that require enhanced load stability. Sold only in matched pairs, these Class II forks deliver professional-grade strength, safety compliance, and consistent performance for operators who demand reliable, higher-capacity forklift forks.
