2A 175-4-72 – Pallet Forks

The 2A 175-4-72 Pallet Forks are heavy-duty Class II forklift forks made in the U.S.A., engineered for extended reach and high-capacity material handling in industrial, warehouse, and agricultural environments. Designed for demanding lifting applications, these forks provide the strength, durability, and dimensional consistency required for handling long pallets, bulky loads, and oversized materials with confidence.

Each fork features a 1 3/4-inch thick x 4-inch wide x 72-inch long blade with a standard taper that allows smooth pallet entry while maintaining strong load engagement and predictable control. The extended 72-inch length makes these forks especially useful in applications requiring additional reach without sacrificing structural integrity or safety.

Fork Design, Fitment, and Load Performance

The 2A 175-4-72 pallet forks are equipped with ITA Class 2A hooks and a locking pin to ensure secure attachment to compatible forklift carriages. This mounting system minimizes lateral and vertical movement during operation, improving operator control and reducing wear on both the forks and the carriage.

Manufactured from high-strength Cr40 alloy steel, these forks are produced using advanced automated and digitally controlled manufacturing processes to ensure precise dimensions, uniform blade geometry, and consistent quality across every matched pair. Additional material thickness is engineered into the fork heel, the highest stress point during lifting, significantly improving fatigue resistance and extending service life under repeated heavy-use conditions.

Manufacturing Standards, Safety, and Applications

Each fork undergoes dye penetrant testing prior to shipment to detect cracks or structural imperfections, ensuring dependable performance and long-term reliability. The forks are manufactured to ISO 2328 and ISO 2330 standards and comply with OSHA and ANSI B56 safety requirements, making them suitable for regulated work environments.

Rated at 6,000 pounds per pair at a 24-inch load center with a 3:1 safety factor, the 2A 175-4-72 pallet forks are built for demanding lifting tasks where safety and durability are critical. Sold only in matched pairs, these forks are ideal for material handling, warehousing, manufacturing, agricultural operations, and any application requiring extended-length forklift forks.
