ITA Class 2 Forklift Rail Built to Industry Standards

The 2AT60 top carriage bar is manufactured to match standard ITA Class II fork geometry, helping ensure accurate fork positioning and dependable fork retention when installed within a properly constructed carriage assembly.

Maintaining proper ITA carriage geometry is critical for:

• stable fork engagement
• consistent load distribution
• reduced fork movement
• improved lifting control
• long-term component durability
• safe material handling performance

The 2AT60 includes pre-cut fork lock notches that allow forks to seat properly and engage securely during lifting operations.

These precision-cut lock locations help:

• stabilize fork positioning
• reduce unwanted fork travel
• improve load control
• maintain proper fork alignment

In heavy-duty lifting applications, even small alignment inconsistencies can negatively affect:

• fork retention
• lifting stability
• carriage wear
• operator safety
• long-term equipment reliability

The 2AT60 is engineered to help maintain proper Class 2 carriage performance under demanding work conditions.

Industry-Standard 20-Degree Chamfer Design

The raised upper section of the 2AT60 features an industry-standard 20-degree chamfer designed to support smooth fork installation and proper seating along the carriage surface.

This chamfered profile helps:

• improve fork hook engagement
• allow smooth fork positioning
• reduce installation friction
• maintain proper fork seating
• minimize excessive hook wear

Correct top rail geometry is essential for achieving consistent fork engagement across the full carriage width.

When paired with a properly aligned lower carriage rail, the 2AT60 forms the upper support structure of a complete ITA Class 2 pallet fork system.

60-Inch Length for Wide Fork Frame Fabrication

With a full 60-inch length, the 2AT60 top carriage bar is ideal for wider skid steer and tractor pallet fork frames requiring increased structural span and wider fork positioning options.

This extended width provides:

• improved load distribution
• increased carriage stability
• wider fork spacing flexibility
• support for oversized materials
• enhanced material handling versatility

The 2AT60 is commonly used for:

• high-capacity skid steer fork frames
• tractor loader pallet fork attachments
• custom fabricated fork systems
• forklift carriage rebuilds
• material handling equipment fabrication
• carriage rail replacement upgrades

For operators handling oversized pallets, agricultural supplies, lumber, fencing materials, or industrial products, wider pallet fork frames improve lifting flexibility and load control.

Weld-In Installation for Fabrication & Repair Applications

The 2AT60 is designed specifically for weld-in installation, allowing fabricators and equipment builders to integrate the rail directly into new or existing fork carriage systems.

This makes the rail ideal for:

• OEM attachment manufacturing
• custom fabrication projects
• pallet fork frame repair
• agricultural attachment builds
• heavy-duty loader systems
• industrial carriage upgrades

The weld-in configuration allows fabricators to customize:

• carriage width
• fork spacing
• frame geometry
• attachment integration
• structural reinforcement

For a complete ITA Class 2 carriage system, the 2AT60 is commonly paired with the:

• 2AB60 Bottom Carriage Bar

Together, the upper and lower rails create a properly aligned support structure designed for dependable pallet fork performance.

Structural Support for Heavy-Duty Material Handling

A properly engineered top carriage rail plays a major role in overall fork frame stability and lifting performance.

The 2AT60 is designed to provide:

• consistent structural support
• stable fork engagement
• accurate load positioning
• even load distribution
• reduced frame stress
• dependable lifting performance

This becomes especially important during repeated lifting cycles involving:

• palletized agricultural products
• lumber bundles
• construction materials
• feed and seed pallets
• industrial equipment
• fencing supplies
• warehouse inventory
• heavy commercial loads

The reinforced steel design helps maintain dimensional stability under demanding working conditions while supporting long-term carriage durability.
