9048-UHD 9,000 lb Class 3 Pallet Fork Frame

The 9048-UHD 9,000 lb Class 3 pallet fork frame is an AG-GO attachment built for dense pallets and demanding work in quarries, construction yards, industrial facilities, and large farm operations. Its reinforced structure and ITA Class 3 carriage are intended for properly matched heavy duty forks. The frame alone weighs approximately 445 lb. Select a compatible fork configuration and confirm that the carrier can handle the frame, forks, and actual load at the required height and load center.

Reinforced Frame for Dense Materials

Stone products, steel bundles, machinery components, bulk feed, and palletized building supplies put different demands on a fork attachment. The 9048-UHD provides a reinforced carriage for positioning Class 3 forks under these loads. Its upper and lower rails must engage the fork hooks correctly, and each fork lock must hold its selected position. The frame’s strength does not compensate for an improperly supported pallet or uneven fork placement.

This frame may be useful when repeated heavy handling makes a lower rated attachment unsuitable. In a quarry, it can move properly palletized stone or supplies within the machine’s approved operating limits. On a construction site, it can help stage bundles of material near the work area. On a farm or at an industrial yard, it can handle heavy feed, seed, or equipment pallets when their weight and dimensions are known. Each job still calls for suitable forks and enough clearance to maneuver without striking nearby material.

A walk-through opening provides a route for cab access on compatible skid steers and a view through the carriage toward the fork tips. The related 9048 frame design also uses a slip-resistant step and a reinforced coupler area. Inspect the step, coupler, rail notches, fork locks, and frame before putting the attachment to work. AG-GO builds the frame in the United States at PRO-Link’s production facility.

Class 3 Forks and the Real Lifting Limit

The 9048-UHD uses ITA Class 3 rails for compatible Class 3A hook forks. Fork length, width, thickness, hook geometry, and lock style all matter. A Class 2 fork is a different mounting size. The PRO-Link listing offers frame only and selectable fork lengths of 42 inch, 48 inch, 60 inch, 72 inch, and 96 inch. Confirm the exact forks and their published pair rating for the chosen option. The PRO-Link pallet fork guide explains how fork class and load center affect selection.

The frame’s rating is 9,000 lb. A fork pair rated at 10,000 lb does not turn it into a 10,000 lb attachment. The working limit is the lowest applicable rating among the frame, forks, coupler, carrier, and any other load-bearing component. Long forks or a load positioned far forward can reduce the carrier’s usable capacity. Check the machine’s approved information for the actual load weight, center of gravity, and lift height.

Verify that the machine has the correct coupler and enough rated capacity for the frame’s own weight as well as the material being lifted. Check all mounting locks after attachment. For other ratings and machine mounting choices, compare the AG-GO pallet fork frame range. The 9048-UHD is covered by PRO-Link’s one year limited warranty against manufacturer defects, subject to its terms.

Questions & Answers

What is the 9048-UHD frame rated to lift?

Its published frame rating is 9,000 lb. The complete setup may have a lower allowable limit based on its forks, machine, coupler, or load position.

Will any Class 3 pallet forks fit?

Confirm the Class 3A hook profile, upper and lower rail engagement, fork lock operation, and selected fork dimensions before ordering or operating.

Does the listing include the forks?

The product page offers a frame-only choice and several fork-length options. Check the selected configuration to confirm what is included.
