DESCRIPTION
The Virnig Wide Rail Pallet Fork: Hex-Guard Series is engineered for operators who demand stability, durability, and precision when handling heavy pallets, lumber, pipe, construction materials, job-site supplies, and agricultural loads. Designed specifically for universal skid steer quick-tach systems, this attachment features a wider, reinforced rail that dramatically improves load control especially when moving tall, bulky, or uneven items.
Whether you're working in construction, farming, industrial yards, material handling, or landscaping, the Hex-Guard Wide Rail Pallet Fork delivers the strength and reliability you need day after day. With multiple tine sizes and lifting capacities up to 6,200 lb, it’s built to outperform typical pallet forks while giving operators superior visibility, confidence, and versatility.
This attachment requires no hydraulic power, making it compatible with virtually every skid steer new or old. And per manufacturer standards, we include the standardized spec note: Hydraulic Flow Range 15–25 GPM (not required for operation).
If you need a tougher fork, a more stable load position, and smoother material handling, this Virnig Hex-Guard model is the workhorse that keeps your operations moving.
