Fork frames are built with strength in mind from a box section construction to take the tine style you require. Popular tine styles include the Kvernaland style tapered tine or Conus 2 bush. Some users prefer fixed welded in place hard wearing, Hardox style tines.
There are a wide number of options that can be considered with both the Muck Forks, Silage forks and muck grabs. The middle section can be plated to protect the machines head stock.
Where heavy usage is planned or the equipment will operate in extreme / harsh environments the whole fork back can be plated.
If you are looking for improved visibility then visibility slots can be cut out. For that completely personalised approach your company name can be cut out or fabricated onto the frame.

What’s the difference
Muck forks, muck grabs, and silage forks are all loader attachments that are designed for handling different types of materials, and they have some differences in their design and function.
- Muck forks: Muck forks are designed for handling loose materials such as manure, soil, gravel, and debris. They typically have straight, pointed tines that penetrate into the material being handled, allowing it to be picked up and transported. Muck forks often have a curved design that helps to prevent materials from slipping off during transport.
- Muck grabs: Muck grabs are similar to muck forks in that they are designed for handling loose materials, but they have a different design that allows them to grasp and secure the material more tightly. Muck grabs typically have two hinged arms with teeth or claws that close together to grab the material. They are often used for handling materials such as manure, compost, and demolition debris.
- Silage forks: Silage forks are designed specifically for handling silage, which is a type of fermented grass or corn used for animal feed. Silage forks typically have wider tines than muck forks, which allows them to handle larger volumes of material. The tines are often curved or angled to help prevent damage to the silage and to ensure that it is loaded and transported without being compressed too tightly.
In summary, muck forks are designed for handling loose materials such as soil and gravel, muck grabs are designed for handling loose materials that can be grasped and secured more tightly, and silage forks are designed specifically for handling silage. Each of these loader attachments has its own unique design and function that is optimized for the specific material being handled.
