Tomahawk Attachment Pallet forks

[TGKY]

Does anyone have any feedback you can give on Tomahawk Attachments pallet forks?

I have heard that you can invert the forks on the mount to gain more height, but when I reached out to Tomahawk- they told me it was not doable.
I'm wondering if this is because they changed somthing, or just that they can't say it for liability purposes?

This is a feature I need for moving deer blinds. If I can be sure that the ones the are selling now can have it done, I'm a buyer.

Any input or experience is appreciated

hmm not too sure why/how you can't. I KNOW I can with my forklift and pretty sure the HLA pallets will.

What's the process for doing it? Sorry to ask a dumb question, I'm having trouble visualizing it?

slide the fork to the notch on the bottom rail,
securly grab the fork, rotate the fork (tip up...)
lift the fork.....

the 'fun' part..
turn fork upside down..
place on top rail
lower fork down,into btm rail notch
slide into position

one of those, yeah I 'should have figured that was how' things.....

Note: forks are NOT fixed ! They can move lefty-righty. I had a custom skid for the job I needed to use 'inverted'.

the only thing I can figure is the dont want to officially ok it for some kind of liability??? No clue otherwise

Thank you, One more thing that I did not know or would have even thought of, Thanks again.

I would guess it's liability. With them inverted you can now slide the load back onto the hood or onto the operator if you have no ROPS/FOPS.
