I keep my heavy generator in the house. Would like to use clamp on forks and a pallet to lower generator out the door and down over a few steps when needed. I dont want to remove the pirannah bar though. Using a ramp I built is a bear to pull generator back up to put it away. Thanks for input.

I use mine over the Piranha all the time. Guess it depends on your clamp on forks

I got a set of Titan Clamp-On's this spring. Only had them on once - but they did work on the ends where the Piranha Bar has a gap for their own forks. Loader came off to mow - so only used them short bit.

If you needed the forks in a different spot, you could cut a couple teeth off with an angle grinder.

Some clamp on's have a wider gap/bucket depth than others - so like bearskinner said need to check.

I used a Sawzall and 4" grinder to cut two teeth slightly for mine. They work perfectly for me. They did fit on without it but I wanted as much contact surface on the tooth as possible. It was a quick mod.

As others say, it depends on which forks and which toothbar you have. With mine, the toothbar is heavy enough that it adds quite a bit of reinforcement to the bottom lip of the bucket and helps protect it from bending under some heavy lifts.
