If you buy one of these used be aware that the central bearing can be worn and replacement bearing can cost up to £750 and not an easy replacement task. Also I have know for water to ingress into the gearbox when kept outside. Good luck.

Oh right I hadn’t heard of this , I’ve found some of the rotating pallet forks on eBay from the link above, I don’t believe they work off a central bearing looking at that type one. But either way I don’t want to spend 3-4-5 k on one. There’s new ones on eBay from broadwater but they are still best part of 3k. Rob

I expect you've looked into it but if you've got a smaller loader be aware that the rotator will weigh a lot on it's own and shift the weight forwards.

 

I'll try and see what make ours is later, it's pretty old, around 1990 I guess, but we paid 2k for it 5 years ago and no issues yet

Hi there Gdh. Yes I understand weights but mine is a old jcb 406 which picks up 1.5 ton ish so I reckon rotator about 500kgs max ? And crate of logs 400-500kgs max when dry ? I’ve luckily just found a forklift with rotating forks on it ready to go so bought the whole outfit
