A full rotating pallet fork clamp is a versatile forklift attachment that combines three primary functions: clamping (squeezing loads like bales or crates), positioning (hydraulically adjusting fork width for different pallets), and 360° rotation (for emptying bins or inverting loads).
Below are the typical technical specifications for these units, categorized by industry-standard mounting classes.

Key Features & Components
Hydraulic Requirements.
Oil Functions: Typically requires two additional hydraulic circuits (one for the clamping/positioning and one for the rotation).
Operating Pressure: Usually rated for 2,000 to 2,500 PSI (approx. 140–170 bar).
Flow Rate: Recommended between 25 – 45 L/min (approx. 7–12 GPM) depending on unit size.
Physical Design
High-Visibility Frame: Modern units use “E-profile” aluminum or high-strength steel frames with cutouts so the driver can see the fork tips.
Replaceable Wear Strips: Located on the bottom of the frame to prevent damage during ground contact.
Rotator Unit: Uses a heavy-duty worm-and-ring gear drive, often with a clutch brake to hold the load securely during a 90° or 180° tilt.
Versatile Arm Options
Bolt-on Forks: Standard for handling pallets; can be swapped for specialized arms.
Slip-on Pads: Rubber or metal pads can be slipped over the forks to turn the unit into a bale clamp or drum handler without removing the forks.
Usage Considerations
IMPORTANT
Capacity De-rating: Adding a rotating clamp significantly reduces your forklift’s net lifting capacity. You must account for the Lost Load Center (Effective Thickness) and the Unit Weight. Always check your forklift’s updated data plate before operation.
