Quicke C1140 Compact Pallet Fork + The Basics: Loader Lifting Capacity Demonstration
Overview
This is a hands-on lifting-capacity demo on a Massey Ferguson GC1725 loader, comparing the lightweight Quicke C1140 compact pallet forks (283 lb) against heavier walk-through forks (390 lb), using boxed wheel weights as test loads. It shows real front-end lift-offs at idle vs PTO speed, explains how fork reach and implement weight cut capacity, and stresses ballasting. Useful for buyers wanting concrete numbers on loader math rather than a spec sheet.
