A Universal Skid Steer (SSL) plate has two hook-shaped tabs across the top edge and a wedge or levers that clamp in at the bottom. See that, and these forks fit. Almost every full-size skid steer built since the 1970s uses this plate — the only common exception is a mini skid steer, which uses a smaller, different plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you can actually lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fork frame weighs \u003cstrong\u003eabout 450 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e by itself.
