About this product
📘 Overview
Skid steer rotating forks that clamp the load. The EZ Spot UR Clamping Fork Tool (EZ-1015) is a rotating fork attachment with one hydraulic clamping arm and one fixed arm, so a square container is gripped securely and then rotated and emptied — not just carried. It accommodates containers up to 52 inches, closing to 26.25 inches, and is rated to 3,130 lb with forks fitted or 1,500 lb without. On the Double Cylinder Rotating Base it turns 117 degrees to the operator’s left. Choose 42", 48" or 60" Class 2 forks to match the containers you handle, and the base that suits your work.
⚙ Key Features of the Clamping Fork Tool
- Hydraulic clamping arm plus fixed arm — the container is held, not balanced, so it can be rotated and emptied without falling off the forks.
- Rated 3,130 lb with forks on the rotating base, or 1,500 lb without forks.
- Handles containers from 26.25" to 52".
- One 2" x 6" clamp cylinder with 9,425 lb of breakout force grips the container.
- Rotates 117 degrees to the operator’s left on the Double Cylinder Rotating Base.
- Three Class 2 fork lengths — 42, 48 and 60 inches.
- Grade 50 material or higher, core welded, with Grade 8 bolts.
- Ships complete with hoses, flush-faced couplers, spring hose mount and wiring harness.
🔑 Why Operators Choose the Clamping Fork Tool
- Empties a bin in one movement — clamp, lift, rotate, pour, without a second person steadying the container.
- Turns a skid steer into a container tipper for recycling, harvest, aggregate and waste work.
- Holds odd containers securely — the clamping arm adapts to anything between 26.25 and 52 inches.
- Still works as a fork tool — 1,500 lb rated without forks, 3,130 lb with them.
- Shares a base with your other EZ Spot UR heads.

- Attachment Base — this decides whether the tool can tip a container or only carry it. Double Cylinder Rotating Base gives 127 degrees of powered rotation to the operator’s left; Fixed Non-Rotating Base has no moving parts to maintain and indexes manually through 90 degrees; No Attachment Base supplies the tool head alone, for operators who already run an EZ Spot UR base. It is also the option to choose if you are replacing a worn tool head, or adding a second tool head to a base you already own — every EZ Spot UR head with a 3" square receiver swaps onto the same shaft with one 3/4" pin.
- Fork Length — 42" Class 2 Forks for smaller containers and tight spaces; 48" Class 2 Forks as the general-purpose length; 60" Class 2 Forks for large bins.
🚜 Which Machines Take This Skid Steer Rotating Forks?
The Clamping Fork Tool attaches to skid steer loaders and compact track loaders equipped with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
The machine must supply 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through an auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings. Your working limit is your machine’s rated operating capacity minus the 1,166 lb weight of the attachment with its base.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration and auxiliary hydraulic flow before ordering. Everything needed to confirm fitment is on this page — add it to your cart to check delivered pricing for your address.
Freight note: inspect the crate before signing the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Note any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery — that record is what supports a carrier claim.
❓ Clamping Fork Tool Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the Clamping Fork Tool and the Fork Tool?
The Clamping Fork Tool has a hydraulic clamping arm working against a fixed arm, so a container is gripped and can be rotated and emptied without coming off the forks. The Fork Tool has no clamping arm; it carries the load on the forks alone and is rated higher at 6,000 lb. Choose the Clamping Fork Tool for emptying containers, the Fork Tool for lifting and stacking.
What size containers will the Clamping Fork Tool hold?
The Clamping Fork Tool accommodates containers between 26.25 inches closed and 52 inches open, gripped by a single 2" x 6" hydraulic cylinder developing 9,425 lb of breakout force.
Why does the Clamping Fork Tool rotate 117 degrees rather than 127?
EZ Spot UR publishes 117 degrees for the Clamping Fork Tool specifically, on the same Double Cylinder Rotating Base that gives 127 degrees with other tool heads. The figure is stated on both the Clamping Fork Tool specification sheet and its technical documentation.
Which fork length should I order?
Match the fork length to the containers you handle. 42 inch Class 2 forks suit smaller bins and tight spaces, 48 inch is the general-purpose choice, and 60 inch supports large or deep containers safely.
Which attachment base should I choose?
The Double Cylinder Rotating Base powers the Clamping Fork Tool through 117 degrees to the operator’s left, which is what lets you position a load rather than simply carry it. The Fixed Non-Rotating Base does not rotate under power, has no moving parts to maintain, and can be indexed manually through 90 degrees. Choose No Attachment Base only if you already own an EZ Spot UR base with a 2.94" square shaft.
What hydraulic flow does the Clamping Fork Tool need?
The Clamping Fork Tool runs on 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through a standard auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings rated to a 15 ksi burst pressure. A high-flow machine is not required.
How is the Clamping Fork Tool shipped?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the Clamping Fork Tool to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the freight charge is displayed before you complete the order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
