About this product
📘 Overview
Haugen mini skid steer forks are rail style mini skid steer pallet forks built for mini and compact machines — a 36" wide rail frame with 42" tines rated 2,200 lbs. Three mounts covering the machines that matter: Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT 55/85, and compact skid steers.
Tines are 1.18" x 3" x 42", and the rail lets them adjust to any pallet width.

Mini skid steers do not share a single attachment standard the way full-size machines do. Haugen makes three mounts to cover the common ones:
- MPF-T42 — Toro Dingo. The universal mini mount fitting most machines on the Dingo-style interface, so these work as dingo forks on that platform.
- MPF-MT42 — Bobcat MT 55/85. Bobcat's mini track loaders use their own mount.
- HPF-C42 — compact skid steer. For compact machines running the larger plate, at 220 lbs.
The mounts are not interchangeable and a mini fork on the wrong plate will not fit at all, so identify your machine's interface first.
⚖ 2,200 lbs Is More Than Most Minis Can Lift
The forks are rated 2,200 lbs, which comfortably exceeds the rated operating capacity of most mini skid steers. In practice your machine is the limit, not the fork — which is the right way round, and means you are not working the attachment near its rating.
At 182 to 220 lbs the frame itself is light enough to leave most of your machine's capacity available for the load.
📏 Rail Style on a Mini
The 36" rail lets the tines slide and lock anywhere along it, so you set the spread to each pallet rather than accepting fixed positions. On a mini skid steer working in tight spaces — greenhouses, back gardens, inside buildings — being able to narrow the tines to the load matters more than it does on a full-size machine.
🚜 Mini Skid Steer Mounts
Three mounts: Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT 55/85, and compact skid steer. Identify your machine's attachment interface and order the matching mount — they are not interchangeable.
182 to 220 lbs. Rated 2,200 lbs, which is above what most mini skid steers can lift, so work from your machine's rated operating capacity.
❓ Mini Skid Steer Forks FAQs
Which mount do I need?
MPF-T42 for Toro Dingo and most mini skid steers using that interface, MPF-MT42 for Bobcat MT 55/85, HPF-C42 for compact skid steers on the larger plate. They are not interchangeable.
How much can they lift?
The forks are rated 2,200 lbs, which is more than most mini skid steers can lift. Your machine's rated operating capacity is the practical limit.
What tine length do I get?
42", in a 1.18" x 3" section, on all three mounts.
What does rail style mean?
The tines slide along a rail and lock wherever you set them, so you can match the spread to each pallet instead of using fixed positions. Useful on a mini working in confined spaces.
How are these different from full-size skid steer forks?
A 36" frame against 45" or 60", 42" tines against 48" to 72", and mini-specific mounts rather than universal quick attach. They are sized for the machines rather than being cut-down versions.
What do they weigh?
182 lbs on the Dingo and Bobcat MT mounts, 220 lbs on the compact skid steer version.
