2 year update: This is a great pice of kit. For the price I was afraid that welds would give out or some other problem would come up due to cheap metal being used but this is not the case. This fork lifts as well today as it did on day one and looks like it will last a lifetime. I was quoted more than double the price for a local shop to provide one of these so it has been a real bargain.Originl: I bought this to go on the back of a small tractor. It is rated for 1000 kg and I have tested it to that limit and slightly beyond. I lifted an IBC container full of 1000l of water (equals 1000 kg) plus the weight of the container and metal surround. No issues and no stress on the forks. So all is good.
