Fourches pour tracteur BlackStone - Catalogue produits 2026

BlackStone tractor forks are implements designed for handling round bales, pallets and other loads used on farms, livestock holdings and in rural storage facilities. BlackStone develops, imports and distributes machinery and equipment for agriculture, gardening, construction and transport throughout Europe. Over the years, the brand has expanded its catalogue to serve both hobbyists and professional operators. The range available at AgriEuro includes two product families, distinguished by the load structure and gripping method:

• BlackStone round bale handlers: they use one or more tines to pierce the bale and support it during lifting. They are suitable for moving bales, round bales and hay bales between the field, trailer and storage area.
• BlackStone tractor pallet forks: they feature two forks designed to lift compatible pallets, platforms and containers from underneath. They allow the tractor’s linkage to be used for loading, unloading and transport operations around the farm.

BlackStone focuses on functional structures, a balanced quality-to-price ratio and equipment selected for the European market. The brand also offers an after-sales service with spare parts and dedicated support.

At AgriEuro, BlackStone tractor forks can be selected according to their main technical features, helping users identify the equipment best suited to the tractor, load and frequency of work. Before choosing a model, the fork specifications must be compared with those stated in the tractor and linkage manuals.

• Load type: round bale handlers support forage by means of tines that pierce the bale. Pallet forks work underneath pallets and platforms, so they require properly supported loads that are compatible with the distance between the forks;
• Load capacity: this indicates the maximum weight permitted for the individual implement under the conditions specified by the manufacturer. The operating limit must also respect the tractor’s lifting capacity, taking into account the weight of the fork and the position of the centre of gravity;
• Connection system: several models are designed for connection to the tractor linkage through a three-point hitch. The category, pin diameter and coupling dimensions must match the specifications of the agricultural vehicle;
• Structure and weight: the frame, welds, tines and forks contribute to the implement’s strength. Its own weight bears on the linkage and must be deducted from the total capacity available for the load;
• Dimensions of the gripping components: the length and arrangement of the tines affect how round bales are held. On pallet forks, the length and spacing of the arms must be suitable for the pallets and materials being handled;
• Operating conditions: slope, ground regularity, manoeuvring space and load height affect the stability of the tractor-implement assembly. During travel, the load must be kept low and manoeuvres must be slow and progressive.

Models intended for hobby use are suitable for occasional jobs, such as the seasonal handling of round bales or pallets. For more frequent professional work, load capacity, strength, compatibility and expected intensity must be assessed carefully without exceeding the limits stated in the manuals.

The two BlackStone types meet different handling requirements and are not interchangeable. The nature of the load determines the shape of the gripping component and the lifting method. Load capacity, hitch and tractor capability remain parameters that must be checked for both product families.

BlackStone round bale handlers are designed to lift and transport cylindrical bales, hay bales and other agricultural loads compatible with the instructions for the individual model. The tines pierce the material and distribute its weight across the frame connected to the tractor. This configuration is used during harvesting, transport from the field, trailer loading and placement in storage areas. The choice must take into account bale weight and diameter, the number and length of the tines, the rated capacity and the linkage’s lifting capacity. The weight of the frame must also be checked, as it is added to that of the round bale. The load changes the tractor’s centre of gravity and requires low speed, smooth paths and particular care on sloping ground. Tines, welds, pins and connections must be inspected before work and maintained according to the manual.

• Gripping tines: they must enter the round bale in the correct position and be free from deformation. Their length, number and spacing vary between models and must suit the dimensions of the load;
• Tractor hitch: the frame must connect to the specified points without makeshift modifications. Pins, arms and top link must be secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions;
• Handling: the round bale must be lifted individually when the equipment does not provide for other configurations. During transport, it must be kept close to the ground to limit the rise of the centre of gravity.

BlackStone tractor pallet forks are designed to handle pallets, platforms and containers equipped with compatible lifting points. The tractor supplies the lifting capacity through its own system, becoming an operating support for work in yards, agricultural warehouses and loading areas. Both forks must enter completely beneath the pallet and support the weight evenly. Before purchase, users must compare load capacity, arm length, fork spacing, implement weight and hitch category. The depth of the load also affects the centre of gravity and the actual capacity of the linkage. An overhanging or poorly distributed pallet can reduce stability during turns and braking. Operations require suitable surfaces, low speed and adequate visibility of both the implement and the route.

• Pallet compatibility: the forks must enter the openings without striking cross-members or structural parts. The load must rest on both arms and remain evenly distributed;
• Lifting capacity: the fork capacity does not replace the tractor linkage limit. The actual operating value always corresponds to the lowest limit among the implement, tractor and permitted conditions;
• Structural inspection: the arms, frame, welds and connection points must be free from cracks, bending or abnormal wear. Any damage requires work to stop and a technical inspection before the equipment is used again.

Buying from AgriEuro makes it possible to compare BlackStone tractor forks using product descriptions, technical specifications and demonstration materials. Dedicated services support the product from shipping through to subsequent requests for assistance and spare parts.

• Fast, free delivery: orders are prepared and dispatched directly from AgriEuro’s logistics centres. The internal organisation allows every stage of the preparation and delivery of available equipment to be tracked accurately;
• Option to order spare parts: spare parts remain available and can be identified through the exploded parts diagram associated with the purchased product. This system makes it easier to identify the correct component even long after the order;
• After-sales support: the service offers attentive, personalised support for technical enquiries, spare parts and repairs. The AgriEuro network includes the central workshop and numerous service centres throughout the country.

The choice starts with the type of load: round bales require handlers equipped with tines, whereas pallets and platforms require pallet forks. Load capacity, implement weight, gripping component dimensions, hitch category and tractor lifting capacity must then be compared.

Compatibility depends on the three-point hitch category, pin dimensions and the vehicle’s lifting capacity. These specifications must be compared with the fork data sheet and the tractor manual, including the implement’s own weight.

No, fork capacity and linkage lifting capacity are separate limits. The weight being handled must respect the lower value, also taking into account the implement weight and the distance of the load from the connection points.

A round bale handler uses tines that pierce the bale; a pallet fork supports the load from underneath. The first type is intended for hay and round bales, whereas the second is intended for pallets, platforms and containers designed for fork entry.

Yes, the weight of the fork bears on the linkage together with the transported material. To determine the permitted load, the implement mass must therefore be deducted and the axle, tyre and linkage limits stated by the tractor manufacturer must be respected.

The load must be kept as low as possible during travel without touching the ground. Low speed, wide and progressive turns, smooth routes and particular caution on slopes or uneven surfaces are required.

Tines, forks, welds, pins, bolts and hitch points must be checked before each use. Cracks, deformation, loose components or abnormal wear require operations to stop until the equipment has been restored as specified in the manual.

No, the pallet must have openings compatible with the dimensions and spacing of the forks, as well as a structure suitable for the transported weight. The load must rest on both arms without overhangs or uneven distribution that could compromise balance.

Simultaneous handling is permitted only when the manufacturer expressly allows it for that configuration. In the absence of specific instructions, each round bale must be moved individually in compliance with the model’s capacity and operating instructions.

Maintenance includes cleaning, checking fasteners, inspecting welds and examining the gripping components. Service intervals, lubrication and any replacements must follow the specific manual, as requirements may vary between BlackStone models.
