Description
Handling cars from front with SAS Forks will prevent damage:
- Move cars quickly and safely without causing damage.
- Reach suspensions to lift on solid components. 15′ SAS Forks when used properly will not damage undercarriages, drive shafts, transfer case, transmissions, fuel tanks, etc.
- Save hundreds of dollars per day by handling cars from the front with SAS FORKS by eliminating door damage and loss of this inventory revenue as a result from side lifting damage.
- Cars remain stable and are held from sliding sideways by fixed distance between forks.
- Fast moving is ensured to be safe with the exclusive Standard 15′ SAS FORKS proprietary design that does not bounce. This is essential for moving cars and light trucks across rough and unpredictable terrain to ensure cars don’t flip off the forks.
- Protect revenue and front end components with SAS Bumpers.
Visibility of operator is provided with our see thru carriage for safety.
Quick entry under cars is provided with standard 3″ vertical blades which have 60% less chance hitting under chassis components than typical 8″ wide forks, resulting in less chance of pushing this car into the next one.
Lowest initial entry height is available with optional 6″ flat blades and more side rigidity when articulating the loader. Width of the blade does not affect vehicle stability.
Proven design:
- Warranty: 1 year limited warranty on assembly with 3 years on standard 3″ x 5″ x 15.5′ blades.
- Replaceable skid pads on fork tips and carriage. Replaceable blades, usually 1 to 2 hours
Best suited for:
- 26,000 lbs. curb weight wheel loader minimum.
- Forklift with a load capacity of 14,000 lbs. at 2 feet or greater.

“If you are going to buy, go with the best! We have used SAS FORKS for many years and have been very pleased. There is no other choice!”
Gary, ABC U Pull, FL –
In the past we handled all our cars from the side. We were continuously damaging doors from this side loading. Locally, we actually become known for not having any good doors. Once we purchased long SAS FORKS that allowed us to lift cars from the front, we could sell good doors. With long 15′ SAS FORKS we can handle cars and trucks without any door damage.
Grant, Phil’s Auto Parts, MI –
We just received the forks yesterday, and love them.

We are very happy with our 15′ SAS FORKS. We bought them 20 years ago and they are still going great!
Gordon, VS Truck Works, Canada –
We’ve had the long SAS FORKS since 2015. They still look new. Awesome forks! Very impressive! We were initially concerned if the forks would fit, due to SAS had us complete some measurements on our quick coupler. The forks fit absolutely perfect!

10/14/2019: Back in 2003 we purchased 15′ SAS Forks and 6′ SAS Crushing Forks for our John Deere 644H. The SAS Forks outlasted the machine! We changed the quick coupler brackets and now us the same SAS Forks on Case 821! I’m calling today to get information for a new set for another machine.
10/2/2020: After using SAS Forks since 2003, the same SAS Forks are still in service on the Case 821, we purchased new 15′ SAS Forks with our new Case 721GXT. These are heavy forks and get used all day long.

we had 2 sets. One set on our cat I believe we got in 2002 and never had a problem with them. Our other set is on a new L90. Never a problem with them either.
The only thing you ever hear abut SAS is how great of a company they are.

I work for one of the busiest impounds in the US so our equipment runs 24/7 365. We have 3 sets of SAS Long Forks and they get tested to the limits. The fact that the tines and the wear pads are all serviceable is key to keep them in service. There are other brands out there but they don’t have that serviceability. Mark in sales has been great. He assist in figuring out what we need for our applications, so when our forks show up, they’re ready ti install and put to work. We have been completely satisfied with SAS, and we’re getting ready to place another order.
