Q&A
Q: What is the Blue Diamond Nursery Fork — 114092 (Standard & Severe Duty)?
A: A skid steer attachment designed to lift and transport trees, shrubs, and large root balls with care. It comes in both a standard version and a more rugged severe duty version for tougher jobs.
Q: How does it operate?
A: The fork tines slide under the root ball or base of the plant; then you lift and carry it to the desired location, minimizing root disturbance.

A: Yes — the severe duty version offers reinforced steel, stronger tines, and more robust framing to handle heavier or more frequent use.
Q: What tree sizes or root diameters can it handle?
A: Designed to handle common container sizes and field-grown stock; its capacity depends on the skid steer’s lift capacity and how far the forks can penetrate without damaging roots.
Q: What equipment is it compatible with?
