The Star Industries F175X4X72CL2 ITA Replacement Forks are heavy-duty clip-mount forklift forks engineered for warehouse and industrial forklift applications that demand a longer 72" fork length with increased thickness of 1.75" for handling heavier or deeper loads. As ITA clip-mount forks, they attach to Class 2 ITA fork carriages via the standardised hook and pin mounting system — the most widely used carriage interface on warehouse forklifts across North America and beyond — making the F175X4X72 CL2 a direct, standards-compliant replacement for a broad range of forklift equipment. The step up from 1.5" to 1.75" fork thickness at this 72" length provides additional rigidity and rated capacity to handle the increased bending moment that a longer fork generates under load, making this a particularly important specification consideration for operators handling deep or heavy palletised loads. Available fully tapered and polished by adding the FTP suffix to the part number (F175X4X72CL2FTP) for smoother pallet board engagement and reduced load damage.

Star Industries' manufacturing process for ITA replacement forks is built on five non-negotiable quality commitments that set them apart from commodity fork alternatives. Every fork begins as a single piece of steel — forged, not fabricated or welded from multiple components — then fully heat-treated, quenched, and tempered to achieve a minimum yield strength of 825 MPa. This single-piece forged construction eliminates the structural weak points that multi-piece or fabricated forks carry inherently, and the heat treatment process ensures that strength is consistent throughout the fork body rather than concentrated at surface level only. All welding processes on the production line are certified to ISO 3834-2, and every fork heel and all welds undergo full Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) crack-testing performed by certificated operatives — providing documented assurance that no subsurface defects leave the production facility undetected.

Complete part traceability is stamped directly onto every fork at the point of manufacture — including manufacturer identification, specified capacity and load centre, week of manufacture, and production works order number — giving operators, safety managers, and compliance teams full accountability across the fork's entire working life. All Star Industries ITA replacement forks are guaranteed to meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 2328, ISO 2330, and ANSI ITSDF B56.11.4 with respect to mounting details, load, fatigue, and impact performance. For forklift fleet operators who require certified, traceable, long-fork replacements for Class 2 ITA carriages, the F175X4X72 CL2 is the dependable, standards-compliant choice. Proudly manufactured to the highest international safety and quality standards by Star Industries since 1982.

• 1.75" Fork Thickness for Extended Length Performance — Increased thickness over the 1.5" models provides the additional rigidity and rated bending strength needed for a 72" fork operating under load.
• 72" Fork Length — Extended length ideal for handling deeper loads, long pallets, and applications where standard 48" forks cannot safely reach or support the full load depth.
• Single-Piece Forged Steel Construction — Each fork is forged from one solid piece of steel — no welds, no fabrication joints — eliminating structural weak points for maximum strength and long-term reliability.
• Full Heat Treatment, Quench & Temper — Every fork is fully heat-treated, quenched, and tempered to a minimum yield strength of 825 MPa for consistent, certified structural performance throughout the fork body.
• ISO 3834-2 Certified Welding Processes — All welding operations on the production line are certified to ISO 3834-2 for internationally recognised weld quality and consistency.
• Full MPI Crack-Testing on All Welds & Heel Area — Every fork undergoes Magnetic Particle Inspection crack-testing on all welds and the critical heel area, performed by certificated operatives for documented defect-free assurance.
• Full Part Traceability — Each fork is stamped with manufacturer ID, specified capacity, load centre, week of manufacture, and production works order number for complete lifecycle accountability.
• ISO 2328 & ISO 2330 Compliant — Guaranteed to meet or exceed international standards for forklift fork mounting details, load testing, fatigue testing, and impact testing.
• ANSI ITSDF B56.11.4 Compliant — Meets or exceeds the relevant US national standard for forklift fork safety, performance, and testing requirements.
• ITA / Clip-Mount Design — Standard hook and pin mounting system ideal for warehouse forklifts; compatible with Class 2 ITA fork carriages for straightforward installation and replacement.
• Class 2 Carriage Compatibility — Sized and mounted for Class 2 ITA forklift carriages covering a wide range of warehouse and industrial forklift equipment.
• Available Fully Tapered & Polished (FTP) — Order with the FTP suffix (F175X4X72CL2FTP) for fully tapered and polished forks offering smoother pallet engagement and reduced pallet board damage.
• Stamped Capacity & Load Centre — Clearly stamped on every fork for on-equipment compliance reference during daily operation and scheduled safety inspections.
