I do have slip on pallet forks for my tractor loader.  The bucket is 
rated for 750lbs, easily manages 1000s, and can tilt back 1500-2000 
after the main hydraulics are fully loaded.  I unloaded my 1440 lathe 
and my 48" Tennsmith brake with it using that last method.  Full load 
the main hydraulic, and then tilt back the bucket tilt hydraulic.  The 
tractor is to big to maneuver in the shop.  Usually I can lift off a 
piece of equipment and tote it around the shop on the pallet jack.  It 
also doesn't really reach high enough for putting stuff up high in the 
shop (16ft eve height).
