Abstract
The present invention is a skid-steer attachment device with a load bearing D-ring for securing loads to the attachment device. A number of different attachment devices can be attached to a skid-steer loader, however, the preferred attachment device in this invention is a pallet fork carriage. The load securing D-ring is attached to the pallet fork carriage of the skid-steer so that loads can be secured to the D-ring by tying, strapping, or otherwise attaching the load to the D-ring. The D-ring on the pallet fork carriage functions to prevent a skid-steer loader's load from becoming dislodged prematurely.
