SAS Forks

In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of auto salvage, equipment downtime is the ultimate profit killer. Yards need tools that don’t just tolerate brutal conditions but thrive in them. For over 50 years, SAS Forks has been answering that call consistently.

The story of SAS Forks started with firsthand experience. Founded in 1972 as a late-model auto salvage yard, the company was born out of a practical need for better tools. Recognizing that standard material handling attachments simply couldn’t withstand the daily abuse of moving multi-ton vehicles, the team began manufacturing their own solutions. What started with a foundational 15-foot long fork design in the 1970s soon evolved into Car Body and Crushing Forks in the 1980s, and eventually hydraulically operated engine pullers, grapples, and excavator-mounted processors today.

By transitioning from yard operators to elite heavy-duty attachment manufacturers, SAS Forks retained a critical edge: they know exactly what their customers face every single day.

Step into any productive modern scrap yard or recycling facility, and you will see their signature, highly patented innovations at work. Products like the SAS Extreme Auto Processor and the SAS Scorpion Engine Puller have fundamentally shifted how quickly vehicles can be dismantled and stripped for high-value materials. Meanwhile, their signature Long Forks completely solved a costly, industry-wide headache. Traditionally, lifting vehicles from the side ruined doors and crushed inventory. SAS Forks’ 15-to-18-foot front-loading designs protect body panels and components, preserving thousands of dollars in resale revenue per day for yard operators.

The secret to this relentless durability lies in the company’s rigorous engineering and manufacturing facility based in Luxemburg, Wisconsin. Rather than relying on generic, one-size-fits-all manufacturing, SAS Forks employs a dedicated team of engineers who perform exhaustive stress and fatigue analyses on every product.

Everything is engineered to be a direct, perfect fit. When a customer orders an attachment for their machine, it arrives configured to their exact quick-coupler or direct-pin specifications, eliminating field assembly headaches.

SAS Forks operates under a simple company mantra: Satisfaction After the Sale. Coupled with an on-site, fully stocked warehouse for rapid part replenishment, they guarantee that operations keep moving. For any operation looking to grab maximum revenue while driving down maintenance delays, SAS Forks remains the industry’s gold standard for attachments that are truly engineered tough.
