This 2t claw is big it can handle any pallet plus it opens very wide so you can grab other objects besides pallets.If you are a truck driver and just need it to use occasionally 1ton will be enough. 2t is huge and heavy.
I used this to install artificial turf. It was used turf that came from a football field. It was very, very heavy. This item made it a lot easier to lift and pull turf into place.
