A system is provided for releasably retaining a second work implement 80 on a first work implement 53 during transportation. The first implement 53 is attached to a vehicle (100, Fig 1) using an interchangable coupling system (23, Fig 2) and carries a retainer system for attaching to the second implement 80. The first implement 53 may be a pallet fork attachment. The retainer system comprises a carriage plate 54 located within a slider bracket 61. The carriage plate 54 has an aperture 65 at the distal end that can be coaxially aligned with a connecting aperture 85 on the second implement 80 and secured using a locking pin 57 inserted through both apertures. The carriage plate 54 is L shaped at its proximal end 58 to engage the slider bracket 61 and stop forward movement. The slider bracket 61 is U shaped and located on the vertical part of the forks 52 and has an aperture 67 that can be aligned with the carriage plate aperture 65 and a locking pin 57 inserted to secure the plate when not in use. In a further embodiment, the carriage plate (74, Fig 7) may also be pivotally attached to a vertical part of the forks (51, Fig 7). The plate (74, Fig 7) having an aperture (65, Fig 7) at its distal end to coaxially align with the connecting aperture (85, Fig 7) on the second implement 80 and secured by a locking pin (57, Fig 7).
