It will transform your extendable reach forklift into a material handling and loading piece of equipment which operates effectively. This setup will offer greater range than standard loaders and have a lot more flexibility on the whole. Accomplishing tasks like for instance placing gravel on a large, flat roof to pouring trash into a dumpster could all be safely and quickly completed. There are different lift truck buckets presented meant for certain applications.
Universal Fit Buckets
Universal Fit buckets also referred to as "slip-on-the-forks" lift truck accessory buckets. These buckets can be used together with whichever make and model of extendable reach lift truck. If your unit can't be matched with a quick-tach component, another brand new or second-hand universal fit bucket could be located in its place. Regular universal forklift buckets connect to forks that are up to six inches wide and are forty eight inches long. Bigger fork pockets could be ordered through an account manager upon request.
For the reason that they slip directly onto the blades, universal fit buckets stay on the equipment and are a lot less vulnerable to damage. As opposed to the quick-tach bucket models, universal fit buckets are 50% deeper. This extra room makes them ideal for carrying irregular shaped loads like for example elevating roof gravel, moving large debris piles, broken up concrete, backfilling behind walls and tearing off roof trash.
Quick-Tach Buckets
Quick-Tach Buckets are constructed for extendable-reach forklifts. They are designed to allow placement of material far beyond the reach of a loader. A hardened beveled cutting blade on the leading edge and on both sides reinforces strength, resistance to damage and offers supreme durability. Quick-Tach forklift buckets are reinforced by scuff bars along the bottom of the unit that shield it from abrasion.
Quick-Tach lift truck buckets could be used to swap the carriage and blades which weigh between one hundred to seven hundred pounds. Once installed, these buckets free up more of the unit's load capacity, enabling it to handle heavier and larger items. The Quick-Tach is able to pour materials around 1.5 feet higher due to the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a custom fashion to be able to suit all the specs of certain makes and models of forklifts. It is essential to talk to a construction equipment specialist in order to find the custom-made Quick-Tach bucket solution for all your requirements.
Forklift bucket accessories are outstanding for ground level work on construction job sites. They are usually utilized for transferring snow in northern areas, and sand and gravel loading. Jobsite clean-up is one more function the forklift bucket does well. The many applications the bucket could complete saves the company more money and time because it does have to entirely switch tools or equipment and this can help prevent running into overtime.
