Lots of construction companies feel that loaders have become a cumbersome expense and a lot of their tasks could be accomplished utilizing the effectiveness and versatility provided by forklift buckets.
A forklift bucket could be obtained for a lot less than it costs to lease a loader for a couple of months. It could transform your extendable reach forklift into an efficient loading tool and material handler. This setup would offer better range than usual loaders and have a lot more flexibility in general. Finishing tasks such as placing gravel on a large, flat roof to dumping trash into a dumpster can all be quickly and safely completed. There are various lift truck buckets obtainable meant for specific applications.
Universal Fit Buckets
"Slip on the forks" attachment buckets or also known as Universal Fit buckets can be utilized with whatever model or design of extendable reach forklift. If your unit is unable to be matched with a quick-tach component, another brand new or second-hand universal fit bucket can be located instead. Typical universal forklift buckets attach to forks that are up to 6" wide and are 48" long. Bigger fork pockets could be prearranged through an account executive upon request.
As they slip directly onto the blades, universal fit buckets stay on the machinery and are less at risk to destruction. Compared to the quick-tach bucket models, universal fit buckets are fifty percent. This additional space makes them perfect for carrying irregular shaped loads such as 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 lift trucks. They are made to allow positioning of materials far beyond the reach of a loader. A hardened beveled cutting blade on both sides and on the leading edge reinforces strength, resistance to wear and tear and provides supreme durability. Quick-Tach forklift buckets are enhanced by scuff bars along the bottom of the unit that shield it from scrapes.
Quick-Tach lift buckets can in several situations replace the blades and carriage of a lift truck, which may weigh somewhere between 100-700lbs. These buckets when set up can free up more load capacity, enabling it to deal with both larger and heavier items. The Quick-Tach is able to dump things around 1.5 feet higher because of the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a customized fashion in order to meet all the specifications of certain models and makes of forklifts. It is important to consult a construction equipment specialist so as to find the custom-made Quick-Tach bucket solution for your needs.
Lift truck bucket attachments are exceptional for ground level work on construction location sites. They are often designed for transferring snow in northern parts, and gravel and sand loading. Job location clean-up is another function the lift truck bucket does well. The various applications the bucket could accomplish saves the business more time and money as it does need to completely switch tools or machines and this could help avoid running into overtime.
