Lots of construction businesses feel that loaders have become a cumbersome expense and lots of their tasks can be accomplished using the versatility and effectiveness provided by forklift buckets.
A forklift container can be bought for much less than it costs to lease a loader for a few months. It can transform your extendable reach forklift into an efficient loading tool and material handler. This setup would provide greater range compared to standard loaders and have much more flexibility in general. Completing jobs like for example placing gravel on a large, flat roof to dumping trash into a dumpster could all be quickly and safely completed. There are a variety of forklift buckets obtainable designed for particular applications.
Universal Fit Buckets
Universal Fit buckets also referred to as "slip-on-the-forks" forklift attachment buckets. These buckets could be used together with any model and make of extendable reach forklift. If your unit is unable to be matched with a quick-tach component, another brand new or used universal fit bucket could be located in its place. Standard universal lift truck buckets connect to blades that are up to 6" wide and are 48" long. Bigger fork pockets could be ordered via an account manager upon request.
Because they slip directly onto the forks, universal fit buckets stay on the equipment and are much less at risk to damage. Compared to the quick-tach bucket models, universal fit buckets are fifty percent. This extra space makes them perfect for lifting irregular shaped loads such as moving large debris piles, broken up concrete, backfilling behind walls, tearing of roof trash and elevating roof gravel.
Quick-Tach Buckets
Quick-Tach Buckets are constructed for extendable-reach forklifts. They are designed to allow positioning of material far beyond the reach of a loader. A hardened beveled cutting blade on both sides and on the leading edge reinforces strength, resistance to damage and provides supreme durability. Quick-Tach lift truck buckets are enhanced by scuff bars along the base of the unit which shield it from scrapes.
Quick-Tach lift buckets can in various situations replace the blades and carriage of a forklift, which may weigh somewhere between 100-700lbs. These buckets when set up can free up more load capacity, enabling it to handle both bigger and heavier items. The Quick-Tach can dump materials more or less 1.5 feet higher because of the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a custom fashion so as to suit the specifications of specific models and makes of forklifts. It is essential to talk to a construction equipment specialist so as to find the custom-made Quick-Tach bucket solution for your needs.
