When companies calculate all of their expenditures and like to decrease overhead, unnecessary machine rentals and acquisitions are the very first thing to be removed. Many construction companies feel that loaders have become a cumbersome expense and a lot of their jobs can be done with the versatility and effectiveness offered by forklift buckets.
A forklift bucket could be acquired for much less than it really costs to lease a loader for several months. It will transform your extendable reach forklift into a material handling and loading tool that works efficiently. This setup will provide increased range as opposed to standard loaders and have a lot more adaptability on the whole. Completing jobs like for example placing gravel on a large, flat roof to dumping trash into a dumpster could all be safely and quickly done. There are a variety of lift truck buckets presented meant for certain applications.
Universal Fit Buckets
"Slip on the forks" attachment buckets or also known as Universal Fit buckets can be used along with any design or model of extendable reach forklift. If your unit is unable to be matched with a quick-tach unit, another brand new or used universal fit bucket can be located as an alternative. Typical universal forklift buckets connect to blades that are up to 6" wide and are 48" long. Bigger fork pockets can be ordered through an account executive upon request.
As universal fit forklift buckets slip onto the blades directly, they stay on the machinery and are much less vulnerable to damage. These buckets are also 50% deeper as opposed to the quick-tach bucket models. This additional space makes them ideal for lifting irregular shaped loads such as backfilling behind walls, tearing off roof trash, elevating roof gravel, moving large debris piles and broken up concrete.
Quick-Tach Buckets
Quick-Tach Buckets are made for extendable-reach forklifts. They are made to allow placement 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 wear and tear and offers supreme durability. Quick-Tach lift truck buckets are reinforced by scuff bars along the base of the unit which protect it from abrasion.
Quick-Tach lift buckets could in many situations substitute the blades and carriage of a lift truck, which may weigh anywhere between one hundred to seven hundred pounds. These buckets when set up can free up more load capacity, enabling it to handle both bigger and heavier items. The Quick-Tach is able to pour items about 1.5 feet higher due to the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a customized fashion so as to meet the specifications of certain makes and models of lift trucks. It is important to talk to a construction equipment specialist to be able to find the custom-made Quick-Tach bucket solution for your requirements.
