It is convenient and it provides precise control of the discharge.  Hydraulic flow from the forklift is required and hydraulic control valve is not included.  Frequently if the forklift is equipped with a hydraulic fork positioner, flow from that valve can be diverted to the bucket cylinder.
 The hydraulic cylinder provides a smooth controlled dump action.    Easy installation on forklifts with side shift. - Simply install quick-disconnects in the hydraulic lines going to side shift cylinder.  When bucket is used, hydraulic lines to side shift are disconnected and dump cylinder lines connected.  Bucket dump is then controlled with side shift valve. If not equipped with side shift, auxiliary hydraulics and valve are required.





Load sand, gravel, mulch or
most any loose material.

DANGER - DO NOT USE WITHOUT INSTALLING RETAINING PINS
BEHIND THE HEEL OF EACH FORK AND SECURING WITH HAIR PINS OR COTTER PINS.  SAFETY CHAIN(S) MUST ALSO BE USED. WRAP CHAIN AROUND A STRONG PART OF THE FORK CARRIAGE AND SECURE WITH LOCKING GRAB HOOK.

The ¼, ½, ¾, 1 yd3. capacitiesis are ideal size for the masonry supply, landscape supply or anyone that wants to load small quantities of sand, top soil, mulch, landscape materials, etc. It is also great for clean-up work around an equipment or supply yard.


Operation is simple, after disengaging the safety lock the bucket can be tripped with the handle at the back of the bucket or from the operator’s seat with the remote rope release. Lowering the bucket to the ground resets the bucket for the next load.

Heavy duty construction and a dependable trip mechanism ensures long trouble-free life. An affordable low cost makes this bucket easy to justify even for the occasional user.
