Transform your forklift into a versatile loader and access areas beyond the reach of regular loaders! The Star Industries Forklift Bucket is crafted for extendable - reach forklifts, enabling easy placement of materials in hard - to - reach spots such as elevated positions and behind high walls.
**Quick Tach**: Quick - Tach directly connects to the boom end for a secure and robust link. Removing the forks and carriage system reduces weight by 700 to 1,000 lbs, allowing the telehandler to lift heavier loads. It attaches directly to the boom end via telehandler quick - tach and is available for most forklifts.
**Slip - on - forks**: Designed for 48 - inch forks, this universal model fits any extendable - reach forklift with standard 48 - inch long forks. The bucket slides onto the forks and is secured with pins behind the heel. Keeping the forks and carriage on the forklift reduces the risk of damage or loss. The deeper bucket design simplifies the transport of irregular - shaped loads. It can accept forks up to 7 feet wide, 2.5 feet thick, and 48 feet long, has a positive locking system to keep the bucket on the forks, and a chain & grab hook as a secondary safety measure. The bucket is approximately 51 inches deep.

Using the Star Industries Forklift Bucket is a breeze. For the quick - tach model, connect it directly to the end of the boom via the telehandler quick - tach. If you're using the slip - on - forks model, slide the bucket onto the 48 - inch forks and secure it with pins behind the heel. Make sure to use the chain & grab hook as an extra safety measure.
When it comes to safety, never operate the bucket without installing the retaining pins and securing them properly. Always use the safety chains and wrap them around a strong part of the fork carriage.
For maintenance, regularly check the connection points of the bucket, whether it's the quick - tach or the slip - on - forks attachment. Inspect the pins, chains, and grab hooks for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the bucket after each use to prevent the build - up of debris, which can affect its performance and durability.
