It will transform your extendable reach lift truck into a material loading and handling machine that operates effectively. This setup would offer better range than typical loaders and have more adaptability in general. Accomplishing jobs like for example placing gravel on a large, flat roof to pouring trash into a dumpster could all be safely and quickly accomplished.

This additional room makes them perfect for carrying irregular shaped loads such as broken up concrete, backfilling behind walls, tearing off roof trash, elevating roof gravel and moving large debris piles.
Quick-Tach Buckets

These buckets when installed can free up more load capacity, enabling it to handle both bigger and heavier things. The Quick-Tach is able to dump items about 1.5 feet higher thanks to the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a customized fashion to be able to suit the specifications of particular makes and models of forklifts. It is important to talk to a construction equipment specialist in order to find the modified Quick-Tach bucket solution for your requirements.
