A hardened beveled cutting blade on the leading edge and on both sides reinforces strength, resistance to wear and offers supreme durability. Quick-Tach lift truck buckets are reinforced by scuff bars along the base of the unit which protect it from scrapes.
Quick-Tach lift truck buckets can be utilized to replace the carriage and forks that weigh between one hundred to seven hundred pounds. Once installed, these buckets free up more of the unit's cargo capacity, enabling it to handle heavier and bigger stuff. The Quick-Tach is able to dump materials around 1.5 feet higher thanks to the shorter depth of its bucket. These buckets are designed in a custom fashion to be able to meet the specs of particular makes and models of lift trucks. It is vital to check with a construction equipment specialist to be able to find the custom-made Quick-Tach bucket solution for all of your requirements.
