Forklift Grapple Buckets

What benefit can grapple buckets offer our operation?
Root grapples and grapple buckets enable you to safely and quickly move bulky, hard-to-handle materials easily and securely. Grapple buckets are essential tools in tree removal, land clearing, paving, and construction. Cleanup crews use this heavy construction equipment for loading and piling logs, limbs, and brush.

This is all due to the unique design of the grapple bucket itself, which allows dirt and sand to fall to the ground while larger pieces of wood, rubble, and debris remain in the bucket. The grapple tines on the end of the bucket curve upward to prevent contents from spilling onto the ground and to avoid snagging utility lines and cables that may be lying under piles of debris, limps, and fallen trees.

What can are some things that grapple buckets can be used for?
For one thing, they are the perfect tool for removing roots of trees that have been cut down. This is why they are often called “root grapplers.” These forklift attachments are also good for clearing away debris after demolition work has been done. Excess construction debris is easy to remove with grapple buckets. In areas where storms have devastated foliage, they are essential tools in the cleanup of storm debris. Grapple buckets are important to a number of activities essential to landscaping as are self dumping hoppers. They are used from everything from clearing out brush to moving earthworks.

What are the most significant features of grapple buckets?
One of the most important components of any grapple bucket and forklift attqachments is a set of hydraulic cylinders that allows the bucket to flexibility adjust itself to the diameter, circumference, and unequal weight distribution of cumbersome and uneven loads. These cylinders keep the unit from becoming too heavy and creating a safety hazard and it helps extend the life of the unit. To keep wear and tear to minimum on your material handling equipment, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and fittings are protected with covers. Every pivot point is lubricated to maintain flexibility and avoid stress to moving parts. Cutting edges are punched so an optional bolt-on blade can be fitted securely to the grapple bucket. Additional tines can also be added if the space between existing tines is too small. This makes it easier to move piles of rubble or in landscaping work where a large amount of leaves, twigs, and other small trash items have to gripped firmly to avoid spillage.

Do we need a demolition grade grapple bucket?
You do if you are fitting a grapple bucket attachment to a “track” style skid steer, 70hp or greater skid steer, or skid steer that is rated at 3,500 lbs. capacity or more.

What features make a demolition grade unit unique?
Demolition grade units offer more capacity for uneven and extremely heavy loads with reinforcement gussets, and reliable performance is ensured by heavier component manufacture throughout. They also feature cylinder hoses routed in an enclosed tube for extra protection.

You can customize these heavy-duty models with end plates that contain loose materials and raised rings that protect grease fittings from damage. Ask one of our representatives about which of these options is best for your next project.

Do You Use Forklift Work Platform Attachments, Industrial Step Ladders, Scaffolding or Manlifts?

Have you considered using your forklift as a ladder or working platform?
Forklift work platform attachments are a simple to use alternative to other types of elevated working platforms that will enable staff to use the lifting potential of the fork lift truck to get them into a place where they can carry out inspection or maintenance work at a high level. The platform provides staff with a decent sized place in which to work, and dependent on the actual design of the model that you choose, you will be able to carry out a wide variety of tasks that otherwise would have required a specific platform. They are also safer than some industrial ladders.

Are forklift work platforms safe and easy to use?
Forklift attached work platforms are safe and user friendly. All that is required for them is to slide the standard forks into the channels that form the base of the platform, and for it to be lifted. The platform is stable in use, and has a capacity that is sufficient for at least two employees to work comfortably without risk. Any lifting is subject to the limits imposed on the overall system by the fork lift truck rating that is being used.

Do fork lift workstations have specific safety features I should know about?
A safety chain needs to be fastened to the actual forklift truck to secure the forklift platform attachment. Next safety bars must be locked into place so that they securely protect the occupants. In addition to these basic precautions it is also suggested that users fasten themselves securely to the actual platform with a lanyard to prevent accidental falls.

What does Easy Rack do?
We solve the problems of overhead that result from time delays, insufficient space, and facilities outgrown by business expansion.

We supply companies with new and used material handling and storage equipment that provide a cost effective alternative offer alternatives to expensive corporate moves and new building construction.

How do your tools help companies save money?
We supply products to companies that help them make better use of existing space, and that also help make work safer and less time consuming.

Our many commercial storage units will transform the unused vertical cube of a building into new space that in many cases eliminates the need to move.

Our wide selection in material moving equipment enables companies to find the right tool for the right job and thus eliminate safety problems and time delays by making it simpler and faster to move supplies around the building.

This improves process flow in two respects. Better tools and improved organization means less time is involved in moving and storage. This means safer working conditions for employees that may have previously been working with inadequate tools, and it means fewer overtime and weekend expenses.

Do you have any used equipment?
Yes. Our shelving and pallet racking products can be purchased either brand new or used in good condition.

We are sensitive to cash flow issues and caps on procurement funding. When funds are limited, we offer the appropriate equipment used, providing our clients with the same fit to task without the added cost of brand new equipment.

Easy Rack works within the parameters of your corporate budget.

Do you provide only products, or do you provide services as well?
We drop ship all of our materials directly to the location you specify.

We also have recently expanded into the sale of all types of modular buildings, and we handle all of the setup of these structures as well as the shipping.

Since our founding as a material handling solution source, we have also expanded into modular buildings and installation.

Prefabricated modular buildings allow you to turn of unused property into new office space, security shacks, and additional storage buildings to their location at a fraction of the cost of new construction.

In many cases, companies who are facing what they think is an imminent crisis in space find out that modular buildings make use of space that previously went unnoticed, or appeared useless.

Construction companies particularly value this service because it allows them to literally build out an entire location onsite that can then be moved at will to the next job.

Electric Pallet Jacks, Manual Forklift Truck Supplies & Accessories Online at Discount Prices from Easy Rack.

There are a wide range of different designs and manufacturers of electric pallet jacks that supply material handling products through Easy Rack. In general, all of the manufacturers we promote carry variations of electric and manual pallet jacks with subtle differences depending on the actual model or features that you select.

One of the advantages of using electric powered pallet stackers or trucks over manual pallet jacks is to gain a much larger range of movement during the loading process. Using an electric pallet jack with a built in scale, it is possible to raise the load much more quickly to a greater height. This means that the user will find it much easier to lift a palletized load to a level where it can be conveniently handled by the end user rather than leaving the items at floor level.

Thanks to the strength of the load bearing platform on an power assisted pallet jack, it is possible to lift surprisingly heavy weights and make it easy to move them around the warehouse of factory. In addition to this, it is also much more straightforward to get heavy loads onto a truck or trailer with the jack rather than using a forklift. The single button control system that is used by the electric pallet jack means that it is a much more straightforward system when in use than conventional jacks, so users will only require a very short training session before they are confident to use the truck properly.

The latest electric pallet jacks offer the same kind of pneumatic or hydraulic lifting capacity of their conventional gas powered rivals, and are quicker and more efficient to use.

Here are some electric pallet truck specifications that you should know:

- Electric pallet lift trucks run off 24Volt batteries with battery charger standard.
- The 3,000 pound capacity models use two 12Volt batteries with 70Ah rating.
- The 4,500 pound capacity models use four 12Volt batteries with 180Ah rating.
- Electric pallet trucks will typically achieve a minimum of eight hours of service on a full charge.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of pallet trucks, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular buildings installed nationwide.

Fork Lift Attachments Provide Material Handling Diversity & Mobility.

Forklift attachments from Easy Rack are designed to give any fork lift operator a greater variety of uses for lift trucks in both the warehouse and the loading dock area. Special fork lift hoppers, for example can be used to move large quantities of materials, and then used as a self dumping hopper. Forklift attachments include extended forks that are able to give greater support to larger objects when they need to be lifted, and specially shaped forks that allow you to carry particular loads such as 55 gallon oil drums or move snow with a plow attachment.

Other popular fork lift attachments from Easy Rack include:

Hoist & hook attachments

Fork Lift Boom Attachments

Fork Truck Platforms

Fork Lift Extensions

Fork Lift Ram Attachments

The majority of the fork lift attachments available from Easy Rack are designed to refine rather than to reinvent the forklift, and to make it a much more specialized tool that can perform jobs more accurately and more safely. Some items such as protective sleeves for a fork lift are simple plastic items that simply fit over the existing fork to remove the sharp edges and ensure that less damage or injury is caused should the forklift crash into any item or person.

The fact is that no matter what the kind of load you need to lift, there is a special adaptation or forklift extension attachment that can make the job easier. While the standard model of forklift is an extremely capable and versatile tool that offers plenty of value as part of your range of material handling equipment, the fact is that by giving it additional equipment to allow it to carry out a wider variety of roles within the warehouse or factory, you also extend the value that it offers to your business.
