Forklift Bucket Attachments

Are forklift bucket attachments less expensive than loaders?
Yes, by all means they are. Not only are they less expensive than a loader purchase, they are less expensive than a loader rental. For less than the cost of renting a loader for two months, you can purchase a forklift bucket that transforms your extendable reach forklift into a material handling and loading device with greater range than standard loaders and far more adaptability to a number of mission critical applications.

Can buckets attached to forklifts handle the same applications as loaders?
Yes. A wide range of jobs such as dumping trash into a dumpster blocked by debris piles to placing gravel on a large, flat rooftop can be quickly, safely, and be safely and quickly accomplished with a quick-tach or slip-over-the-forks forklift bucket. This type of heavy duty construction equipment for forklifts is a great way to maximize your invests.

What are quick-tach buckets most used for?
These forklift attachments are often used for ground level work on new construction sites. They can also load sand and gravel, and construction crews in northern climates routinely use them to plow through snow. At the end of the day, these same bucket forklift attachments can be used for jobsite clean-up.

Do quick-tach buckets replace the forks on a fork truck?
Yes. This frees up more of the forkliftʼs load capacity so it can handle larger and heavier materials. The only disadvantage to this is that Quick-Tach forklift buckets are customized to specific makes & models of forklifts. If your forklift is not a compatible with a quick-tach unit, you will need to go with slip-over-the-forks, or universal fit bucket, as it is called.

Universal fit buckets can fit any size extendable reach forklift with forks that are 48" long and up to 6" wide. If you require larger fork pockets on your bucket, you can also order these an account manager.

Are there any specific advantages to a universal fit forklift bucket attachment?
Because universal fit forklift buckets slip on to the forks directly, they stay on the machine and are much more impervious to damage. They are 50% deeper than quick-tach units and thus ideal for carrying irregular shaped loads such as broken up concrete, elevating roof gravel, tearing off roof trash, moving large debris piles, and back filling behind high walls.

How do I know if I need a quick-tach unit or a universal fit bucket for my fork truck?
This will depend on your specific application, the elevation of your application, the materials involved, and most of all, the make, model, and capacity of your fork truck. Your Easy Rack account manager will help you make all the necessary calculations to find the best model that most suits your project.

Fork Lift Truck Attachments

What is the greatest benefit offered by forklift attachments?
Rack forklift attachments can save thousands of dollars on specialize equipment costs by turning standard fork trucks into specialized tools for a wide range of applications. Simply adding the right attachment can enable you to do anything from elevating materials and workers to loading materials into containers.

Can safety work platforms be used to lift personnel to higher floors?
Yes. In addition to lifting materials, safety work platforms can elevate workers up and over obstructions that prohibit the use of scissor lifts. They offer a safer, larger, and more stable work platform than boom lifts and can be elevated to the desired height much faster than a scaffold. These forklift attachments are designed to be fully OSHA compliant and feature toe boards, full perimeter guardrails, and secure access gates. They can be customized with optional mast protection screens that will protect workers from the moving parts of the forklift mast.

Do you have attachments for cleanup?
Yes. Self-dumping hoppers attach to forklifts and allow you to load and carry debris and garbage to dumpsters. Built for rough terrain, these dump hoppers will release debris from an elevated location when discharged, saving time and reducing the risk of collisions with the dumpster in the process.

Do you have specialized lifting attachments?
We have a number of lifting devices you can use to customize your forklift and get the most out of its power. Lift hooks secure toward the base of the forks and allow the forklift to safely and easily lift up to 10,000 pounds. They attachments can be used with both straight-mast and extendable reach forklifts.

The quick-tach truss boom performs exactly like a crane, at a much lower cost. It is ideal for work in low-rise jobs, especially metal and portable building erection.

Heavy duty jobs can be tackled with the Easy Rack heavy duty jib cranes. Made for moving large items in and out of hard to reach places, this jib reaches over or under obstructions and scaffolding, and it can go through narrow openings like windows.

Heavy Construction Equipment

Easy Rack knows customization is the key to safety, ergonomics, and success. There are so many different types of applications for heavy construction that the need to specialize and customize fork trucks, masonry tools, and skid-steers almost always presents itself on the job site.

Forklift Accessories
Forklifts attachments are OSHA compliant heavy construction equipment that turns forklifts into loading platforms. Standard safety platforms enable the forklift to reach over obstructions too high for scissor lifts and other heavy construction equipment. They provide much wider platforms than boom lifts, and they can be lifted more rapidly than scaffolding.

Skid-Steer Loading Products
These products let you customize your loading into a specialized piece of heavy construction equipment. Scoop and mix concrete mixers allow you to scoop up sand and gravel in the bucket position, then rotate for in-place concrete mixing. Hoppers are designed to clear debris from construction sites and landscaping projects. Root grapples and grapple buckets help landscaping crews to clear and prepare properties for a new look.

Masonry Construction Equipment
Easy Rack Masonry Equipment for Heavy Construction saves time and money for the time. Tools such as Mortar Buggies are an excellent way to move mortar into areas that cannot be accessed by forklifts. Brick Carts and Block Carts often save companies as much as 80% on labor cost to move brick and block. Nesting Forklift Mortar Tubs are easily to move, and they can be stacked stored with your forklift.

Heavy Construction Equipment Forks
You can equip your forklift or your skid-steer with many types of forks. Forks get damaged to the point that they need to be replaced. Easy Rack carries replacement forks in brick, block and general purpose styles. Each style is specially designed for the designated purposes. Over the bucket forks allow you to use your skid steer vehicle like a forklift. Another add on for your skid-steer is the fork frame attachment with bright red fork tips clearly visible for safety reasons, and a heavy duty tapered backstop that keeps the forks from swinging when picking up very heavy or odd sized loads.

Tow/Load/Haul
Heavy construction equipment often has to be moved by an individual worker. In order to make this as ergonomic as possible, special tow, load, and hauling tools are strongly recommended, especially when moving heavy construction equipment that is bulky or manufactured with disproportionate dimensions. Load and tows reduce customer wait time, cut labor cost by helping workers get the job done in less time with little or no need for overtime, prevent back injury, and reduce damage to equipment. Ramps and steel loaded pins allow for easy and safe transportation via fork truck.

Truck Loading Ramps

When consumer goods are being transported to customers, truck drivers often will find themselves in need of a truck loading ramp. While many commercial trucks and trailers have some type of lifting system, it still makes the whole loading or unloading process a much more tedious affair. By comparison, a truck loading ramps from Easy Rack, can be stored inside your truck or kept on site to allow the trailer to be fully loaded or unloaded without a dock.

There are a variety of different designs of truck loading ramps available. When using a forklift truck or pallet jack you will need a loading ramp that offers a gentle incline to make it safe and manageable to move heavy items onto and off the truck. Aluminum loading ramps with midway supports are very effective for use with this type of equipment. This lightweight metal has enormous strength, and under most circumstances is much more rigid than steel. Aluminum loading ramps are also light enough to be manipulated into place by a single person. This means that the driver of the truck or his assistant will be able to manage the loading and unloading process if absolutely necessary.

When you are choosing the right truck loading ramps for your business, safety should always be your min concern. While some companies offer cheap truck loading ramps, these are generally of a much lower quality, and are made from poorer materials without the levels of safety consideration given by a more established manufacturer. Often, low quality loading ramps are not equipped with side rails or decent support structures underneath them, and this will increase the risk of a collapse in use, as well as making it more likely that a user will run off the side of the ramp when in use.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of loading dock levelers, hitch lifts, loading dock ramps, & dock boards, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, parking lot lighting kits, tennis court lighting packages, athletic field sports lighting, used pallet racks, Christmas lights, and modular prefab buildings.

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.
