Self Dumping Forklift Buckets

Self-dumping forklift provide a low-cost alternative to front in loaders for the occasional user who only needs loading and hauling work done on an intermittent basis. These forklift attachments slip right over the forks of your truck, transforming your fork lift into a loader into a matter of minutes. The self-dumping bucket does not require you to make any modification whatsoever to your forklift and it needs no hydraulic system for operation.

Self-dumping forklift buckets typically come in three different sizes: ¼, ½, and ¾ cubic feet. They are ideal for loading gravel, hauling dirt, and construction trash cleanup. They are also ideal tools for specialized masonry work and landscaping services. Moving earthworks with a loader might be efficient, but it is also expensive, and some loaders are too large to easily fit into confined areas near trees and gardens. Masonry work is also often performed in between the tight confines of two walls. In these areas, forklift buckets can maneuver much more safely in these tight quarters and take up less space—leaving workers more freedom of movement for manual tasks.

When the day is done, and it is time to clean up, do you really need 10 day labor guys to walk around and pick up trash? Why not have one licensed forklift driver use a self-dumping bucket to haul away piles of rubble, small broken boards, paper trash, ripped up boxes, and discarded containers. This can get the grounds cleaned up by 5PM more quickly and avoid the expense of overtime or the risk of injury that can occur during a simple cleanup op. Consider the value of eliminating excessive day labor costs for the one-time cost of construction cleanup tool that a single licensed fork truck driver can use over and over again.

Self-dumping forklift dirt buckets are also very easy to operate. Forks slip into the bucket support, securing the unit to the forklift while simultaneously allowing the bucket to pivot when the safety lock is disengaged. You can release the bucket from either a seated position or from the ground by using a remote rope release, or you can trigger the bucket while you are seated by using the handle at the back of the unit.

The self-dumping forklift bucket automatically resets itself after being lowered to the ground. The safety mechanism on the bucket prevents it from accidentally releasing its contents when it is being moved over rough ground. Heavy duty components and superb engineering ensure years of reliable performance from this simple—yet highly versatile--forklift attachment.

Using Fork Lift Attachments Self Dumping Steel Hoppers Easily Move Raw Materials.

Self dumping steel hoppers and perfect for carrying goods on a standard fork lift truck. You not only get a disposal system that is easily manageable in terms of loading and unloading, but one that is fast, reliable, and capable of carrying large amounts of materials in a single trip around the building.

Steel dumpers are stationary for collecting items and completely portable when transporting from one area to another. The handy fork lift attachment makes them an attractive trash collection and disposal solution to most commercial warehouse or industrial facilities.

You can choose light duty hoppers that are designed to carry waste such as crushed boxes and long planks of wood, or deeper fully contained hoppers with poly lids which are suitable for dust and even liquids. Most self dumping hoppers feature a fully laser welded construction that prevents any leakage in use.

One of the main advantages of a self dumping steel hopper is that it does not require complex and expensive pneumatic systems in order to raise the fully loaded hopper in order to dump the contents. Instead, the natural position of the hopper is in the dumping position, and gravity will naturally pull the unit forwards when the operator unlocks it. This means that the hopper can be attached to the fork lifts quickly and effectively, with no additional power requirements or other issues needing to be addressed.

If you are in the market for a new steel dumper or a self dumping hopper with a quick release feature, Easy Rack can meet those requirements. Our vast selection of material handling products, coupled with award winning customer service representatives, will make your online buying experience a treat compared to others.
