Bucket Fork Kits

Are you constantly switching back and forth between heavy machinery or various attachments when you are moving heavy materials?

While this issue is a headache and a struggle for many, there is a solution.

PRO-Link Hayspears® Bucket Forks.

What Are Bucket Forks?

Bucket fork kits allow the operator to use pallet forks quickly and efficiently, without the hassle of changing out machines or attachments.

The ease of lifting heavy materials with bucket fork kits is what makes them ideal for a multitude of tasks.

This equipment is essential for:

  • Lifting bags of concrete
  • Fencing
  • Pallets
  • Crates
  • Landscaping materials
  • Loading and unloading trucks
  • Stacking objects
  • Moving bulky items around

A wide range of bucket fork kits are available today, allowing you to customize your bucket to best fit your needs. The most common type of Bucket Forks, bolt-on or clamp-on style bucket forks, are cheap and generic. They will, oftentimes, damage your bucket. Therefore, they are not durable enough to handle most of the heavy-duty jobs.

PRO-Link Hayspears® only sells Top Mount Bucket Forks, which are specifically made from solid steel.

Bucket Forks

What are Top Mount Bucket Forks?

Top Mount Bucket Forks, often referred to as fork attachments or Over the Bucket Forks, can be used on heavy machinery – including skid steers, backhoes, front end loaders, wheel loaders, telehandlers and similar equipment. This fork attachment is going to offer an easy, effective and cost-conscious way to implement forks on your heavy machinery.

Over the bucket forks are mounted to the top of the bucket, rather than being inserted in the bucket or using clamps. This design will provide a hands-free mounting process that is useful for a variety of tasks. The fast and easy design will also eliminate the need to frequently disconnect and reconnect the forks.

Top Mount Bucket Forks typically have two or more hooks that are welded on top of the bucket. The forks, essentially, slide along a bar that is held by the hooks. This type of setup is designed to evenly distribute the total weight of the load, protecting your machine and bucket from any damage, unlike the bolt-on or clamp-on style Bucket Forks.

Advantages of Top Mount Bucket Forks:

  • Versatility. Top Mount Bucket Forks offer a way to convert your bucket into a pallet fork attachment, without requiring separate equipment.
  • Simple Installation. The hands – free mounting process provides an easy and fast attachment and detachment.
  • Lifting Efficiency. Top Mount Bucket Forks will eliminate the need for straps and chains.
  • Durability. The high – quality steel ensures long lasting durability.
