Star Industries Heavy Duty Forklift Buckets

Turn your forklift into a loader and reach places where loaders can’t!

The Star Industries Forklift Bucket is designed for extendable-reach forklifts, making it easy to place materials in hard-to-reach places like elevated positions and behind high walls.

Slip-on-forks

Designed for 48' forks

The universal, slip-on-the-fork model can be used with any make and model of extendable-reach forklift that is equipped with standard 48” long forks. The bucket slides on to the forks and secured with pins behind the heel. Because the forks and carriage remain on the forklift, there’s less chance of damage or loss to the forks. This design features a deeper bucket, making transport of irregular shaped loads easier.

• Accepts forks up to 7' wide x 2 ½' thick x 48' long
• Positive locking system keeps bucket secured to forks
• Chain & Grab Hook wraps around carriage as a secondary safety measure
• Bucket approx. 51' deep
