Turn your forklift into a loader and reach spots that a standard loader can’t. The Star Industries forklift bucket is built for extendable-reach forklifts, making it easy to place material in elevated areas or behind tall walls. The deep, heavy-duty bucket handles tough jobs without trouble.

Quick-Tach Buckets

Quick-Tach buckets connect directly to the end of the boom for a strong and secure fit. Removing the forks and carriage cuts 700 to 1,000 pounds from the machine, which lets the telehandler lift heavier loads.

  • Attaches to the boom with the telehandler’s quick-tach

  • Fits most forklift models

  • Creates a safe, direct connection

Slip-On-Fork Buckets

Designed for standard 48-inch forks, the universal slip-on model works with any extendable-reach forklift. The bucket slides over the forks and locks in place with pins behind the heel. Because the forks and carriage stay on the machine, there’s less risk of damage or misplacement. The deeper bucket design also makes it easier to carry odd-shaped loads.

  • Fits forks up to 7 inches wide, 2.5 inches thick, and 48 inches long

  • Positive locking system keeps the bucket secure

  • Chain and grab hook wrap around the carriage as backup safety

  • Bucket depth is about 51 inches

  • Universal slip-on design

A Bucket Attachment Makes Load Handling Easier

A forklift bucket is one of the most useful tools on a jobsite. It turns your forklift into a loader so you can place materials in tight or elevated spots where other machines can’t reach.

What Is a Forklift Bucket Attachment?

A forklift bucket mounts on the forks to turn the machine into a multi-purpose handler for loose material, bulk goods, and debris. Built from durable steel, it stands up to rough job conditions. Buckets come in several sizes, including high-capacity and tilting versions, and they attach easily to most forklifts.

Quick-Tach and Slip-On Bucket Options

Quick-Tach buckets attach directly to the boom, cutting machine weight so it can lift heavier loads.
Slip-on-fork models work with any extendable-reach forklift with 48-inch forks. They slide on easily and stay secured with lock pins. Their deeper design makes it easier to move awkward or uneven loads.
