The underslung design of this scoop bucket attachment makes it particularly suited to high-density job sites where every inch of turning space counts. By shifting the centre of gravity closer to the mast, operators enjoy enhanced stability even when handling dense materials like gravel or packed topsoil.
Installation is simple: position the forks, remove the heel pin, drive into the fork pockets, and then reinsert the heel pin with its lynch pin. This quick setup allows for fast deployment across multiple shift changes, increasing productivity and minimising downtime.
The scoop’s release mechanism is located on both sides of the frame, accommodating left- and right-handed operation. Welded wear strips extend the unit's lifespan even in harsh, abrasive working conditions. The steel bucket is coated in bright orange to enhance visibility during movement, reducing the risk of collision or oversight during high-traffic shifts.

Application in context
As an upgrade over open tipping skips, the underslung scoop gives operators more control and safety, especially when turning or working around tight corners. Its lower position improves visual lines and handling dynamics. Landscapers appreciate the compact form for accessing narrow plots or urban gardens, while industrial operators benefit from dual handles for efficiency in automated routines. For sites where bulk tipping skips aren’t practical due to space constraints, this solution delivers powerful performance with a smaller footprint.
From waste disposal to bulk loading, this forklift bucket helps companies improve site logistics without investing in complex machinery. Its design aligns with safety standards for forklift attachment use, and its rugged profile guarantees reliability on demanding jobs.
