Over The Top bucket Fork Kit, 4,500 Pound Capacity, 48 Inch Forks

The 4,500 lb. kit contains 1 pair of forks with welded bushings, one 1.5″ shaft up to 87″, 4 steel hooks for the top of the bucket and a large washer and hitch pin for the shaft. The fork blades are 1.75" thick, 3" wide and 48” long and will fit buckets that have an opening of no more than 38”. These kits are an excellent option for backhoes providing no hassle, on demand, hands free mounting of forks. The only set up required for top mount bucket forks is to weld the provided steel hooks to the top front edge of the bucket. Different shaft widths and custom top hooks are available. These forks have eyes welded on the top allowing them to slide onto the shaft. Once on the shaft, tip your bucket forward then move forward until the hooks catch the shaft. Then tilt the bucket back and the shaft locks into your hooks and you’re ready to go. Once done, set the bucket down until the forks are on the ground and the tensions off. Once again tilt your bucket forward until the shaft isn’t touching your hooks and back away. Very simple and cost efficient.
