Fork Mounted Underslung Scoop

Description

nderslung Scoops are an ideal alternative to a loading shovel allowing your forklift to become a more universal asset. The design brings the load closer to the Forklift reducing the load center and in turn making the combined length of scoop and truck shorter, which is a benefit when working in tight spaces. Ideal for the movement or loading of loose materials such as sand, gravel, top soil.

OPERATION

• Remove the heel pin(s) from the attachment.
• Drive the forks into the fork pockets.
• Insert fork pocket heel pin(s) directly behind the heel of the fork and attach safety lynch pin into hole provided.
• The attachment is now ready for use.
