Forklift Bucket – Hydraulic
If you’re looking for a durable and efficient attachment to convert your forklift into a material handling powerhouse, the Forklift Bucket from East West Engineering is an excellent option. This hydraulic tip-up bin is ideal for handling waste, excavation, loose materials such as gravel or grain, and even light liquid waste.
With its hydraulic tilt function, slip-on base frame, rugged wear edge, and zinc finish, the DBHS2 is built for longevity and ease of use. Below, you’ll find full specifications and use-case benefits.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic full backwards tilt | Allows the bucket to tip up fully | Ideal for dumping wet or heavy materials without manual intervention |
| Slip-on base frame & “Quick Connect” hydraulic couplings | Fast mounting and dismounting | Reduces downtime when switching attachments |
| Hardened steel wear edge | Resists abrasion and wear | Extends the life of the bucket in harsh environments |
| Zinc finish | Corrosion-resistant surface | Maintains appearance and protects against rust |
| Single hydraulic function required | Simple hydraulic integration | Minimal additional hardware or piping needed |
These features make the DBHS2 highly practical in demanding industrial, mining, or agricultural settings.
Applications
The DBHS2 Hydraulic Dirt Bucket is well-suited to a variety of industrial and commercial settings:
- Waste handling & volume loading — tipping directly into bins, compactors or trucks
- Excavation & clean-up work — inline removal of dirt, gravel, sand etc.
- Grain, sand or aggregate movement — especially helpful in constrained spaces
- Light liquid or slurry transfer — thanks to its backwards tilt capability
- Mines, quarries, recycling yards, farms, construction — wherever bulk materials need to be moved efficiently
Because it mounts via a slip-on frame and requires only one hydraulic circuit, it’s a flexible add-on for many forklift fleets.
Why Choose the DBHS2?
- Efficiency — hydraulic tipping eliminates manual labour and speeds up turnover
- Durability — hardened materials and protective finishes extend lifespan
- Versatility — suitable for both solids and some semi-liquids
- Ease of use — slip-on frame and quick couplings reduce downtime
- Australian support — local supplier for spare parts, servicing, and customisation
