Bucket Forklift – Manual

Manual Dirt Bucket — Turn Your Forklift into a Loader The Manual Dirt Bucket is a rugged, slip-on attachment designed to convert your forklift into a capable loader for handling loose material.
Whether you’re moving gravel, grain, sand, or general site debris, the DB-M gives your forklift excavation and dumping ability without needing a dedicated loader.
Features Mechanical Lever Dumping The DB-M operates via a mechanical lever for dumping, enabling controlled tipping without hydraulics.
This simplicity ensures less maintenance and fewer hydraulic components to worry about in the field.
Slip-On Mounting Designed to slip over forklift forks, making attachment and removal quick and efficient.
No need for complicated brackets or custom mounts — just slot it on and go.
Long Reach & Efficient Scoop A lengthened shovel profile gives you extended reach into piles or trenches, improving accessibility.
The geometry improves loading efficiency, so fewer passes are needed.
Hardened Steel Wear Edge The front edge is made with hardened steel, resisting abrasion and prolonging service life in heavy duty conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish A zinc finish provides protection against rust and corrosion, ideal for outdoor or dusty environments.
  Ideal Applications & Use Cases Site clean-up & debris removal — pick up loose materials from floors or trenches Agriculture & feed handling — move grain, mulch, or other bulk materials Quarry, mining, and aggregates — shovel loose rock, gravel, sand Recycling & waste processing — handle scrap, debris, or waste product Maintenance & landscaping — fill or grade areas, shift soil or mulch Because it mounts to an existing forklift, the DB-M is especially suited to operations where flexibility and multi-purpose use are valued.
Selecting the Right DB-M for Your Forklift When choosing, keep these factors in mind


Match the working load limit (WLL) to your forklift’s rated capacity — avoid overload conditions.
Fork pocket dimensions and centres — your forklift’s forks must align with the bucket’s pocket specs.
Capacity vs.
weight tradeoff — higher capacity means heavier bucket; balance with usable load.
Material type — if using abrasive materials, the wear edge is critical — plan for replacements.
Ease of operator use — ensure the lever mechanism is within reach and simple to operate safely.
