Gripping what a bucket cannot
Fork and tine configurations grip bulky, irregular or elongated material — timber, root balls, demolition debris, pipe — that a bucket simply cannot retain. The tines penetrate the pile rather than trying to scoop it.
Selection points
- Tine spacing and count. Fewer, heavier tines penetrate dense compacted material better. More tines retain loose and mixed material better. The material decides.
- Opening width against the largest item you need to handle in one grip.
- Rotation. Continuous rotation transforms productivity in handling work — without it the carrier repositions for every pick.
- Closing force against material that resists compaction, such as springy brush or mixed demolition arisings.
