Bulk buckets are used for handling and transporting bulk goods such as sand, grain, fertilizer, potatoes or similar goods. The goods may not be picked up below floor level.

The most frequently used variant is the bucket for agricultural use, which is equipped with a high overflow plate and side walls.

The bucket should always be wider than the lift truck in order to ensure smooth operation.

Bulk buckets are mounted directly onto the fork carriage; a version with QD hooks is available.
