Buckets for Telehandlers

A bucket that can be fitted to a telehandler for moving materials, dirt, and other materials handling tasks

We have buckets for telehandler’s available in a wide range of sizes depending on the machine’s capacity, intended application, and the material being handled. Unlike excavator buckets, telehandler buckets are generally specified by capacity (m³) rather than just width. We offer telehandler buckets in sizes ranging from 0.7 m³ to 3.0 m³.

  • 0.7–1.0 m³ for  General construction, sand, gravel, soil
  • 1.2–1.8 m³ for Larger construction and industrial telehandlers
  • 2.0–3.0 m³ often used for Agricultural materials, grain, mulch, woodchips and light bulk materials (cotton, silage, compost)

Common Telehandler Bucket Types

For telehandlers, you’ll commonly find:

  • General Purpose Bucket – Soil, gravel, sand, mulch.
  • 4-in-1 Bucket – Functions as a bucket, dozer blade, grab and scraper.
  • Light Material Bucket – Larger capacity for low-density materials like mulch, grain and woodchips.
  • Heavy Duty Bucket – Reinforced for rock, demolition waste and harsh applications.
  • Inert Material Bucket – Designed for handling aggregates and construction materials.
  • High-Tip Bucket – Provides extra dump height when loading trucks or hoppers.

Choosing The Right Bucket For Your Telehandler

The ideal bucket depends on:

  • Machine lifting capacity (e.g. 2.6 t vs 6 t telehandler)
  • Material density (wet sand weighs much more than mulch)
  • Required bucket volume
  • Attachment interface (manufacturer-specific quick hitch)
  • Intended application (construction, mining, agriculture or waste handling)

For example, a 2.5 m³ bucket full of wet sand could weigh well over 4 tonnes, which may exceed the rated capacity of many telehandlers. Conversely, that same bucket filled with mulch or grain may be well within the machine’s lifting limits.

Buckets for Telehandlers – Frequently Asked Questions

What types of telehandler Buckets are available?

Telehandler buckets are available in a range of designs to suit different materials and applications, including general purpose buckets, light material buckets, heavy-duty buckets and inert material buckets. Choosing the right bucket depends on the material being handled, the required bucket capacity and your telehandler’s lifting capability.

The right telehandler bucket should be selected based on your machine’s rated lifting capacity, the density of the material being handled and the intended application. For example, light material buckets are ideal for mulch, grain and compost, while heavy-duty or inert material buckets are better suited to sand, gravel, soil and other dense construction materials.

Telehandler buckets are commonly used for loading, transporting and placing loose materials across construction, mining, agriculture and industrial sites. They are ideal for handling sand, gravel, soil, aggregate, mulch, grain, compost and demolition materials, making them one of the most versatile telehandler attachments available.
