Tipping Hoist Bucket Explained

With a tipping hoist bucket you could lift the buckets full of mortar, sand or gravel for example to the level of the building where they are required.

Thanks to the quick release mechanism the bucket can then be tipped over to release its contents. All whilst still being attached to the lifting hoist.

These buckets can also be utilised for taking loads back to the ground at the end of the day. Whether this is rubbish, tools or excess loose materials.

Made from steel these buckets incorporate a pivoting handle for ease of emptying without the need to disengage from the hoist. Simply release the safety catch and push the bucket over to empty.

Of course this method is certainly easier physically when compared to carrying and emptying a standard bucket full of heavy materials, safer too!

Positioned centrally on the bucket handle there is a fixed lifting point for fitting onto the load hook of a lifting hoist. Its central position together with good, even load distribution, means that gravity will remain pretty centralised for good stability. Whilst also reducing the risk of loosing some of the loaded material.
