JF-170 forklift bucket, aftermarket

For the construction machines: JF-170 forklift bucket, an aftermarket part. According to the product card, this part is a forklift bucket.

The bucket is chosen for the machine model and mounting dimensions: pin diameter, ear spacing and the distance between the mounting points must match the dipper. The bucket's volume and weight must suit the machine's lifting capacity. Once the bucket is fitted, the pins and bushes are greased and the teeth and edge are checked. If cracks or weld damage appear on the bucket body, work is stopped and the bucket repaired. When choosing a bucket, the type of work matters as well as the width: a wide excavation with a narrow bucket needs more cycles, while a wide bucket in hard ground overloads the machine and reduces breakout force. The teeth, edge and side cutters are checked regularly, as a worn cutting edge shortens the life of the bucket body and raises fuel consumption.
