These are some clamp on forks my father and I built. We used a magnifying lense to copy the ones in Northern Tool and made them 2x as heavy and 1/3 the price. NT has them for $450 + freight built of light tube. These have $150 in steel (1"x3" uppers and 2"x4"x1/4" tube) and 2 hours labor. We used 3/4" or 1" seratted set screws for the clamps. The NT forks are rated 1500-2000 lbs. These will fold the bucket in before bending. I have since painted them black with the last 8" of tips painted safety yellow. It helps see them in use.

Enjoy,

Nice work!

I see a lot of stuff in NT, look at the weight/quality vs. the price and think "What the heck are they smoking? I could build that for half of that!"

You just proved it.
 
Charles,
Thanks for the follow up on the forks, that is the same size rectangular tube I bought last fall for my forks, all I need to do now is find some time to put it all together, I"m also putting 1-1 1/2 ft. tall uprights on that will be the verticle for the clamps, (this year"s project: the house).

Thanks,

Adrian
 
If you are going to put uprights on them, make them tall enough to go over the top of the bucket. Throw a chain and binder on each end and around the back of the bucket, and they will stay in place. That's how we used used the set we had for our backhoe.
