BF8060 – Backhoe Forks

The AG-GO BF8060 Backhoe Forks are engineered for extreme-duty lifting applications where strength, reach, and simplicity are essential. Rated at 8,000 pounds, this 60-inch bucket fork system converts an existing backhoe or loader bucket into a high-capacity material handling solution without requiring a dedicated fork frame or hydraulic connections. It provides a practical, heavy-duty alternative for operators who need lifting capability beyond standard pallet forks.

Designed for demanding construction, agricultural, and industrial environments, the BF8060 delivers extended reach and load support for long or bulky materials. Its robust construction and simplified mounting system allow operators to maximize the versatility of their existing equipment.

Heavy-Duty Components and Extended Reach

The BF8060 kit includes one matched pair of 60-inch fork blades with welded bushings, a 2-inch diameter steel shaft (up to 87 inches in length), four steel top hooks, and a large washer with hitch pin to secure the shaft assembly.

The extended 60-inch blade length provides increased load support and stability when handling lumber, pipe, pallets, logs, trusses, and construction materials. The heavy-duty shaft system distributes load forces across the bucket, improving structural stability during lifting operations.

Designed to fit buckets with openings up to 43 inches, this system accommodates larger backhoe buckets commonly used in high-capacity lifting applications.

Simplified Installation and Secure Engagement

Installation requires welding the supplied hooks to the top front edge of the bucket. Once installed, the forks slide onto the steel shaft through integrated welded bushings. Engagement and removal are accomplished through controlled bucket tilt movements, allowing hands-free mounting without additional hardware adjustments.

This design reduces downtime and enables quick transitions between fork work and standard bucket operations. Because the system relies on mechanical engagement rather than hydraulic components, it maintains operational simplicity while delivering reliable performance under heavy loads.

Built for Demanding Work Environments

Constructed from high-strength steel components, the BF8060 is designed for repeated use in high-stress lifting applications. The reinforced fork blades and heavy shaft assembly provide durability under load while maintaining dimensional stability.

Custom shaft widths and hook configurations are available to accommodate specific bucket sizes or equipment requirements. This flexibility ensures proper fitment across a variety of backhoe and loader platforms.

By transforming a standard bucket into a high-capacity lifting system, the BF8060 offers cost-effective material handling performance without permanent equipment modification beyond initial hook installation.
