The Invicta Underslung Scoop (Model IUS) is an ideal alternative to a loading shovel, turning your forklift into a more universal asset for moving and loading loose materials such as sand, gravel and top soil. The underslung design brings the load closer to the truck, reducing the load centre and shortening the combined length of scoop and truck — a real benefit when working in tight spaces. Available in two capacities and manufactured in Leeds by Invicta Forks & Attachments.
Key Features
- Underslung design — brings the load closer to the truck for effective ground-level scooping and a shorter combined length
- Secondary locking mechanism — prevents accidental discharge of the load
- Welded wear strip to front lip — reinforces the bucket edge for a longer working life
- Twin bucket release handles — operable from both sides of the frame
- Floor stand — eases entry and exit of the fork pockets
- Zinc plated heel pins — secure, corrosion-resistant attachment to the truck
- Maximum fork section 150 x 50 mm at 683 mm centres — check your truck's forks are within these limits
- Painted bright orange — high-visibility finish for on-site safety
