HLA Attachments - 48" Regular Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket [LA-MB48BO500]

HLA Attachments MB48BO500 48-Inch Regular Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket is a practical material-handling bucket designed for everyday loading, carrying, levelling, filling and cleanout work. Built with a 48-inch inside width and the BO500 quick-attach mounting configuration, it combines regular-duty construction with reinforced wear areas and a tapered, self-cleaning profile. Its 11.2-cubic-foot struck capacity and 13.9-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity make it suitable for efficiently handling compatible loose and bulk materials, while the flat top provides a convenient visual level indicator during operation.

Durable Regular-Duty Construction

The MB48 bucket uses 3/16-inch bucket material together with 1/4-inch end plates for dependable regular-duty performance. Reinforcement along the top lip, round back and end plates adds strength where it is needed while helping the bucket fill and empty cleanly. The rounded, reinforced back supports smooth material flow, and the tapered end plates are designed to reduce material buildup during repeated loading cycles.

At the working edge, a 3/4-by-4-inch bevelled cutting edge provides a robust contact surface for entering and collecting material. The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be adapted for specific applications or replaced as wear occurs.

Designed for Efficient Material Handling

With a depth of 28 inches and a height of 25 inches, the MB48 provides useful capacity in a compact 48-inch bucket format. Its approximately 50-inch calculated outside width should be considered when checking machine clearance, transport space and operating access. The flat top can be used as a visual level reference, helping the operator judge bucket position while loading, carrying or grading.

The bucket weighs approximately 385 pounds. This attachment weight, together with the weight and density of the material being handled, should be considered when confirming the lift capacity and operating limits of the intended loader.

Compatibility

This bucket is configured with the HLA Attachments BO500 quick-attach mounting system. HLA uses the BO500 code for numerous skid-steer-style quick-attach loaders; however, machine-specific fit should be confirmed against HLA’s loader mounting guide before purchase. Verify the loader’s quick-attach interface, lift capacity and operating limits for the bucket, payload and intended application.
