HLA SBLP48HDT6 48-Inch Heavy Duty Low Profile Skid Steer Bucket
View on hlaattachments.com →
Overview
The HLA SBLP48HDT6 is a 48-inch heavy duty low profile skid steer bucket — the narrowest model in HLA's SBLP series from Ontario-based HLA Attachments. The 48-inch width is practical for working inside livestock barns, tight building sites, and urban utility trenching where wider buckets cause clearance problems. Six ripper teeth assist with compacted soils and frozen ground. The low-profile back improves sightlines to the cutting edge — important in tight spaces.
Canada Availability
Available in Canada through HLA Attachments dealers. Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding.
