How To Rotate Leeds From A Loader Bucket
Gary Oberg, Arlington, Wash: “Most forklifts have a hole burned into the end of one or both forks for lifting with a chain. That works okay, but if the lifted item needs to be rotated it can be a problem.

    “To allow heavy loads to be rotated, carefully cut apart a chain binder, keeping the ball and socket-hook assembly. Weld one end of a short length of chain onto it and weld a 1/2 grade 5 or grade 8 bolt to the chain’s other end. Then run the top end of the assembly up through the hole in the fork and insert the bolt, which will allow the entire assembly to swivel.”
