Abstract
A fork lift attachment includes upper and lower mounting segments for securing the fork lift attachment to a blade of a loader bucket. The upper mounting segment includes a top pad which is attached via a swivel attachment to a vertically movable rod for moving the top pad into flush contact with the top surface of the bucket blade. The lower mounting segment includes a bottom pad attached to a hinge mount for making flush contact with and supporting the bottom surface of the bucket blade. The swivel/hinge capability of the top and bottom pads provide for a secure clamping action which utilizes the entire surface area of the pads.
