About Quicke
Quicke is a Swedish loader and implement brand made by JOST Umeå AB. Its roots date to the development of Swedish front loaders in 1949, and the present range includes loaders, controls and a broad implement programme. Quicke implements are used on tractors, telehandlers and wheel loaders for agriculture and material handling.
What does Quicke manufacture?
- General-purpose and grading buckets
- Pallet forks and material-handling implements
- Bale and agricultural grabs
- Stone forks and sorting tools
- Front loaders and electronic/hydraulic control systems
Machines and applications
Quicke implements are designed for front-loader applications and are also offered for telehandlers and wheel loaders. The same-looking bucket or fork can have different interface and capacity requirements across these carrier types, so the attachment frame must be identified correctly.
Company and brand structure
Quicke is a brand manufactured by JOST Umeå AB. It is listed separately because Quicke is the market-facing attachment and loader brand used by buyers and operators.
Choosing Quicke equipment
Verify implement interface, loader or telehandler capacity, attachment mass and load centre. For pallet forks and bale tools, calculate the load at the actual centre of gravity rather than at the carriage face. For buckets, match volume to material density to avoid exceeding loader capacity.
Product range in context
The Quicke attachment range includes buckets, pallet forks, grapples, bale grabs, and front loaders. Typical applications include agriculture and land care, material handling and lifting, and grading and site preparation. Compatibility depends on the exact attachment model, carrier size, mounting interface, hydraulic system and intended duty cycle. Compare the relevant product family first, then verify model-specific dimensions, weight, oil flow, operating pressure and control requirements for the machine and job.
What to compare within the Quicke range
Within the Quicke range, specifications differ by product family. Compare the main dimensions, carrier requirements, hydraulic demands and working limits shown below before treating two models as direct alternatives.
| Product area | Typical role | Key specification checks |
|---|---|---|
| Buckets | Digging, loading, grading or material handling. | Bucket width, volume, cutting edge or teeth, coupler interface and attachment mass. |
| Pallet forks | Handling pallets and unit loads. | Rated capacity, tine length, load centre, frame width and coupler interface. |
| Grapples | Sorting, loading and material handling. | Jaw geometry, opening, volume, rotator interface, service weight and hydraulic functions. |
| Bale grabs | Handling wrapped or unwrapped bales. | Bale type and diameter, clamping geometry, rated load, mounting interface and hydraulic requirement. |
| Front loaders | Agricultural and material-handling work. | Tractor interface, lift capacity, geometry, hydraulic functions and compatible tools. |
Where Quicke products fit
Quicke equipment can be configured differently depending on the job. Application-specific geometry, wear protection, hydraulic demand, working reach and carrier balance should be considered alongside the headline attachment type.
- Agriculture & land care: carrier interface, seasonal workload, material type, visibility and quick tool changes often shape the most practical configuration.
- Material handling & lifting: rated loads, load centre, gripping geometry, rotation and the carrier lifting chart must be checked together.
- Grading & site preparation: working width, controllability, visibility, attachment height and fine movement influence accuracy and productivity.
Compatibility and installation checks
For Quicke products, relevant carrier types include tractors, telehandlers, and wheel loaders. A technically compatible attachment still needs to fit the machine, coupler and hydraulic system as a complete installed package. Compare mounting dimensions, operating weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, hose routing and any required electrical or control interfaces before ordering.
- Carrier operating weight and the carrier manufacturer’s permitted attachment mass.
- Available hydraulic flow, working pressure, return-line requirements and the number of auxiliary circuits.
- Pin dimensions, coupler standard, mounting geometry and any required adapter or bracket.
- Overall attachment height, working envelope, transport dimensions and hose routing.
Service, wear parts and ownership
Purchase price is only one part of attachment cost. When evaluating Quicke, check access to pins, bushings, cutting edges, teeth, tines and other mechanical wear points. Also compare parts availability, service documentation, dealer support and the practicality of carrying critical wear items on site. For high-hour attachments, small differences in maintenance access and parts lead time can matter more than a minor difference in initial price.
Information to prepare before requesting a quote
For a useful quotation on buckets, pallet forks, grapples, and bale grabs from Quicke, provide the carrier make and model, operating weight, year if relevant, coupler or pin dimensions, available hydraulic flow and pressure, and a short description of the material or job. Include the required working width, capacity, cutting size or other task-specific target where applicable. This reduces the risk of comparing prices for attachments that are not actually equivalent.
