Feed pusher blades are attachments for telescopic handlers, loaders and loading shovels. The attachments can be used across a range of industries and applications, including grain pushing.
B. A. Caulkett are highly experienced experts in the design and manufacture of a range of attachments, including pushers.
Design
Our feed pusher blades are made using the highest quality premium materials. They are designed with longevity and durability in mind, representing a long term investment. The modular nature of the products means that they can be extended, providing variable length.
Our product comes with a standard 8 foot blade and a square box section. We offer the pusher blade with a weld on wear edge, as well as an optional bolt on wear edge. The latter can help to protect the areas of the pusher that are exposed to mechanical abrasion. Not only this but it is easy and economical to replace.
The Right Solution For You
As an extremely experienced company, we understand that every company and operation requires a solution that is tailored to their individual specifications and needs.
A bespoke solution can help to increase efficiency and positively influence productivity
Our pusher blades can be manufactured to any length or blade size to suit your requirements and can be specially designed to be used in a variety specific of applications, for example: grain, fertiliser, coal and biomass.
Pusher Blades You Can Trust & Rely On
B. A. Caulkett is a long established family run business with more than 30 years of industry experience.
All of our products are built to the highest quality and repeatedly tested to ensure that they deliver over and over again.
Our engineers are coded to BS4872, and from inception to completion each attachment is fabricated and manufactured in house by an individual engineer.
 Selecting Feed Pusher Blades For Use On A Loader
When selecting feed pusher blades for use on a loader, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you choose the right blade for your needs. These factors include:
- Blade size: The size of the blade should be appropriate for the size of the loader and the type of feedlot or barn where it will be used.
- Blade shape: The shape of the blade should be designed to efficiently push feed without causing damage to the surface of the barn or feedlot.
- Blade material: The blade material should be durable enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of use and be resistant to rust and corrosion.
- Blade design: The design of the blade should be optimized for efficient and effective feed pushing. For example, some blades have a curved design that helps to prevent feed from spilling over the sides.
- Compatibility: The feed pusher blade should be compatible with the loader attachment system to ensure proper fit and functionality.
- Ease of use: The blade should be easy to attach and detach from the loader arms, and the operator should be able to control the blade with minimal effort.
- Safety: The blade should be designed with safety in mind, with features such as guardrails or other safety mechanisms to prevent accidents or injuries.
Overall, selecting the right feed pusher blade for your loader will depend on your specific needs and the characteristics of the loader and the environment in which it will be used. It’s important to carefully consider these factors to ensure that you choose a blade that will provide efficient and effective feed pushing while also ensuring safe operation.
Key Technical Considerations
- Loader type (telehandler, tractor loader or wheeled loader)
- Working width to match feed passage dimensions
- Attachment interface (Euro, JCB Q-Fit, Manitou, Quick Hitch, Volvo, etc.)
- Blade height and side profile to maximise feed movement
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor feeding applications
Why does it matter?
Selecting the correct blade ensures efficient feed distribution without overloading the machine or leaving excessive feed behind.
A correctly sized attachment also improves manoeuvrability in confined livestock buildings.
Maximises feeding efficiency while maintaining safe machine operation.
Key Technical Considerations
- Curved blade profile for smooth rolling action
- Heavy-duty rubber or polyurethane wear edge
- Optimised blade angle to keep feed close to the feed barrier
- Full-width contact across uneven concrete surfaces
- Reinforced frame to prevent twisting under continuous use
Why does it matter?
An efficient blade consistently pushes feed back within easy reach of livestock, encouraging higher feed intake while reducing waste and labour requirements.
Improves feed utilisation and reduces operating costs.
Key Technical Considerations
- High-strength structural steel frame
- Fully welded construction with reinforced gussets
- Corrosion-resistant paint or powder-coated finish
- Replaceable rubber wear strips
- Heavy-duty mounting brackets designed for repeated daily use
Why does it matter?
Feed pushing is a repetitive operation that places continual stress on the attachment. Premium construction reduces maintenance costs, extends service life and minimises downtime.
Delivers long-term durability and lower lifetime ownership costs.
Key Technical Considerations
- Non-marking rubber contact edge
- Adjustable or replaceable wear components
- Suitable for brushed, grooved and smooth concrete
- Low ground pressure to minimise floor wear
- Stable blade geometry that maintains even contact
Why does it matter?
Protecting expensive livestock flooring is essential. A properly designed feed pusher blade clears feed efficiently without damaging concrete surfaces or creating unnecessary maintenance costs.
Protects livestock flooring while maintaining consistent feeding performance.
Key Technical Considerations
- Inspect the rubber wear edge for excessive wear or damage
- Check mounting brackets, pins and locking mechanisms
- Examine welds and structural members for signs of fatigue
- Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque
- Clean accumulated feed to prevent corrosion and contamination
Why does it matter?
Routine inspections help maintain consistent pushing performance, improve operator safety and significantly extend the attachment’s operational lifespan while reducing unexpected repairs.
Maximises reliability, safety and long-term attachment performance.
