Why Choose Bradco Blank Loader Adapter Plates?

Convert Existing Loader Attachments

Instead of replacing a usable bucket or attachment, a Bradco blank adapter plate can provide a mounting solution for converting the implement to a compatible OEM hitch system.

Support Multiple Equipment Brands

Bradco offers adapter configurations for a variety of loader manufacturers, helping contractors and equipment owners address mounting compatibility requirements.

Ideal for Custom Equipment Fabrication

Blank adapter plates provide equipment fabricators with a starting point for creating custom loader and backhoe attachment mounting systems.

Replace Damaged Mounting Brackets

When an attachment's original mounting system is damaged or incompatible, a properly selected replacement adapter plate may offer a practical repair solution.

Professional Welding & Installation

Bradco blank adapter plates are intended for properly engineered attachment conversions.

Correct plate positioning, weld quality, structural reinforcement, and attachment geometry are critical for safe equipment operation.

Before installation, verify the following:

• Exact machine model and production year

• OEM quick coupler or hitch configuration

• Attachment weight and operating requirements

• Proper mounting plate alignment

• Structural condition of the attachment

• Machine lifting capacity and load center

• Required welding and reinforcement procedures

Professional installation by a qualified equipment fabricator is recommended.

An adapter plate does not increase the machine's rated lifting capacity or the attachment's structural capacity.

Big Dave Review

"A good solution when you've got a perfectly good attachment that doesn't fit your loader."

If you've got a loader bucket or attachment that's still in good condition but has the wrong mounting system, a Bradco Blank Adapter Plate may be the way to go.

Instead of replacing a perfectly good attachment, you can have a qualified fabricator install the correct adapter plate and get that equipment back to work.

I especially like these adapters for equipment dealers, contractors, and rental companies that handle several brands of loaders.

The most important thing is making sure you get the correct hitch configuration. Just because two machines are the same brand doesn't mean they use the same coupler.
