Poertequip paint quality?

[livestock 1]

To be fair it's only too narrow for your size of bucket, there's no such thing as a standard telehandler bucket.

There is actually. 7’6” bucket there’s thousands of them

Not so sure about good design either. Top hangs low in middle, on ours meaning standing rain on top. Let's not start on the adjuster slides that you need a hammer to move (from inside), or the midway stiffener that you have to climb out and over to adjust the other end of the slide. Or the fact that it is 4" too narrow for a telehandler bucket, meaning you always spill some.
Should have bought the Watson, but didn't 'cos it was few shillings more money

Guess that’s the market space they’ve targeted.
Tight gits that buy of price alone. Pile em high, sell em cheap. Plenty more customers like those along in a minute
Marshall trailers used to be like that. Not so now. Plenty room in the market for everyone when they all have a different customer base to go at.

Got a mobile Portequip cattle handling race here which has pretty good paintwork for being 12 years old.
It’s certainly not lacking in the heaviness of the steelwork but amazing how many of them you see with a different manufacturers headstock on them. Had to cut into the box section of mine to weld internal hinge mechanism. More poor design of the the self catching yoke rather than the crate itself.
