Abstract
The bucket lifting assembly is for use in lifting and transporting a bucket of no particular size via a fork of a forklift. The bucket lifting assembly is configured to attach onto opposing side handles of a bucket in order to lift and transport said bucket. The bucket lifting assembly is comprised of a lateral member that connects with vertical members that extend downwardly and engage opposing side handles of the bucket. The vertical members are able to slide laterally with respect to the lateral member so as to adjust for different bucket sizes. The lateral member includes a fort securing member that is affixed from underneath the lateral member such that a forklift fork is inserted and secured there between in order to prevent unintended separation when in use.
