No Swing, No Spill

Stabiliser arms stop bulk bags swinging loose in transit, so a tonne of seed or fertiliser moves predictably.

Know Where It's Headed

A clear view of the load means you're never guessing where a heavy bulk bag is swinging on the way down.

One Safer Trip Beats Two

Four heavy-duty hooks carry the load securely in one trip, instead of two careful half-loads to be safe.

01
Stabiliser Arms

Heavy pipe stabiliser arms stop bulk bags swinging sideways in transport, so a tonne of seed or fertiliser moves predictably and lands where you aim it.
02
Heavy Duty Hook

A welded, gusseted steel hook is built to safely carry any bulk bag up to its 1,000kg rated capacity, reducing split bags and spilled product.
03
Four Short-Loop Hooks

Four heavy-duty hooks suit bags with short loops and hold every corner evenly, far safer than looping bags over pallet tines where loads can slip or tip.
04
Extra Reach, Same Hook Angle

A short chain lets you crowd the lifter forward for extra reach while the hook angles stay the same, keeping a clear view of the load at all times.
05
Bag Lifter & Pallet Fork Combo

The BLC1000 doubles as an 1,800kg pallet fork, so one attachment handles bulk bags and pallets without needing a forklift or crane.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“I got hold of Rata when I needed a Silage Grab, Forks & Quick Hitch. From past experience I had been impressed with the durability & simplicity of the gear. The Silage Grab has performed very well & the Quick Hitch makes the job so much easier, this one is well up there! Very high rated - so I can virtually pick up any load.
They've definitely helped me out!”

Built for what matters

When you understand what matters, you build differently, you support differently.

Q: What is a big bag lifter used for? A: Hooks onto your tractor loader or telehandler and shifts bulk bags by their loops: fertiliser, seed or anything else that comes in a bulk bag, without needing a separate forklift or crane on site.

Q: What is the weight capacity of the Rata Bag Lifter? A: The Rata Bag Lifter (BL1000) has a 1000kg capacity, and its four hooks are built to take bags with short loops that other lifters can struggle to reach. If you also handle pallets, the BLC1000 combo model adds an 1800kg pallet fork to the same frame, so one attachment covers both jobs.

Q: Will a Rata Bag Lifter fit my telehandler or tractor loader? A: Yes. This page covers the Bag Lifter for front end loaders, but we also make a telehandler model, so it fits the machine you're probably already using for other jobs on the property. Talk to your local Rata dealer to confirm the right fitting for your loader or telehandler.

Q: Does Rata only offer bag lifters for sale? A: No. The Bag Lifter is one part of a much wider Rata range that includes pallet forks and other loader attachments for tractors, telehandlers, skid steers and excavators; along with subsoil aeration and cultivation gear; and the Vogal range of fertiliser spreaders.

Q: Can I lift and carry pallets with the same attachment? A: Yes, the combo version adds pallet forks alongside the bag hooks.
