If the bucket is used as they were intended, to move light debris, cleanup at a job site, or move sand or other light material.
Telehandler's are not intended or designed to replace a track loader, motorgrader or bulldozer.
I have seen the buckets used as a work platform and used like an excavator, both of which are a definate no-no!
Unless you have operators who can use discretion as to the proper use of a bucket, you might not want to consider it. Just my 2 cents
