• a three-pronged rung attachment fork extending laterally outward away from the inner side of the bucket support, the rung attachment fork comprising a longer middle prong and two generally L-shaped shorter outer prongs extending laterally outward in parallel away from the inner side of the bucket support, the outer prongs being radially spaced in parallel from the middle prong by base portions extending at right angles from the middle prong, the rung attachment fork being rotationally adjustable around a longitudinal axis of the middle prong relative to the bucket support between a plurality of rotationally locked positions to place the outer prongs in different planar positions relative to the opening of the bucket support, the middle prong extending laterally a first greater distance from the inner side of the bucket support, and the outer prongs extending laterally a second lesser distance from the inner side of the bucket support;
• and wherein,
• the base portions of the outer prongs are spaced laterally from the inner side of the bucket support.
