How to Choose the Right Excavator Bucket for Your Engineering Needs
Standard bucket for excavator
Standard buckets, also called an earthwork bucket, are commonly used in small and medium-sized excavators for excavating general clay and loading sand, soil, gravel and other lighter working environments. They feature large bucket capacity, a large stacking surface, high filling factor and low production cost. However, their service life may be limited due to the lack of reinforcement processes.
Reinforced bucket for excavator
The reinforced bucket is designed with high-strength wear-resistant steel to reinforce the high-stress and easy-to-wear parts on the basis of the original standard bucket. They are suitable for heavy-duty operations such as excavation of hard soil and soft rock, and loading of gravel. They inherit all the benefits of standard buckets while greatly increasing strength and durability.
Rock bucket for excavator
Rock buckets are designed for harsh working conditions, including loading rock, sub-hard rock, weathered rock, hard rock and blasted ore. They are made from thickened plates with reinforcement plates and high-strength bucket teeth for enhanced durability. It is suitable for heavy working environments such as loading of stones, semi-hard stones, weathered stones, hard stones, and ore after blasting. It is widely used in harsh working conditions such as ore mining.
Mud bucket for excavator
The mud bucket of the excavator is also called the dredging bucket. It has no bucket teeth and is wide. The mud bucket is suitable for plane finishing of slopes with large capacity, dredging of rivers and ditches, etc.
Tilt bucket for excavator
The tilt bucket has all the characteristics of the mud bucket, and can also control the rotation of the bucket through the action of the cylinder. The maximum tilt angle is 45 degrees. It can be operated without changing the position of the excavator, and can easily complete the precise operations that ordinary buckets cannot complete. It is suitable for brushing slopes, leveling, resting, and dredging of rivers and ditches. Not suitable for heavy working environments such as excavation of hard soil and hard rock soil.
Trapezoidal bucket for excavator
The trapezoidal bucket of the excavator has a variety of sizes, widths and shapes. Ladder buckets are suitable for water conservancy, highway, agriculture and pipeline trenching operations. Its unique shape enables high operating efficiency.
Ripper bucket for excavator
The soil bucket is equipped with high-strength loosening teeth, which is suitable for the crushing, excavation and loading of hard soil, semi-hard stone and weathered stone. They are ideal for specific soil-related tasks with greater digging intensity
The disadvantage is that the bucket capacity is small.
Shell bucket for excavator
The shell bucket uses the expansion and contraction of the oil cylinder to grab materials, making it suitable for excavation of foundation pits and deep pits and loading and unloading of loose materials. However, their digging capabilities may be limited and they are not suitable for hard ground.
Excavator four-in-one bucket
The four-in-one bucket has multiple functions such as loading, scooping, and clamping. Equipped with hydraulic cylinder, automatic unloading, convenient and fast. However, they may not be suitable for heavy work environments and require technical expertise.
When selecting an excavator bucket, you must consider the specific requirements of the job at hand, the work environment, and the type of materials to be handled. Understanding the characteristics and uses of different excavator buckets is critical to maximizing efficiency and productivity on construction operations.
