Rock Bucket | Extreme Service Bucket for Excavators & Loaders
Product Overview
Our Rock Bucket is an industrial-grade attachment engineered specifically for the most demanding applications in rock, quarry, and abrasive material handling. Unlike standard buckets, it is constructed with reinforced structures, specialized components, and abrasion-resistant steel to withstand extreme impact and wear. This extreme service bucket maximizes productivity and longevity while minimizing downtime in harsh operating environments, making it the ultimate solution for mining, trenching in rocky ground, and heavy demolition.
Key Advantages
Exceptional Durability & Wear Resistance: Built with Hardox steel or equivalent abrasion-resistant steel on the bottom, sides, and cutting edge. Reinforced with wear straps or a wrap-around lip to protect critical areas from rapid deterioration.
Superior Penetration & Loading Force: Features a spade-nose or straight center rock tooth design and reinforced side cutters that provide exceptional breakout force and penetration in compacted or rocky materials, enabling efficient loading.
Optimized Material Retention: Closely spaced stump guards (aka teeth) prevent large rocks from falling out during the lifting and loading cycle, increasing efficiency and reducing material loss.
Reinforced Structural Integrity: The main body features extra reinforcement plates and internal bracing at all high-stress points (like the hinge ears and corner brackets) to prevent bending, cracking, or distortion under heavy loads.
Extended Service Life & ROI: While the initial investment is higher than a standard bucket, its dramatically longer service life in abrasive conditions leads to a significantly lower cost-per-hour and a superior return on investment.
Applications
Mining & Quarrying: Primary loading of blasted rock, ore, and heavy aggregates.
Trenching & Excavation in Rocky Soil: Digging foundations and utility trenches where standard buckets fail quickly.
Heavy Construction & Site Development: Handling rocky overburden and site clearing.
Demolition: Handling rubble and broken concrete with rebar.
Recycling & Scrap Yards: Processing heavy demolition debris and mixed C&D waste.
