Hydraulic Excavator Buckets Styles for Specific Situations
Clean-up
Clean-up Buckets are well suited for dirt digging plus grading and finish work. They
feature widths and bolt-on cutting edge systems similar to Ditch Cleaning Buckets, but
with capacities and durability more similar to General Duty Buckets..
Clean-up Buckets are available for 311-336 excavators.
Ditch Cleaning
These buckets are designed for cleaning ditches, sloping, grading and other finish work.
Their shallow depth and compact size make working in confined areas easier. Drainage
holes allow liquid to empty so material dumps more easily.
Ditch Cleaning Buckets are available for 311–336 excavators.
Ditch Cleaning Tilt
Tilt Buckets feature a full 45° of tilt in each direction, powered by two double-acting
cylinders.
Tilt Buckets are available for 311–329 excavators.
Pin Grabber Performance
This bucket is designed with a patented recessed pin to provide maximum digging
performance while keeping the versatility and convenience of a coupler. Tip radius is
reduced and allows up to 10% improvement in breakout force when compared to a
conventional pin on bucket and coupler combination.
Pin Grabber Performance Buckets are available for 315–349 excavators, in General
Purpose and Severe Duty durability.
Power
Power Buckets are for use in abrasive applications where breakout force and cycle times
are critical — and for use in materials such as tightly compacted mixed dirt and rock. (Not
recommended for clay.) Breakout force is maximized due to decreased tip radius and
increased pin spread. Machine cycle times in most material is improved over a standard
bucket in a similar application.
Heavy Duty Power Buckets are available for 320–336 excavators.
Wide Tip
Wide Tip Buckets are intended to perform best in low-impact materials such as dirt and
loam where leaving a smoother floor and minimal spillage is necessary. The bucket is
engineered to be used exclusively with Cat Wide Tips. Corner adapters face straight
forward to create a smooth edge.
General Duty Wide Tip Buckets are available in widths from 24" to 78" for 311–349
excavators.
High Capacity
High Capacity Buckets are designed and built for use in high production truck loading
applications. With proper application and set up, these buckets will move more material
in a minimal amount of passes — maximizing production.
High Capacity Buckets are available for 336–390 excavators, in General Duty durability
