The Excavator Buckets and their Functions

Over time, machines and equipment have evolved to become more useful to mankind. Excavators and excavator buckets are definitely one of the most needed pieces of equipment in the construction sector today. With these tools, one will never have to dig an area with one’s bare hands. There are several types of excavator buckets in use today. These include

The majority of excavator buckets are primarily used for digging in channels and reflect their design features. Whether for digging in rock, frost or loam, buckets usually follow the rule of form to function. Buckets for digging in mud and soft soils do not have long teeth and are usually blunt. As for frost or rock, buckets usually have long, pointed teeth, allowing better use of leverage and prying power. The width of the bucket also varies. In hard soil or ground, a narrower bucket will apply a more concentrated force to penetrate the ground. It also has a short cutting edge.

  • Another feature of this excavator bucket is the space between the tip of the teeth and the cam of the bucket bar pin. This distance is known as the tip radius and is usually shorter in excavation buckets used for digging on hard ground. Due to its shorter distance it provides better mechanical leverage to fill and curl the bucket. A well-designed excavation bucket will utilise these features to create efficient and durable equipment.

  • Rock bucket – This bucket is a variation of the above excavation bucket with a few design modifications for unique applications. When it comes to extreme ripping and prying of rock, this requires a strong and robust construction. The excavator bucket must have long, sharp teeth mounted on a V-shaped or straight cutting edge. The excavator bucket must be strong enough to concentrate on prying and loosening rock, while maintaining its structural integrity. Typically, these buckets are narrower and have a shorter tip radius than normal excavator buckets used for softer media or materials.
  •  
  • There are many factors you need to consider when choosing the right excavator bucket, these are
  • The intended use of the excavator bucket – find out whether it will be used for backfilling, clearing, digging or cleaning
  • The density and composition of the soil – know if it is loamy, clay or rocky?
  • The brand of the machine – know its weight and power
  • The width of the bucket – know the guard, radius and tip

Excavator Buckets

Product Introduction of Excavator Buckets

Excavator buckets are used to plough through hard soil, rocks or frost covered soil. They are usually attached to the end of a boom and connected to an excavator machine. Excavator buckets can be used for applications other than digging such as demolishing, backfilling, ditching, sloping and leveling
