Ditching bucket

The Ditching Bucket is a robust attachment for excavators and mini-excavators ranging from 5 to 21 tonnes. It is engineered to clear, scrape, and transport bulk materials on construction sites or agricultural operations, facilitating the cleaning and leveling of grounds, ditches, or storage areas. Built from high-tensile steel and reinforced with steel runners, these buckets are equipped with a reversible bolt-on cutting edge.

The round-profile ditching bucket

A round profile is ideal if you handle friable, wet, or bulky materials and want less wear, cleaner dumping, and reduced maintenance.

1. Easier Dumping

   • The rounded shape promotes the flow of materials (soil, sand, manure, silage, etc.), reducing residue stuck in corners.

   • Ideal for low-cohesion or wet materials that might stick to the walls of a flat bucket.

2. Uniform Stress Distribution

   • Mechanical stress is better distributed across the walls, which decreases localized wear and extends the service life of the bucket.

3. Fewer Structural Weak Points

   • The absence of right angles reduces the risk of cracking or deformation during filling or from impacts with hard materials (stones, debris).

4. Better Filling and Handling Efficiency

   • The rounded shape allows for easier filling and better material retention during transport, especially for friable or bulky materials.

5. Suited for Bulk Materials

   • Particularly effective for grains, manure, wood chips, straw, or other light and low-cohesion materials.

6. Simplified Cleaning

   • Materials slide out more easily during dumping or cleaning, limiting buildup in the corners.

The Scandinavian-profile ditching bucket – NEWPRODUCT

Scandinavian Profile – Advantages

The Scandinavian profile features slightly curved side walls and a reinforced bottom, often designed with a central fold or a progressive curve, inspired by the buckets used in Nordic countries for handling challenging materials.

1. Optimized Dumping

   • LThe shape promotes material flow, similar to a round profile, but with an angle better suited for heavy or compact materials (wet silage, dense manure).

2. Better Penetration and Handling

   • The design allows the bucket to penetrate compact piles or hard ground more easily, while reducing mechanical resistance.

3. Increased Durability

   • The design with a central fold or reinforcement reduces flexing and deformation, making it ideal for heavy loads and intensive tasks.

4. Versatility Across Various Materials

   • Effective on manure, silage, wood chips, straw, bulk materials, and even more abrasive materials like gravel or stones.

5. Uniform Stress Distribution

   • Like the round profile, the Scandinavian profile reduces localized wear, but offers a compromise for heavy or wet materials that stick more easily to the walls

6. Easier Cleaning Than a Flat Profile

   • The sloped walls and curvature allow for cleaner dumping, though not as slick as a fully round profile — which can be an advantage for certain materials that need to remain somewhat compacted during transport.

The Scandinavian profile combines easy dumping, strength, and excellent penetration into compact piles, making it particularly well-suited for intensive agricultural work and wet or dense materials.

Available in a left-to-right tilting version – NEW PRODUCT

• High-tensile steel

• Round-profile bucket (or profiling/shaping bucket upon request)

• Equipped with a reversible bolt-on cutting edge

• Compatible with various quick couplers and hitches: contact us for details

• This bucket is designed to tilt laterally, both left and right, to facilitate material dumping, which is particularly useful when unloading into trucks or specific areas on jobsites.

• These features make this tilting ditching bucket a valuable tool on construction sites, earthmoving projects, and other applications requiring material movement and unloading.
