Trapezoidal bucket

These tools are trapezoidal in shape and are mainly of two types:

• The CREATION Trapezoidal bucket often has a greater opening angle and is designed to dig a profiled ditch. The bucket profiled sides allow the tool to turn without bottoming in the ditch being dug.
• The REPROFILING Trapezoidal bucket has a flat part, firstly to smooth the bottom of the ditch and secondly to increase the tool capacity.

The motion of the first type of trapezoidal bucket is similar to the conventional excavation motion whereas, with the second type, the movement of the machine is essential, the tool is drawn flat to reprofile the ditch.
There is also a trapezoidal bucket orientation device (manual orientation of ± 30°). This is used to correct the turret offset, for example when the excavator is scraping a roadside ditch.
Trapezoidal buckets can be customised to meet your needs, as a function of machine capabilities and the materials worked.
A specification sheet is available, to specify the required dimensions.

All our trapezoidal buckets have a conventional beam at the top and conical or flat flanges.
Lateral blades give the bucket a side cutting capability. The basic steel plate is systematically strengthened by the double bottom. Teeth, counter-blade and lateral protections are all options that can be added if needed.
