Types and Application Scenarios of Excavator Buckets

Excavator bucket is an important part of construction machinery, and its performance directly affects construction efficiency and quality. As a GFM excavator bucket manufacturer, we deeply understand the importance of high-quality buckets to engineering operations.

Main types and characteristics of excavator buckets

Standard bucket

• Features: moderate volume, light weight, wide range of applications. Strong versatility and low maintenance cost.
• Working principle: The hinge structure is driven by the hydraulic system to achieve excavation, loading and unloading actions.
• Application scenario: excavation of ordinary soil. Loading of medium and low hardness materials (such as sand, gravel, and clay). Applicable to conventional construction scenarios such as building construction and municipal engineering.

Rock bucket

• Features: Made of high-strength wear-resistant materials (such as alloy steel), it has excellent impact resistance. The bucket teeth and side plates are thickened to extend the service life.
• Working principle: Strengthened structural design, and the hydraulic power system is used to cope with high-intensity operations.
• Application scenario: mining hard ores, rocks and granite. Applicable to high-intensity working environments such as mines and quarries.

Screening bucket

• Features: The bucket has a screening function, which can quickly separate materials of different sizes. Improve work efficiency and reduce the use of additional screening equipment.
• Working principle: Built-in screen, screening operation is achieved through vibration or rotation device.
• Application scenarios: soil improvement, waste sorting. River cleaning, construction waste recycling.

Tilt bucket

• Features: The bucket can be tilted to 45°, flexibly adapting to various angle requirements. High operation accuracy can improve special construction efficiency.
• Working principle: The hydraulic device controls the tilt of the bucket to achieve multi-directional operation.
• Application scenarios: slope leveling, ditch excavation. Landscaping, road repair.

Grab bucket

• Features: Especially suitable for grabbing irregular objects, with strong grabbing force. The bucket body is open for easy loading and unloading.
• Working principle: The grab bucket is closed and opened by a hydraulic clamp.
• Application scenarios: forestry log handling. Waste processing, port loading and unloading operations.

Cleaning bucket (mud bucket)

• Features: wide bucket design, no bucket teeth, suitable for cleaning operations. Large bucket volume, high efficiency.
• Working principle: optimize bucket structure to improve cleaning efficiency.
• Application scenarios: river channel dredging. Wide ditch excavation, site leveling.

Key points for bucket selection

Select according to the construction environment

• Soft soil site: standard bucket is recommended.
• High-intensity operation scenario: rock bucket is selected.
• Material screening requirements: screening bucket is preferred.

Matching with excavator parameters

• The weight and volume of the bucket need to match the excavator power system to avoid mechanical failure caused by overload.

Focus on durability and economy

• For long-term high wear conditions, models with higher wear resistance should be selected.
• Comprehensively consider the initial investment and maintenance costs, and select the bucket with the best cost-effectiveness.
