Buckets & Ground-Engaging Attachments
Skeleton & Riddle Bucket
Barred bucket that separates stone, brick and root from soil in one pass, sizing the split by bar spacing. Used on site clearance, landscaping and light recycling.
Features
- Spaced steel bars in the base and rear that let fines fall through while retaining oversize.
- Bar spacing chosen for the separation wanted, typically between 30 mm and 100 mm.
- Reinforced bar roots, which is where a skeleton bucket normally fails first.
- Teeth or a plain edge, depending on whether the bucket also has to break ground.
- Not a screening plant: throughput depends on material moisture and the operator's shake.
