Buckets & Ground-Engaging Attachments
Loader Bucket
Wheel loader bucket in general purpose, light material and high-tip forms, sized from the machine's tipping load and the density of the stockpile.
Features
- General purpose profile for mixed aggregate, with a bolt-on edge and replaceable side cutters.
- Light material version with a larger volume for woodchip, compost and similar low-density loads.
- High-tip version that raises discharge height for loading high-sided vehicles, at some cost in breakout force.
- Bolt-on teeth or a straight edge, depending on whether the loader digs into a face or works a prepared pile.
- Sized against the loader's tipping load with the material's actual density, not its nominal capacity.

|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity, heaped | 0.80 - 6.00 | m3 | Volume per pass into the truck |
| Bucket width | 1 800 - 3 400 | mm | Should exceed the loader's tyre track |
| Suitable material density | 400 - 2 000 | kg/m3 | Decides which bucket form is correct |
| Bucket mass | 500 - 3 800 | kg | Reduces the machine's usable payload |
| Attachment interface | pin-on / quick-attach plate | Must match the loader's carrier plate |
