Excavator Clean-Up Buckets

A typical clean-up bucket includes a wide, flat floor for scraping, a bolt-on replaceable cutting edge, reinforced side plates, and a universal coupler mount for quick attachment to skid steers or wheel loaders. Some models also feature wear plates and wear pads to extend service life in abrasive material handling applications.

A ditching bucket is a wide, shallow attachment designed for grading, shaping, and cleaning ditches, channels, and drainage paths. While similar in profile to clean-up buckets, ditching buckets typically have a curved floor suited for excavators, whereas clean-up buckets favor a flat floor for scraping and material collection tasks.

Clean-up buckets are available in a range of floor lengths from 48 to 96 inches and widths from 30 to 72 inches, with capacities up to 2.75 cubic yards on general-purpose models. Custom sizing is also available to match specific machine and application requirements.

Clean-up buckets are engineered with universal skid steer coupler mounts, making them compatible with skid steer loaders and compact or small wheel loaders across major equipment brands. This universal mounting design allows operators to quickly switch attachments without needing specialized couplers.

Clean-up buckets are built using high-strength A-572 steel with A-514 wear plates and AR400 wear pads to withstand abrasive materials in quarry, mining, and construction environments. Replaceable bolt-on cutting edges further extend service life by allowing worn edges to be swapped out rather than replacing the entire bucket.

Yes, clean-up buckets can be custom designed to any height, width, and depth to fit specific machine specifications and application needs. This allows operators in quarries, aggregate processing, and construction to select a bucket precisely matched to their material handling and clean-up tasks.
