Heavy Lifting Equipment

The primary devices used for lifting heavy materials are loader attachments like buckets, forks, and grapples mounted on skid steers or wheel loaders. These attachments use the machine's hydraulic system to scoop, carry, and dump heavy loads such as soil, aggregate, or spilled conveyor material with precision and control.

Common types of heavy equipment include skid steer loaders, compact wheel loaders, excavators, and cranes, each paired with task-specific attachments. Bucket attachments—such as general-purpose buckets and conveyor cleaning buckets—are among the most widely used, enabling material handling, earthmoving, and clean-up tasks across construction, mining, and agricultural sites.

General-purpose buckets are designed for broad material handling and earthmoving tasks, featuring a standard profile ideal for scooping and transporting loose materials. Conveyor cleaning buckets have a longer, low-profile floor design specifically engineered to clear spilled materials from beneath conveyor systems in quarry, mining, and aggregate processing operations.

Our heavy lifting buckets are constructed from A-572 high-strength steel with A-514 wear plates and AR400 wear pads, providing superior resistance to abrasion and impact. Cutting edges are replaceable AR400 bolt-on components, extending service life and simplifying maintenance in high-wear applications like construction and quarry operations.

Yes. Buckets such as our GP Buckets can be custom designed to any height, width, and depth to match your specific machine and application. All attachments feature universal coupler mounts, ensuring compatibility with skid steers, compact wheel loaders, and small wheel loaders from major equipment brands.

Routine maintenance includes inspecting and replacing bolt-on cutting edges once worn, checking wear plates and pads for damage, and ensuring the coupler mount remains secure. Because our buckets use replaceable AR400 wear components, operators can extend service life without replacing the entire bucket.
