Digger buckets are controlled by the machine’s operator in its cabin.ĭifferent digger buckets are used to assist the operator depending on the type of work that is being undertaken. These buckets are designed to puncture/scrape and collect earth, which then can be moved to an alternative location. What is a digger bucket?Ī digger bucket is a removable attachment from a diggers arm. Where do you start? What’s available and what is going to be best for the work you have planned? Therefore, in this article, we will take you through the most common types of digger buckets, along with their roles in helping make your job as efficient as possible. Whether you have selected a small micro digger or a 20-ton excavator, we all won’t get far, without marrying them up with the right style bucket. If you are considering different bucket styles or even bucket functions, then hopefully you have already decided on the perfect excavator for the job. This will allow us to keep a stock of these standard/universal hitches that we can then adapt to suit the attachment that you need, and ship with a shorter lead time.Digger buckets are one of the most important accessories to choose after selecting an excavator. The pin center will be slightly different from the OEM dimension, but the difference shouldn’t make much of a difference in most cases. Also manually pinned on attachments will be able to be pinned on normally. This means most hydraulic couplers will be able to pick up this center to center measurement. For machine’s with a narrower stick, we will provide a shim kit in order to achieve a slim fit.įor the pin centers, we have averaged all the pin centers measurements for machine’s with each pin diameter. We have looked at all the machines with a specific pin diameter and made a standard stick width dimension that suits the machine with the widest stick. For a machine with a manual coupler we will still have to build the mount to suit the specific dimensions. This will allow for faster shipping of machines that are manually pinned and also for machines with a hydraulic coupler (since they pick up a range). And again providing the boss spacing or distance between the ears is wider than the coupler.įor this reason, to try and create faster lead times, we have created a universal standard for each pin diameter. This means that you can usually pick up some attachments that are actually built to suit other machines as long as the dimensions fall in the pick up range of the coupler. However hydraulic quick couplers usually pick up a range of pin centers and pin diameters on the attachment side. A wider space between the ears or bosses isn’t too bad since the coupler will lock the attachment tight in place. The distance in between the ears on the attachment isn’t as crucial as long as it is wide enough for the coupler to drop down and grab the pins. Manual couplers tend to be specific to the excavator and pick up the OEM pin dimensions. However, we can still provide loose pins in case the attachment ever has to be manually pinned on another machine, or the coupler has to come off the machine to be fixed etc. The pins can be welded/fixed in order to prevent more movement/slop from having loose pins. Quick couplers make it slightly easier on the attachment side for building a mount. What does this mean on the attachment side?
