Recycling
Buckets and tools for sorting, screening and moving recycled material.
Standard
CB - Heavy duty hydraulic clamp bucket
A hydraulic clamp arm closes onto the load, and a double pilot check valve holds it shut if a hose fails. The excavator digs, then picks up rubble, stumps, pipes and awkward stone.
Fits your machine
Standard
CB mini - hydraulic clamp bucket for mini-excavator
The hydraulic clamp bucket lets an excavator dig, then its clamp grips material for handling and sorting.
Fits your machine
Standard
DBF - Flat-top digging bucket for quick coupler
The flat top suits excavators that change attachments on a quick coupler. It comes in Economy, Standard, Heavy Duty and Rock versions.
Fits your machine
Standard
DSX - Nordic heavy duty digging bucket
Nordic profile heavy duty digging bucket for excavators from 14 to 40 t, made of Hardox® 450 for rocky ground.
Fits your machine
Standard
GBH - Hydraulic tilt ditching bucket for mini-excavator
Tilts up to 45 degrees to each side, and double pilot check valves hold the angle. Slopes, ditches and banks are shaped without moving the machine.
Fits your machine
Standard
GP - General purpose digging bucket
A digging bucket for everyday excavation in earth, gravel, and loose materials. It is used for trenching, foundation work, and landscaping.
Fits your machine
Standard
GPLO - GPL bucket with perforated bottom
The bottom plate has holes cut in it, so fine soil, sand and water fall through while stones and roots stay in. You dig and screen in the same pass.
Fits your machine
Standard
GPO - GP bucket with perforated bottom
Holes cut in the bottom let soil fall through while stones stay in the bucket. A mini or midi excavator sorts stone from soil as it digs.
Fits your machine
HTP - High-tip bucket for wheel loader
A loader bucket, built to order up to 9 m³, that tips its load a second time on its own frame and cylinders. Light bulk material clears the side of a high truck or hopper the loader cannot reach on its own.
Fits your machine
Standard
TH - Hydraulic thumb for excavator
The thumb grips against the bucket and folds back against the stick when you do not need it. The excavator picks up and holds rocks, logs, pipes and debris.
Fits your machine
Standard
RDBF - Flat-top skeleton DBF bucket on rods
Interlocking steel rods replace the solid bottom, C45 as standard and Hardox® as an option. Soil sifts out from the rocks while you dig trenches, drains and pipe bedding.
Fits your machine
Standard
RGB - Skeleton rod grading & sorting bucket
A rod floor lets fines fall through while stones, rubble and roots stay in the bucket. Material is sorted, graded and reused on site without a separate screen.
Fits your machine
Standard
RGP - Skeleton rod GP bucket
Parallel Hardox® rods in the universal GP profile let fine material fall through and keep the oversize in the bucket. Screening, loading and sorting happen in one movement.
Fits your machine
Standard
RGPL - Skeleton rod GPL bucket
Built on the GPL bucket, with a bent top section for digging and a recessed bracket as an option. A mini-excavator separates material and cleans up with it.
Fits your machine
Standard
RGPR - Skeleton rod bucket
In the RGPR a bottom of C45 steel rods lets soil and water fall through, while stones, roots and rubble stay in the bucket. Material is sorted as it is dug.
Fits your machine
Standard
RIP mini - ripper shank for mini-excavator
Mini-excavator rippers break up hard ground before trenching and foundation work.
Fits your machine
Configured
RRH - Root rake with hydraulic clamp
A root rake with a hydraulic top clamp: it pulls out roots and holds them against the tines.
Fits your machine
Standard
SDB - Heavy duty skeleton DB bucket
The SDB separates material as you dig: soil falls through the ribs while stone, rubble and roots stay in the bucket.
Fits your machine
Standard
SGP - Heavy duty skeleton GP bucket
Built on the GP bucket, with a bottom of S355 steel ribs instead of a closed plate. Fine soil and water fall through, and stones, roots and rubble stay in the bucket.
Fits your machine
Standard
SGPL - Heavy duty skeleton GPL bucket for mini-excavator
Built on the GPL bucket, with S355 steel ribs in the bottom instead of a closed plate. A mini or midi excavator separates fine soil and water from stones, roots and rubble in the same pass.
Fits your machine
Configured
TR - Trapezoid profile digging bucket
The sloped side walls form the ditch section in a single pass, so drainage channels and utility ditches need no follow-up trimming.
Fits your machine
How to choose
Work through these questions in order, from the material to the machine.
- 1
Do the fines have to come out?
A skeleton bucket has rods where a solid bucket has its floor. Fines fall through the rods and stones, rubble and roots stay in the bucket, so material is sorted, graded and reused on site without a separate screen. The RGB is a skeleton bucket with a rod floor. The RGP puts parallel Hardox® rods in the universal GP profile, so screening, loading and sorting happen in one movement, and it runs on the same carrier and quick coupler as your digging bucket.
- 2
Which rods, at what spacing?
Rod spacing is set to the material you sort. On the RGP the rods are Hardox®, and the shell, side plates and rod anchoring are reinforced for continuous screening. On the SDB the rods are C45 as standard and Hardox® on request. On the RDBF they are C45 as standard, with Hardox® rods and several rod spacings as options.
- 3
Do you dig and sort in one pass?
The SDB is the skeleton version of the DB digging bucket. It sorts as it digs: the fines go back in the trench and the stone goes on the heap. Teeth come in the CAT J series, BYG Futura and ESCO UltraLok systems. The RDBF is built on the flat-top DBF bucket, and its interlocking steel rods sift soil from rocks while you dig.
- 4
Will a bucket drop the pieces?
Demolition rubble, stumps, pipes and awkward stone need something that holds them. The CB is a digging bucket with a hydraulic clamp arm on top, and a double pilot check valve holds the clamp shut if a hose fails. To keep the bucket you already have, fit the TH hydraulic thumb on the dipper stick. It grips against the bucket and folds back against the stick when you do not need it. The RRH root rake holds brush, roots and demolition debris against its tines with a hydraulic top clamp, so you can lift, carry and place the load.
- 5
Are you loading with a wheel loader?
For light, bulky material such as wood chips, compost, glass, recycling fractions and waste, the HTP body is sized for it, with capacities up to 9 m³. It has its own tipping frame and cylinders, so a loader fills high-sided tippers, silo hoppers and bunkers without a ramp. For large stones and debris, the LSF stone forks carry the load on steel rods and earth and gravel fall through the gaps.
- 6
Which machine carries it?
Match the tool to the machine: SDB from SDB-120 to SDB-500 and RDBF from RDBF-120 to RDBF-500 on excavators from 10 to 50 t, 1000 to 2000 mm wide, CB from CBR-120 to CBR-260 on excavators from 10 to 26 t, TH from TH-16 to TH-30 on excavators from 10 to 30 t, LSF on loaders from 2 to 16 t. We build each HTP for one loader and one material. For abrasive material and demolition on excavators from 14 to 40 t, the DSX has a Hardox® 450 body, in four sizes from DS-HD-190 to DS-HD-400.
Attachments by job
Recycling is sorting and moving: separate the fines, pick up the pieces, load high.
Fines to separate from oversize
A skeleton bucket screens as it loads. RGB or RGP on a mini excavator, SDB or RDBF on a full size excavator.
Rubble and awkward pieces
The CB clamps demolition rubble, pipes and stone against the bucket. The TH thumb grips against the bucket you already have. The RRH grab holds demolition debris against its tines.
Light, bulky material into high-sided tippers or hoppers
The HTP high-tip bucket tips at the top of the arc, so a wheel loader fills high sides without a ramp.
Abrasive material and demolition
The DSX has a Hardox® body for abrasive material and demolition work.
