Different types of excavator buckets

An excavator is a large machine with a long arm. Construction cranes are super big helpers that lift and move stuff. Take an excavator, for example, you may be able to see how much work it can do. The bucket is one of the most vital components of an excavator. The bucket is what excavates and picks up materials. There are different types of buckets available, and Loonsin has several options to choose from. Now, let’s breakdown the different types of buckets and how they work! 

General Purpose Bucket: This is the most common excavator parts you will come across. It has a rounded shape that makes it adaptable. You can use it for a lot of different work, such as digging and transporting materials. 

Trenching bucket: This type of bucket is much longer and narrower than a general purpose bucket. This machine is used to dig trenches, or ditches, which are long, deep holes. This makes it ideal for jobs installing underground pipes or cables.

How different buckets cater to unique excavation needs

Skeleton bucket: This bucket has teeth with gaps between them, so it's a bit special. These gaps enable bigger bits of debris to be sifted out while also retaining small materials. So that’s really good if you're digging through different size materials to be able to separate it. 

Thumb attachments: Thumbs are additional tools that can be added to the bucket. They assist in lifting and transporting larger objects that might be too heavy to lift solely with the bucket. This simplifies it up for handling arduous materials.
