Bucket design
Bucket types
There are many types of excavators, including mini excavators, compact excavators, diggers, backhoe loaders, hydraulic excavators, cable-operated excavator, front-end loaders, wheel excavators, crawler excavators, amphibious excavators, walking excavators, power shovels, dragline excavators, harbour cranes and bucket-wheel excavators.
How to calculate bucket capacity
Struck capacity is the volume capacity of the bucket after it has been struck at the strike plane. The strike plane passes through the top back edge of the bucket and the cutting edge.
Hydraulic excavator machine classes
The machine classes are based on the machine operating weight. The larger machine, the higher capacity to carry a large bucket and a large load.
Excavator bucket sizes
The excavator buckets comes in many functions and sizes. The General Purpose buckets are the most common.
Wheel loader machine classes
The machine classes are based on the machine operating weight. The larger machine, the higher capacity to carry a large bucket and a large load.
Loader bucket sizes
The loader buckets comes in many functions and sizes. The General Purpose buckets are the most common.
Ground engaging tools (GET) classes
The ground engaging tools (GET) classes, such as bucket teeth systems, are based on the machine operating weight and break-out-force. All numbers are indications.
