Caterpillar Skeleton Buckets

Used primarily to separate rocks and large debris from soil and sand, the company’s Skeleton Buckets are used by skid steer loaders, CTLs and compact wheel loaders operating in agriculture, construction, land clearing, demolition, landscaping, and scrap handling.

In basic construction, the buckets use heavy steel rods, 1.25 inches in diameter on 3.75-inch centers, to form the floor and back of the bucket. Thick plates with rectangular openings form the sides of the bucket, and a rectangular frame, fabricated of heavy-duty steel and incorporating two steel plate rock dams, strengthens the back of the bucket. The rock dams serve to retain material, reducing spillage and increasing production. For added durability, steel gussets are welded between the outermost rods in the bucket floor and the sides of the bucket.
