Take your sorting & bulk material handling to the next level with our Rotating Clamshell Bucket, commonly known as Shell Bucket, Dredging Bucket, Muck Bucket & Cactus Grab. Our clamshell buckets also come in a fixed variation for when stable positioning is required.
Boasting massive capacity of up to 4m3, a robust dual ram design with crossfeed, a continuous 360-degree rotating motor, a case drain, our bucket offers superior closing force & digging strength while protecting the motor & hydraulic system from overpressure.
The Rotating Clamshell Bucket comes standard with our industry-leading 5-year warranty and Free Servicing Kit (up to $2,970 in value) which comes with a seal kit, hoses and rotator seals.
Key Features:
Large Bucket Capacity: Engineered with an expansive volume interior, allowing it to hold significant amounts of bulk materials such as sand, mud, coal and gravel. The larger capacity reduced the number of required cycles, significantly enhancing efficiency. This leads to drastic increases in productivity.
360-Degree Rotating Motor: The bucket is equipped with a continuous 360-degree rotating motor. The motor is designed for durability and smooth operation, allowing for simple repositioning. This improves operational flexibility and precision. A fixed model option is available for specific tasks requiring stable positioning.
Dual Rams with Cross-Feed System: The bucket utilises dual hydraulic rams equipped with a cross-feed system, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure and flow between both rams.
Improved Geometry: The design of the bucket involved improved optimised geometry which includes jaws that are angled to fully penetrate materials, rather than pushing them. As well as this, there are wide clam openings of 800mm to 2,400mm to maximise load potential. This allows for secure and efficient loading of materials, reducing the effort required by the excavator, while also allowing for maximum material capture.
High Clamping Forces: Hydraulic pistons provide high clamping force, ensuring a secure grip on material being handled. The dual-cylinder design maximises closing strength and greatly reduces the risk of load loss. Materials are held securely during transportation and loading.
Customisable: Completely customise the clamshell bucket to suit your specific needs. This includes either fixed or rotating options, capacity options, different coupler fits, different construction materials and additional features such as spring-guarded hoses, quick-release couplers and dual pivot pins.
