Key Features

Increased Ear Angle Geometry

This design modification alters the attachment mounting position to achieve maximum dump height clearance during material handling. It provides extra lift headroom when loading high-sided transport trucks or tipping over steep embankment slopes.

Wide Anti-Sinking Profile

The wide and flat base design distributes machine weight evenly across soft or saturated ground profiles. This structural layout prevents the bucket from sinking or tipping during levelling work, ensuring a uniform surface finish.

Hardened Steel Local Reinforcement

High wear sections, including the wear plate, side cutters, and the weld-in cutting edge, are reinforced with hardened steel. This additional material layer prevents structural abrasion and fatigue when cutting through compact dirt or heavy sand.

Short Tip Radius Design

The short distance from the hitch pin to the cutting edge increases the mechanical advantage and breakout force of the excavator. This geometry minimises drag against the machine arms, leading to smoother grading cycles and reduced hourly fuel burn.

Reversible Bolt-On Wear Edge

Operators can configure the unit with an optional reversible bolt-on cutting edge to protect the permanent base blade. This sacrificial wear plate can be unbolted and flipped over once worn, effectively doubling the lifespan of the tool before workshop attention is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

These broad attachments are built for bulk loading, ground levelling, slope excavation, and backfilling applications. The wider, flatter profile makes them the primary tool for shifting high volumes of loose material or cleaning up flat surface batters.

The increased ear angle changes the physical geometry between the bucket and the excavator arms to maximise total dump height. This adjustment allows operators to clear high truck coamings and drop material cleanly without hitting the sides of the transport vehicle.

The unique flat-bottom design is engineered to distribute structural load evenly across loose or soft ground surfaces. This footprint prevents the attachment from sinking on one side or tipping forward, allowing for steady grading and batter work.

Yes. While standard profiles are stored at the Oxley hub, the local Brisbane fabrication workshop builds customised attachments to any width requested. The engineering team utilises the dual 10-tonne overhead cranes to fabricate heavy-duty designs up to and exceeding 100 tonnes.

To resist continuous abrasion, hardened steel is welded directly onto sections subjected to severe friction. This targeted reinforcement covers the main base wear plate, the integrated side cutters, and the primary weld-in blade or cutting edge.

Yes. Every mud bucket can be configured with a reversible bolt-on wear edge or an optional bolt-on cutting edge. This component protects the permanent structural blade and can be reversed when worn to extend the operational field life of the attachment.
