Cable buckets

A bucket for precision digging of narrow and deep trenches

The cable bucket, also known as trench bucket or clay bucket, features a narrower profile compared to a standard digging bucket, allowing it to create trenches of specific widths. The bucket’s long profile makes it easier to work around and under pipes, cables and other material. It has a curved design with sharp teeth or cutting edge that aid in cutting through soil, clay, or other materials encountered during trenching.

A cable bucket is commonly used for various types of construction and utility work, such as laying pipes and cables, drainage ditches and trenches for irrigation systems, sewage lines, fiber optic cables, or for the clean, precision digging needed in various landscaping tasks. The cable bucket becomes even more of a surgical work tool when used together with a tiltrotator. The bucket is high from cutting edge to attachment bracket, which allows you to properly enter the trench without interference with the tiltrotator.

Robust design yet lighter in weight

High grade steel allows us to make a more wear resistant bucket without increasing the weight. The Steelwrist cable bucket features a bent profile, or beam, that replaces the traditional pipe. This leads to increased stiffness while reducing weight and cost. On larger buckets the beam is made from high-grade steel, leading to an even more efficient solution. The bucket is available with or without teeth, and in standard or conical shape.

The cable bucket has:

• High grade steel in wear plates
• 20-30° bucket angle
• Cutting edge in HB 500 material
