Work Tool Options to Meet Your Needs
Work Tools for Many Job Site Requirements
An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are
available to customize the machine for your operation.
The list includes: Performance Series Buckets; Specialty
Buckets (Multipurpose, Side Dump, Waste Handling,
Woodchip); Pallet Forks, Millyard and Logging Forks, Rakes
(with or without top clamps); and Plows (angle or V-style).
Each is available either with pin on or quick coupler interface.
Performance Series Buckets:
Load Easy, Fuel Efficient, Carry More
Performance Series Buckets utilize a system-based approach
to balance bucket shape with the machine’s linkage, weight,
lift and tilt capacities. Operators benefit from reduced dig
times and better material retention; ultimately translating
into significant productivity and fuel effi ciency improvements.
Lower Operating Costs
Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily
digs through the pile and provides excellent visibility for the
operators to see when the bucket is full. Less time digging
in the pile results in lower fuel consumption and improved
tire life. A unique spill guard protects the cab and linkage
components from material overfl ow.
Higher Productivity
Performance Series Buckets achieve higher fill factors –
ranging from 100% to 115% depending on the machine
application and material type. The buckets feature optimized
geometry with a bucket opening matched to the machine’s
linkage and incorporate a curved side profile to maximize
material retention. The optimized design results in unsurpassed
production capabilities.
Performance Series Bucket Styles
Performance Series Buckets are available for General
Purpose, Material Handling, Rock, Heavy Duty Rock
and Coal style buckets.
