What is a Grab Bucket?

They come in different designs and shapes, depending on what job is being carrying out and what materials needs to be lifted and transported. Most Grab Buckets are now designed with standard teeth to enhance digging performance, which from a distance makes it look like the jaw of a giant.

The whole reason Grab Buckets were created was so that large amounts of debris and dirt could be moved safely, quickly, and easily with little to no issues. Some examples of its use include handling concrete, disposable waste, branches and logs, construction debris, stones, pipes, placing landscaping rocks, materials and more. If you were to try these tasks with a standard excavator bucket, your 1-hour job might end up being 3 hours. This would certainly decrease productivity and excavator efficiency.

Known as an energy saving bucket, the modern excavator grab reduces the running costs and does not pollute the environment. This is because they do not rely on gear pumps and therefore reduce CO2 emissions and the electric consumption. This in turn prevents engine deterioration and prolongs the life of the hydraulic system.
