Excavator buckets are essential attachments designed for digging, loading, and transporting materials. Mounted directly onto the excavator’s boom and controlled through the operator’s hydraulic system, these buckets perform a wide range of earthmoving and material-handling tasks.
Because working conditions vary across construction, mining, landscaping, and infrastructure projects, choosing the right bucket is key to maximizing efficiency and protecting your machine. RSBM designs and manufactures multiple bucket types to match diverse jobsite demands and deliver long-term durability.
Below is an overview of five core RSBM bucket categories, each engineered for specific applications.
Digging Bucket — The Most Common General-Purpose Bucket
The digging bucket is the standard bucket supplied with most excavators. Featuring a classic tooth configuration, it is designed for:
-
General earth excavation
-
Loading soil, sand, and loose materials
-
Everyday trenching and foundation work
RSBM digging buckets offer a balance of strength, capacity, and versatility, making them suitable for the majority of common jobsite requirements.
Rock Bucket — Built for Harsh and Demanding Conditions
RSBM rock buckets share the basic structure of digging buckets but with significantly reinforced components:
-
Thicker wear plates
-
High-strength side cutters
-
Heavy-duty reinforcement ribs
-
Stronger tooth adaptors
This structural upgrade allows the bucket to withstand impact and abrasion when working with dense, compact soil, rock, or hard mineral layers.
If your project involves heavy-duty excavation or extreme ground conditions, the RSBM Rock Bucket is the optimal choice.
Mud Bucket — Ideal for Leveling and Light Material Handling
Mud buckets (also known as ditching buckets) feature a smooth cutting edge, no teeth, and significantly larger capacity. They are commonly used for:
-
Scooping soft soil, clay, and loose material
-
Finishing and leveling jobs
-
Backfilling trenches
-
Loading fine materials efficiently
Their wide profile and high capacity make them indispensable for final grading and surface finishing tasks.
Skeleton Bucket — Designed for Efficient Screening and Sorting
The skeleton bucket is built with a grid or slotted structure that allows smaller particles to fall through while retaining larger objects. It is perfect for:
-
Separating stones from soil
-
Screening construction debris
-
Sorting aggregates
-
Land clearing
By allowing natural filtration, this bucket improves productivity and reduces manual sorting time on site.
V-Ditch Bucket — Specialized for Trenching Work
With its distinctive V-shaped design, the V-ditch bucket is optimized for precision trenching, including:
-
Drainage ditches
-
Water channels
-
Irrigation trenches
-
Shaping slopes or embankments
Its geometry enables the excavator to cut clean, accurate trench profiles with minimal effort.
In addition to these core categories, RSBM provides a full range of specialized buckets customized for mining, demolition, forestry, and construction applications. Every bucket is engineered for: High-strength performance Optimized wear resistance Compatibility with different excavator brands and tonnage Long service life in demanding conditions If you’re unsure which bucket is right for your project, our team is ready to help.
