Hi tip buckets are a type of loading shovel attachment. The attachments are suitable for a range of agricultural applications and can help a company to optimise their day to day operations.
In general, a “high tip bucket” is a type of bucket attachment for a loader or excavator that is designed to lift materials higher than a standard bucket. It usually has a higher back and a longer bottom than a regular bucket, allowing it to reach higher and dump material into taller containers or trucks.
The main operating characteristics of a hi tip bucket include:
Height: A hi tip bucket is designed to lift materials higher than a standard bucket, typically up to around 4 meters (13 feet) or more. This allows it to load materials into high-sided trucks, containers, or hoppers.
Capacity: The capacity of a high tip bucket can vary depending on the make and model, but it is generally similar to that of a standard bucket. High tip buckets are often available in a range of sizes to suit different machines and applications.
Dump angle: The angle at which a high tip bucket can dump its load is often steeper than that of a standard bucket, allowing it to fully empty the material it is carrying into a container or truck.
Durability: High tip buckets are typically made from heavy-duty materials such as reinforced steel to withstand the rigors of heavy use in demanding environments. BAC have 3 options. Ultra which provides high strength and lower weight, Extreme heavy duty for use in harsh operating environments and custom operating bespoke specification
Control: High tip buckets are often equipped with advanced hydraulic controls that allow the operator to precisely control the height and angle of the bucket, making it easier to load and unload materials.
BA Caulkett produce a comprehensive range of high tip buckets, with the solutions manufactured to the specifications and requirements of a customer.
Hi Tip Buckets – Uses & Advantages
A hi tip bucket has a number of practical applications within the agriculture industry. The loading shovel attachment, for instance, is typically used for grain loading. The extra height permitted by the attachment makes it ideal for loading into high sided trailers, which are common in the agriculture industry and can significantly help to increase grain loading time.
