Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1524 mm (60 in)

Q: What Guarding Options Are Recommended with the AFE Bucket or Rake?

We recommend Heavy Equipment Armor front and top guarding when operating an AFE bucket or rake in land-clearing and forestry conditions. Proper guarding helps protect the excavator cab and operator from falling or flying brush, limbs, and debris.

Benefits of AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1524 mm (60 in)

62 in x 57 in x 59 in Dimensions

With a 1.2-cubic-yard capacity, this 60-inch ditch-cleaning bucket provides compatible excavators and loaders with the volume needed to move larger loads efficiently. Its balanced design supports demanding grading, finishing, and cleaning work without unnecessarily straining fuel efficiency or machine health.

Made from Hardox® 450 Steel

Manufactured by SSAB in Sweden, Hardox® 450 is a high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel built for heavy-duty excavator work. It helps the cleaning buckets withstand repeated contact with soil, rock, and abrasive material while maintaining reliable field performance.

Pin-On or Pin Grabber Coupler

This heavy-duty excavator bucket is designed to fit a wide range of pin-on mounts, pin grabber couplers, and wedge-lock machines. The versatile attachment setup helps contractors connect the bucket quickly and get back to work with less downtime.

Replaceable and Reversible Bolt-On Cutting Edge

The bolt-on cutting edge helps the bucket dig, grade, and finish more effectively in demanding construction and land-clearing conditions. When one edge becomes worn, it can be reversed for extended service life or replaced without changing the entire bucket.

Reinforced Side and Bottom Plates

Reinforced side and bottom plates help protect the buckets from abrasive wear, torsional stress, and structural cracking. This added strength improves durability and helps the 1524 mm (60 in) bucket withstand demanding grading, ditch cleaning, and heavy material-handling work.
