Findlay, Ohio-based Werk-Brau Co. Inc. says its new line of extreme-duty excavator buckets have been designed for durability and effectiveness, even in brutal conditions, by featuring “an aggressive dig angle, rugged construction of abrasion resistant AR400 through AR500 steel and horizontal wear strips.”
Werk-Brau says the buckets are made in the United States and available with “industry-leading lead times.” The extreme-duty buckets are available in sizes available from 3/8 of a cubic yard to 10 cubic yards “in various widths, with special designs and capacities available on request,” says Werk-Brau.
The company adds, “Werk-Brau Extreme Duty Excavator Buckets are ideal for demolition work, shot rock, abrasive applications, moderate prying and—when paired with a thumb—material handling.”
The cutter bit on the buckets is made from what Werk-Brau calls “extreme duty T-1 [ASTM A514 steel] material,” while other critical or high-wear components use AR400 through AR500 high-carbon steel for strength and durability, the firm says.
“By starting with robust, dependable materials, the bucket is designed for heavy-duty action and able to endure excessive wear and tear,” states Werk-Brau. “In addition to strong materials, the design of the bucket was also made with durability in mind. Horizontal wear stripes and an extra thick cutting edge backed by a wear plate that covers the entire bucket bottom ensure greater endurance. Side wear plates protect high wear areas to extend the buckets’ operational lifetime.”
