Excavators are the heavy equipment used for moving dirt and rocks making them extremely useful. They are capable of digging deep into the earth and assist in a wide range of tasks. However, to do this kind of work well, excavators need some special buckets. Possibly the best types of buckets are a V bucket! The BONOVO Group knows that behind every sweat-drenched work day is a set of tools, and a good one at that, so what are V buckets and why are they the best kind of excavator bucket?
The name V buckets comes from the specific shape of in which they are designed. The bottom of the bucket looks like the letter V —Yes, that unique shape assists them in working with dirt and rocks in an easier and efficient way. V buckets are also known as "skeleton buckets" for this reason, they do not have a solid bottom, like normal buckets. Instead, they consist of slats, which are long pieces of material with gaps between them. This design helps the water and dirt inside the bucket to flow out easily. As this bucket is a loose bucket, it does not become heavy. This is essential for improving the speed and lowering the fuel consumption per kilometre travelled, thereby saving both money and energy.
I understand that time is of the essence when you are on a large job. You want to get it over with and onto the next thing. Since V buckets are bigger than regular buckets and store more dirt and rocks, they can speed up the job considerably. This also means you will not need to pause as frequently to empty the bucket which is a time saver. Moreover, the gaps in between the slats allow small pieces of rocks and debris to tumble out as you are working. What that means for you is that you won't then have to spend time later extracting the little bits with another machine, thereby streamlining your work.
When you have a big job ahead, the tools you have at your disposal are essential. It means V buckets are a good alternative for micro, small, medium and large excavators. Whether it is a small project, such as your back yard, or a massive mega project, such as a high-rise office tower, there is a V bucket to meet your needs. Their adaptability allows them to be a great choice for various kinds of construction or digging projects.
At times, you have to excavate very gently so that, nothing underneath is disturbed. And this is where V buckets nail it. The bottom of the bucket has a V shape, so you can cut a nice straight trench that is flat with no bumps or high spots. The latter is particularly important for tasks where exactness is needed, like when putting down pipes or cables. The bucket also has slats to view what you are digging. This means you can take the utmost care to ensure that you do not accidentally strike anything vital such as underground pipes or cables.
For those new to V buckets, you will be pleasantly surprised! After the first experience of using a V bucket you will never be able to use a "normal" bucket again. If V buckets with you can operate a little differently, go deeper, and perform better. They are built smarter andgiving better capacity & precision — making the long run the best choice when it comes to moving dirt & rocks.
