Side discharge bucket for use with skid steers

To help construction professionals increase onsite efficiency, Paladin Brands’ Light Construction Group has introduced a Side Discharge Bucket for use with skid steer loaders. Designed by the FFC Division of Paladin, the bucket is offered in two config-urations (and two sizes in each configura-tion) for use with either heavier materials like sand and aggregate, or lighter ones such as sawdust and mulch.

The bucket is designed for use with most commercially-available skid steers and offers a host of features to maximize ease of use and onsite versatility. These include right- or left-side discharge – selection is made by simply reversing the direction of the hydraulic flow from within the cab. Ability to vary the distance material is thrown – again by varying the speed of the onboard hydraulics, and a removable belt cover to keep material weight off the belt and reduce the risk of stalling.

Additional features include a 1/2-inch grouser on the belt of the Sand Bucket and a 1-inch grouser on the Sawdust Bucket’s belt to enhance material movement to the discharge chute; and a direct hydraulic drive on both models’ conveyors as well as on the Sawdust Bucket’s agitator to prevent material bridging. Each configuration comes in two widths: the Sand Bucket in 60- and 72-inch widths and the Sawdust Bucket in widths of 72 and 84 inches.
