Rotating Clamshell Bucket
Take your sorting & bulk material handling to the next level with our Rotating Clamshell Bucket, commonly known as Shell Bucket, Dredging Bucket, Muck Bucket & Cactus Grab. Our clamshell buckets also come in a fixed variation for when stable positioning is required.
Boasting massive capacity of up to 4m3, a robust dual ram design with cross feed, a continuous 360-degree rotating motor, a case drain, our bucket offers superior closing force & digging strength while protecting the motor & hydraulic system from overpressure.
The Rotating Clamshell Bucket comes standard with our industry-leading 5-year warranty and Free Servicing Kit (up to $2,970 in value) which comes with a seal kit, hoses and rotator seals.
Large Bucket Capacity: Engineered with an expansive volume interior, allowing it to hold significant amounts of bulk materials such as sand, mud, coal and gravel. The larger capacity reduced the number of required cycles, significantly enhancing efficiency. This leads to drastic increases in productivity.
360-Degree Rotating Motor: The bucket is equipped with a continuous 360-degree rotating motor. The motor is designed for durability and smooth operation, allowing for simple repositioning. This improves operational flexibility and precision. A fixed model option is available for specific tasks requiring stable positioning.
Dual Rams with Cross-Feed System: The bucket utilises dual hydraulic rams equipped with a cross-feed system, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure and flow between both rams.
Improved Geometry: The design of the bucket involved improved optimised geometry which includes jaws that are angled to fully penetrate materials, rather than pushing them. As well as this, there are wide clam openings of 800mm to 2,400mm to maximise load potential. This allows for secure and efficient loading of materials, reducing the effort required by the excavator, while also allowing for maximum material capture.
High Clamping Forces: Hydraulic pistons provide high clamping force, ensuring a secure grip on material being handled. The dual-cylinder design maximises closing strength and greatly reduces the risk of load loss. Materials are held securely during transportation and loading.
Customisable: Completely customise the clamshell bucket to suit your specific needs. This includes either fixed or rotating options, capacity options, different coupler fits, different construction materials and additional features such as spring-guarded hoses, quick-release couplers and dual pivot pins.
Advanced Engineering: Our clamshell buckets come with advanced engineered features such as high-quality carbon pins, pinion drive rotating motor, heavy-duty cutting edges, case drain and improved geometry.
Replaceable Wear Protection & Spares: Replaceable bushes & pins & a FREE Servicing Kit (RRP up to $2,970 in value) which comes with a seal kit, hoses and rotator seals.

Aussie Buckets were very professional from start to finish with my recent purchase of a Ripper. Great product, price and service.
Craig Drew
I made an initial inquiry to Aussie Buckets from their FB post. One of their sales team got back to me promptly. They were not pushy and quoted me on my inquiry for a bucket to suit my machine. Price was fair and i made the decision to place an order. The process was smooth and great communication along the way. I collected the bucket and was pleased with the way it turned out. Will return to Aussie buckets for any additional needs in the future and also happy to share my recommendations. Thanks to the team at Aussie Buckets. 👍🏼

Slight delays as is expected in the current climate but what was nice to see was the constant communication. Bucket arrived and very happy with the quality.
Chris Matthews
The team at Aussie Buckets went above and beyond to help me decide on buying a Hammer for my 5t excavator. From the numerous phone calls and emails to the warehouse walk through to show me what I would be purchasing. For literally under half the price of the competition for a product that does not disappoint and has a warranty that is in some cases 5x the competition! Thanks guys I will be certainly buying more products from you in the future! Regards, Concise Civil Group

We bought a 1200mm sieve bucket off Aussie buckets for our cat 432F backhoe. The whole team was amazing from the initial enquiries right through to delivery with excellent communication during the whole process. The buckets very solid with great workmanship we couldn't be happier with it. Will 100% buy off Aussie buckets again.
