Express Steel Skid Steer Bucket

Express Steel offers a broad range of skid steer buckets designed for different material-handling and jobsite applications. The collection includes heavy-duty tooth buckets, standard tooth buckets, smooth buckets, snow/mulch buckets, rock buckets, stump buckets, a 4-in-1 multi-purpose bucket, hydraulic concrete buckets, and Wright quick-attach hoppers. This range allows operators to select a bucket based on whether the primary task involves digging, loading, carrying, screening or handling rocks, moving snow or mulch, working around stumps, handling concrete, or performing multiple functions with one attachment.

The Express Steel collection includes bucket widths ranging from 44" to 96", depending on the bucket type and model. Examples include the 44" Express Steel Stump Bucket, 54" Toro Dingo Tooth Bucket, 60" standard and snow/mulch buckets, 66" and 72" models, 78" buckets, 84" heavy-duty buckets, 90" snow/mulch buckets, and a 96" heavy-duty snow/mulch bucket. Wider buckets can cover more ground during loading and material-moving work, while narrower buckets can be useful where machine maneuverability or working-space limitations are important.

Hydraulic requirements vary by bucket model. The collection includes models rated at up to 20 GPM, 15–20 GPM, 15–25 GPM, 17–25 GPM, 17–24 GPM, 18–25 GPM, 20–35 GPM, 25 GPM, and 25–35 GPM, depending on the attachment. For example, several standard and smooth buckets are listed at 15–20 or 25 GPM, while the 66" Rock Bucket requires 20–35 GPM and the 72" Heavy-Duty Rock Bucket is listed at 18–25 GPM. Before purchasing, compare the bucket's hydraulic-flow requirement with the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic specifications to ensure the attachment is appropriate for the machine.

The main difference is the bucket configuration and the type of material-handling or ground-contact work it is intended to support. Smooth buckets are available in standard and heavy-duty configurations and provide a smooth bucket edge for general loading and material handling. Tooth buckets are offered in standard and heavy-duty versions and use a toothed configuration for applications where the bucket needs a digging-oriented edge. Rock buckets are specifically represented by 66" and 72" models in the collection and are designed around handling rocky or coarse material. Choosing between these configurations should be based on the material being handled, the required digging action, and the skid steer's hydraulic and attachment compatibility.

Yes. Express Steel snow/mulch buckets are available in several widths, including 60", 66", 72", 78", 84", 90", and 96". The listed hydraulic requirements vary by model, with examples including 15–25 GPM, 20–35 GPM, and 25 GPM. This gives buyers several size and hydraulic-flow combinations to consider when matching a snow/mulch bucket to their skid steer. When selecting a model, consider the machine's auxiliary hydraulic flow, available working space, desired bucket width, and the type and volume of material you expect to handle.

Start by identifying the job, bucket type, width, hydraulic-flow requirement, and machine compatibility. For digging-oriented work, compare the available standard and heavy-duty tooth buckets. For general loading and material handling, consider smooth bucket options. For rocks and coarse material, review the available rock buckets, while snow and mulch work can be matched with the dedicated snow/mulch bucket range. If you need multiple functions from one attachment, the 72" 4-in-1 Multi-Purpose Bucket combines dozer blade, bucket, grapple, and land-leveling functions and is listed at 15–25 GPM. For material handling with forklifts or skid steers, the collection also includes Wright hopper options. Always verify the specific model's hydraulic-flow requirement and attachment compatibility with your machine before ordering.+
