Product Description
NM Attachments Trapezoid Bucket | Model TB Series | Widths 30"–72" | Machine Size 5–32.5 Tons | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
The TB Series Trapezoid Buckets from NM Attachments are meticulously engineered to enhance trenching and pipeline excavation by minimizing backfill needs, thus reducing overall project costs. These buckets feature bottom widths ranging from 10" to 24" and top widths between 30" and 72", enabling the formation of accurate trapezoidal trench profiles that improve material efficiency and streamline workflow on site. Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, the buckets offer durability and longevity for demanding conditions, with optional bolt-on cutting edges or teeth for adaptability to various soil types. Designed for excavators weighing between 5 and 32.5 tons (10,000 to 65,000 lbs), each bucket requires mount specification to guarantee proper fitment, ensuring safe, reliable operation and maximum performance during excavation tasks. This combination of precise design and robust construction makes the TB Series ideal for contractors seeking to optimize trench accuracy while lowering labor and material expenses.
