Clamshell buckets of the BMO/S line are equipped with a powerful cylinder and a constructive geometry which make them suitable not only for loading, but also for light excavations. Thanks to their compact overall dimensions, these buckets are ideal for truck cranes. The smaller models are intended for mini excavators starting from the weight of 1.5 tons.
Loading aggregates and digging.
Clamshell buckets are gripping devices formed by two shells in synchronous movement, put in motion by hydraulic cylinders. In general terms, these attachments are suitable to load of gravel, sand and earth, or to the dig hard soil and compact surfaces. Depending on the constructive geometry and accessories, clamshell buckets can have a specific application. They can be mounted on a wide range of machines, such as truck cranes, backhoe loaders, mini excavators, agricultural machines, stationary cranes, material handlers, harbour cranes, rail road excavators and so on.
A complete range of accessories.
Clamshell buckets can mount a full range of accessories, which can make them suitable for specific applications. The most common optional are hydraulic rotators, mechanical rotators (free revolving), bolt-on digging teeth, anti-wear counter-blades, scrapers (or ejectors) to clean the shells from mud and extensions of different lengths.
