Why was the CC-MAX designed?
Over the last several years, customers
kept asking Maxi-Lift for a CC style
bucket that would last longer. They
wanted a bucket with more strength,
longer life, and more capacity. They
told us they were tired of replacing
buckets every few years because the
bucket life was less than they expected
out of their buckets.
Why is it better than older CC designs?
There are several key reasons why the
CC-MAX is better than previous designs.
With 20%+ thicker front lip corners, the
bucket will last longer, maintain
capacity longer, and give you the
toughness to handles today's harsher
applications. The bucket is also
designed with more capacity to help you
move more bulk material faster within
the same bucket elevator.

Why are the corners and lip thicker?
The front corners and front lip are
20% thicker to give you longer life.
When a bucket wears, the front lip and
corners take the most abuse. As your
bucket wears, these areas will wear down
to a point in which the entire front lip
will rip out of the bucket leaving you
with little or no capacity. The CC-MAX
eliminates these problems by giving you
more material in the places the bucket
wears out first.
How do I get more capacity with the CC-MAX?
The
CC-MAX is designed to maximize the capacity of
the bucket. It gives you a little more capacity
from the start and helps maintain rated capacity
longer. Since the corners and front lip do not
wear as fast as other CC buckets, it maintains
your elevator capacity longer.
How
will the CC-MAX discharge?
The CC-MAX is built on the same principles as
the original CC metal elevator buckets that were
designed by KI-Willis in the early 1950’s. With
straight sides, curved bottom, and precise exit
angle, the buckets will discharge correctly over
a wide range of speeds and pulley’s sizes.
What material is the CC-MAX made from?
The CC-MAX is made from three different
materials - Prime Virgin Polyethylene, Du Pont
ST Zytel Nylon, and Urethane. Each material
provides different bucket characteristics to
guarantee longer life, and less breakage. See
material chart for more details on which
material is right for your application.
