MAXI-LIFT BUCKETS HELP NEBRASKA GRAIN COOPERATIVE INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND THROUGHPUT

WHAT IS A DIGGER BUCKET?

A digger bucket is a slightly oversized bucket spaced intermittently between segments of plastic buckets. The digger bucket is made of a more impact and abrasion resistant material than the plastic buckets. Digger buckets are designed to be approximately ¼” larger in both width and projection to clear a path through the boot section of the elevator. Digger buckets help to minimize wear of plastic buckets by allowing them to travel through the boot section of the bucket elevator through a trail that is mostly clear of material. Digger buckets are typically spaced as every 8th or 10th bucket on the belt or chain.
