Standard Bucket – General Purpose Excavator Buckets
Standard Buckets (also called General Purpose Buckets, GP Buckets) are the most commonly used excavator attachments, suited for digging, loading, and light rock operations. Designed for moderate conditions, they balance strength and weight, making them ideal for earthmoving, site preparation, trenching, and utility work.
At YF Bucket, our standard bucket line is engineered for reliability, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Whether you need a bucket for 1-5 tonne mini excavators or 40-ton machines, we offer consistent quality, fitting range, and optional customizations.
Key Features of Our Standard Buckets
Quality Materials: High tensile / abrasion resistant steels—typical base materials like Q235 / Q345, or optional higher-grade wear steels.
Optimal Design: Standard sidewalls, well-shaped cutting edge, moderate reinforcement to resist deformation under load.
Range of Sizes / Capacity: From small buckets (0.5-1 m³) to larger models (3-4 m³+), suits different excavator classes.
OEM Compatibility: Fits major brands—CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Kobelco, Hyundai, etc. Pin corners, widths, heights matched to machine specs.
Customization Options: Tooth types, cutting edge styles (flat, serrated), adapter/pin dimensions, side plate design, coating finishes.

FAQs (Standard Buckets)
What is a Standard / General Purpose Bucket vs. Heavy Duty or Rock Bucket?
Standard buckets are for softer to medium soils, with moderate rock. They are lighter, simpler in reinforcement. Heavy Duty / Rock Buckets are built for abrasive, rocky, or blasting environments with added material thickness, stronger cutting edges, side protectors, etc.
How do I select the appropriate bucket volume?
It depends on your excavator’s breakout force, hydraulic capacity, and intended work. Oversized buckets can overload the machine; undersized ones reduce efficiency.
Are teeth and cutting edges replaceable?
Yes — most standard buckets have bolt-on or weld-on teeth, and cutting edges / side edges that can be repaired or replaced.
How to maintain my standard bucket?
Clean off abrasive materials regularly, check welds & side plates, rotate bucket if asymmetrical wear, replace worn teeth/edges promptly to avoid damage to other parts.
