When it comes to excavator buckets, many might think "the bigger, the better" to boost work efficiency. However, this is not the case. The right bucket capacity depends on matching it with the excavator's tonnage—a key factor often emphasized by technicians at ST Machinery Manufacturing company.

A bucket that’s too small for the excavator will reduce operational efficiency, as it requires more cycles to complete the same amount of work, wasting time and fuel. Conversely, an overly large bucket can exceed the machine’s load capacity, straining the hydraulic system, causing excessive fuel consumption, and even damaging structural components over time.

To avoid these issues, it’s crucial to follow the recommended bucket capacity range provided by excavator manufacturers. For example, a 20-ton excavator typically works best with a bucket ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 cubic meters. This balance ensures optimal performance, extends equipment lifespan, and maximizes productivity.

At ST Machinery Manufacturing company, we understand that selecting the right excavator bucket is vital for efficient and safe operations. Our range of buckets is designed to match various excavator tonnages, ensuring that each piece of equipment performs at its best.
