Used Caterpillar Excavator Buckets: Verified Stock
3 produits disponibles
Choosing the right excavator bucket is essential to maximize your site productivity while protecting your machine's mechanics. At Codimatra, we offer a wide range of buckets specifically designed for Caterpillar machines, from mini excavators to heavy-duty excavators. Each piece of equipment undergoes rigorous inspection, including checking the HB500 steel wear edges and structural integrity to ensure maximum durability.
Which bucket to choose based on your Caterpillar excavator type?
Your equipment choice directly depends on your machine’s tonnage and the type of work to be performed. The perfect match between bucket volume and excavator hydraulic power helps reduce fuel consumption and speed up loading cycles.
Mini excavator up to 5 t: buckets from 0.08 to 0.3 m³
For confined areas or urban excavation, Caterpillar mini excavators (like models 302.7D or 303.5E) require compact buckets. For a 2.5-ton machine, it’s recommended to opt for buckets with widths between 30 and 60 cm. These tools provide the precision needed for trenching or light foundations while respecting the machine’s lifting capacity.
Medium excavator 8–15 t: buckets from 0.4 to 0.8 m³
Medium-sized excavators, commonly called midi-excavators, are ideally paired with buckets offering intermediate capacity. These models strike an excellent balance between digging force and transport volume. This is the ideal setup for residential groundwork or roadworks where versatility is key.
Heavy excavator over 20 t: buckets from 1 to 3 m³
For large infrastructure projects and extraction, heavy Caterpillar excavators (such as the 320 or 336EL) are equipped with high-capacity buckets. These reinforced models can reach widths up to 180 cm for maximum productivity. Compatibility is ensured by sturdy mounting systems like the Pin-On or Cat-CW hydraulic quick couplers.
Investing in a used bucket allows significant savings compared to new while benefiting from Caterpillar’s proven durability. The price mainly varies depending on capacity, wear condition, and coupling type (mechanical or hydraulic).
Based on the used market data, a standard bucket for a mini excavator starts around €400 excluding tax. For more specialized models such as the dredging bucket, prices generally range from €650 to €1,200 depending on width and the presence of a tilt mechanism. For heavy excavators (20 tons and above), an excavator bucket can be priced between €1,500 and €3,000 for reinforced versions.
Beyond standard excavation, Caterpillar offers a variety of buckets tailored to specific applications:
- Dredging bucket: wide and toothless, essential for ditch cleaning and surface leveling.
- Trenching bucket: narrow, designed for laying networks and pipelines.
- 4-in-1 bucket: mainly used on backhoe loaders like the Caterpillar 428, it enables loading, pushing, leveling, and material grabbing.
- Trapezoidal bucket: specialized for creating and maintaining ditches with sloped walls.
The bucket weight is a critical technical parameter to avoid exceeding your machine’s arm load capacity. For example, a Caterpillar excavator bucket for a 20-ton machine weighs about 540 kg for a volume of 0.59 m³. For mini excavators, the weight is significantly lower, facilitating quick attachment changes on site.
