Used 4-in-1 Bucket
3 produits disponibles
The 4-in-1 bucket is the most versatile general-purpose used bucket on the market. Thanks to its articulated hydraulic jaw, it replaces several pieces of equipment on the same site: where you would normally have to switch tools between tasks, a single 4-in-1 bucket is enough to load, level, grasp, and dump. At Codimatra, each 4-in-1 bucket comes from the systematic dismantling of our machines and is inspected in our workshop before shipment, offering a reliable tool at a price significantly more accessible than a new model.
What is the difference between a Drott bucket and a Drop bucket?
Drott and Drop actually refer to the same equipment: the 4-in-1 bucket. These are different names used according to the manufacturer or region for the same bucket with an articulated hydraulic jaw. You’ll also hear terms like multifunction bucket, combined 4x1 bucket, or bottom-dump bucket, all referring to the same operating principle. There is no technical difference between Drott and Drop: the term choice depends solely on the supplier's or sector's habit, not on any specific feature of the bucket.
The functions combined in a 4-in-1 excavator bucket
- Loading and unloading bulk materials.
- Ground leveling with the jaw open, like a grader blade.
- Grasping for picking up rubble or bulky objects.
- Backfilling and scraping on fill areas.
- Use in closed position as a standard bucket.
On which sites is a 4-in-1 bucket used?
The 4-in-1 bucket’s versatility makes it especially suitable for sites where needs change frequently from one task to another. On an earthworks site, it allows for stripping a surface then backfilling without changing tools. In landscaping, it facilitates ground leveling and picking up bulk materials. On demolition sites, its grasping function allows handling rubble and bulky elements, reducing the number of machine maneuvers needed. This versatility is highly prized by companies working on smaller sites where investing in several specialized buckets isn’t always justified.
4-in-1 bucket: standard or reinforced version
- STD version: suited for common materials and typical landscaping work.
- HD (heavy duty) version: reinforced bottom and sides for tougher, abrasive materials.
- Interchangeable teeth available on some models for compacted soils.
- Bolt-on or welded cutting edge depending on intended use intensity.
