Handling and lifting

Big bag filling bucket

A telehandler holds a bucket above a large, open flexible bag, in a farmyard; grain flows from the gate under the bucket, straight into the bag. — The bucket stays level, the gate does the filling.

A bucket with a discharge gate.
It takes bulk material from the heap and pours it into the bag,
at the rate the driver decides.

Other names for this tool: metering bucket, bagging bucket, bucket with discharge flap.

01 Use

What it is for

On the left, the gate opens under the bucket and the bulk material flows straight into the bag. On the right, an ordinary bucket that tips overflows and spills the bulk material around the bag.

**Right:** an ordinary bucket that tips overflows and spills the bulk material around the bag.
What sets it apart:
the gate meters the outflow, the bucket does not tip to empty.

Computer-generated image.

The bucket is loaded at the heap like an ordinary bucket. Above the bag, the gate at its base is opened by a ram, and the bulk material flows out, faster or slower depending on the opening.
The bucket does not tip: filling is done level, and stops when the driver closes the gate.

It is the tool for bagging on the farm and in the workshop: seed, cereals, pellets, fertiliser, lime, wood chips.
It replaces the hand shovel and the tipped bucket, which overfills, spills over and tears the bag.

A big bag must be held before it is filled. A stand or a jib holds the bag open; the bucket alone is not enough.
The useful volume depends on the model, not on a generic figure.

02 Key technical data

On which machine?

A filling bucket fits a farm loader, a wheeled loader or a telehandler, not an excavator.
It hitches via Euronorm.
The loader's lifting capacity, with a full bucket: we calculate it with you for your machine.

What the tool does

It is used to fill big bags.
It weighs from 510 to 620 kg, for a volume of 1,5 to 2,4 m³.
Its width ranges from 2 000 to 2 400 mm.
It is made of stainless steel, to be checked with you.

What is needed on the hydraulic side

Its hydraulic gate is controlled by a spool valve.
A spare spool valve is needed on the machine.

03 Your study

Have your equipment checked.

Describe what you bag and the loader that will carry the bucket.
Specify how the bag is held and weighed.

What we need to answer you

Your loader Its hitch: Euro, or another.
Lifting The lifting capacity of the loader.
The 3rd function Present or not.
The work The use.

Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.

04 Choice

What determines the choice

01 — What is being bagged Fine grain, pellets, chips, fertiliser:
the width of the gate opening and its shape are chosen with the material.
02 — The loader available Coupler, lifting capacity, spool valve:
the bucket is chosen with the machine that carries it, full.
03 — The gate Continuously adjustable opening, outlet material:
an abrasive or wet material steers the choice.
04 — The filling station Bag stand, lifting height, weighing:
the bucket is chosen with the station, not on its own.

05 Check

What is checked before ordering

The loader's capacity It is checked with the bucket full and raised to the height of the bag, not empty.
The hitch and the hydraulics Coupler, free spool valve:
we check that the loader carries the bucket and controls the gate.
Gate tightness Fine grain gets through a badly closed gate:
closure is checked with the actual material.
Weighing Load cell on the loader, or weighing the bag:
exact dosing is decided before buying, not after.
