Smooth toothless bucket
A working bucket with the teeth taken off.
It loads and it picks up again:
but it leaves no furrow behind it.
Other names for this tool: toothless bucket, bladed bucket, pick-up bucket, straight-edge bucket.

What it is for
Right: on undisturbed ground, the smooth edge slides instead of penetrating.
What sets it apart:
with no teeth, it does not penetrate — it comes after the toothed bucket, never in its place.

It is not the ditching bucket, which is wide and made for profiling a bank or a ditch.
It is a bucket of ordinary width, with a straight edge, used where a tooth would do damage:
a graded formation, a slab, asphalt, an accepted surface.
It also serves for picking up:
loading a heap of sand or granular fill set on a platform, without tearing up the platform with it.
On a site in the finishing phase, it is often the only bucket that stays fitted.
With no teeth, it does not penetrate. Attacking ground in place with a smooth edge makes the bucket slide and tires the curl ram.
The smooth bucket comes after the toothed bucket, never in its place. See the bucket with bolt-on teeth.
On which machine?
A smooth bucket fits all excavator classes.
It attaches to all couplers, via a mounting plate.
What the tool does
Toothless, it is used for digging and ditching.
The volume, the cutting width and the weight: we calculate them with you for your machine.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
It is a passive tool: it needs no hydraulic connection.
Your study sets the exact value for your machine.

If the word “ditch” appears in your answer, it is the ditching bucket you should look at.
- Your machine Its make and its tonnage.
- The auxiliary circuit Its flow in l/min, its pressure in bar, single- or double-acting.
- The coupler in place Its system and its class.
- The work The use, and the material.

What determines the choice
- 01 — The width, taken from the pick-up Here it is the passage and the heap that govern, not a section to be dug.
-
02 — The edge
A bolted blade or a hard-faced edge:
the first is replaced, the second is welded up again. -
03 — The profile of the bottom
A bottom that is too deep keeps sticky material;
a bottom that is too flat empties badly at height. - 04 — The side protections They are what stops the corner from opening out when you scrape along a wall.
What is checked before ordering
-
The surface that must not be marked
A formation, a slab, asphalt:
say so, it changes the edge. - The material to be picked up Sticky or free-running, it is not the same bottom.
- The load chart at the pick-up reach Bucket full, arm extended.
- The interface Coupler designation or pin dimensions.
