4–6 Tonne Excavator Scandinavian Tilt Bucket – 1300mm

The 4–6 tonne excavator Scandinavian tilt bucket is a 1300mm-wide hydraulic grading attachment designed for accurate levelling, shaping and finishing. Its extended floor, tapered sides and long, flat working edge help the operator achieve a controlled finish across slopes, banks, ditches and uneven ground.

This model has a 260-litre capacity and an attachment weight of 264kg, providing useful coverage for landscaping, drainage, civil engineering and general groundworks. It is manufactured using abrasion-resistant steel and incorporates reinforced wear bars alongside a 20 × 150mm HB400 cutting edge.

Each bucket is finished to suit the confirmed excavator or quick-hitch linkage. If you are uncertain about compatibility, send us your machine and hitch details before ordering.

4–6 Tonne Scandinavian Tilt Bucket Specifications

Where This 1300mm Tilt Bucket Works Best

The 1300mm working width allows excavators in the 4–6 tonne class to cover a useful area with each pass while retaining the control needed for detailed shaping. The hydraulic tilt function also allows the working angle to be adjusted without repeatedly repositioning the excavator.

This makes the attachment particularly useful when the machine is working across a slope, alongside a ditch or around an obstruction where it cannot be positioned directly in line with the surface.

Typical applications include:

• Grading and levelling soil or sub-base
• Forming and maintaining drainage ditches
• Shaping banks, slopes, verges and embankments
• Landscaping and final ground preparation
• Spreading topsoil, aggregate and loose material
• Finishing around kerbs, foundations and service routes
• Creating transitions between different ground levels
• Roadside and civil-engineering finishing work
• Final site preparation following excavation

This attachment is primarily designed for grading, shaping and finishing. For trenching, foundations or breaking into compacted material, use a dedicated excavator digging bucket.

Scandinavian Tilt Bucket or Fixed Grading Bucket?

A conventional fixed grading or ditching bucket is a practical and economical option for straightforward levelling, loose-material handling and ditch clearance. It works well when the excavator can be positioned squarely in relation to the surface.

A Scandinavian tilt bucket adds hydraulic angle adjustment alongside its extended floor and tapered side profile. This gives the operator more flexibility when shaping slopes, trimming banks or finishing ground without constantly repositioning the machine.

Neither attachment replaces a narrower toothed bucket when excavating hard or compacted ground. The correct choice depends on whether the main task is digging, straightforward levelling or more detailed angled grading.

Excavator and Quick-Hitch Compatibility

Excavator buckets are not universal. Although this model is intended for machines in the 4–6 tonne class, excavators with similar operating weights can use different pin dimensions, linkage widths and quick-hitch systems.

Please provide the following information when ordering:

• Excavator make and model
• Machine operating weight
• Quick-hitch or coupler make and model
• Pin diameter
• Pin-centre measurement
• Internal dipper or linkage width
• Clear photographs of the hitch or an existing bucket where possible

Machine weight should only be treated as an initial guide. The complete linkage specification must be confirmed before manufacture. If you cannot provide the measurements, complete our attachment fitment and quotation form.

Hydraulic Requirements

This is a hydraulic attachment, so the excavator must have a suitable auxiliary hydraulic service. Hydraulic requirements and connection arrangements can vary between excavators, quick hitches and existing machine setups.

Please confirm the machine model and hydraulic connection details before ordering. Do not assume that hoses, couplings or additional installation components are included unless they are specifically shown on your quotation.

Delivery and Ordering

This Scandinavian tilt bucket is finished to suit the confirmed excavator or quick-hitch linkage. The usual fulfilment target is within 7–10 working days, although factory workload, linkage requirements and immediate stock availability can affect the delivery date.

If the attachment is needed for a particular project, please contact us before ordering so the current lead time can be confirmed.

4–6 Tonne Scandinavian Tilt Bucket FAQs

How wide is this Scandinavian tilt bucket?

This model has a working width of 1300mm, equivalent to approximately 51.2 inches.

What is the bucket capacity?

The bucket has a capacity of 260 litres, providing useful coverage for grading, landscaping and handling loose material.

How much does the bucket weigh?

The empty attachment weighs 264kg. The excavator manufacturer’s attachment limits, lifting capacity and stability guidance should be checked before use.

Does this bucket require hydraulics?

Yes. This is a hydraulic tilt bucket, so the excavator must have a suitable auxiliary hydraulic service. The exact connections should be confirmed for the individual machine before ordering.

Will it fit every 4–6 tonne excavator?

No. Excavators and quick hitches within the same weight class can use different linkage dimensions. The machine model, hitch type, pin diameter, pin centres and linkage width must be confirmed.

Does this model have wear bars?

Yes. The 4–6 tonne model includes reinforced wear bars for additional protection in areas exposed to regular ground contact and abrasion.

Can this bucket be used for digging?

It can collect loose material and complete light shaping work, but it is not intended to replace a toothed digging bucket for trenching or aggressive excavation in compacted ground.

What information is needed when ordering?

Provide the excavator make and model, operating weight, quick-hitch details, linkage measurements and hydraulic connection information. Photographs of the hitch and existing connections can also help confirm compatibility.
