6–10 Tonne Excavator Scandinavian Tilt Bucket – 1500mm

The 6–10 tonne excavator Scandinavian tilt bucket is a 1500mm-wide hydraulic attachment designed for controlled grading, shaping and finishing. Its extended floor, tapered sides and long, flat working edge help operators form slopes, trim banks, maintain ditches and achieve an accurate finish across uneven ground.

This model has a 400-litre capacity and weighs 390kg, providing substantial coverage for landscaping, drainage, roadwork, civil engineering and general groundworks. It is manufactured using abrasion-resistant steel, with reinforced wear bars and a 20 × 150mm HB400 cutting edge for additional durability.

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

6–10 Tonne Scandinavian Tilt Bucket Specifications

Where This 1500mm Tilt Bucket Works Best

The 1500mm working width allows excavators in the 6–10 tonne class to cover a substantial area with each pass. The hydraulic tilt function lets the operator adjust the working angle without repeatedly repositioning the excavator, making it especially useful on slopes and restricted sites.

Its Scandinavian-style profile is suited to work where accuracy and surface finish are more important than aggressive excavation.

Typical applications include:

• Grading and levelling soil, stone and sub-base
• Shaping banks, slopes, verges and embankments
• Constructing and maintaining drainage ditches
• Landscaping and final ground preparation
• Spreading topsoil, aggregate and loose materials
• 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, choose a dedicated excavator digging bucket.

Scandinavian Tilt Bucket or Fixed Grading Bucket?

A conventional fixed grading or ditching bucket is a practical option for straightforward levelling, loose-material handling and ditch clearance. It works particularly 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 provides greater control when trimming banks, following changing ground levels or finishing slopes without constantly repositioning the machine.

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

Excavator and Quick-Hitch Compatibility

Excavator buckets are not universal. Although this model is intended for machines in the 6–10 tonne class, machines 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 bucket requires a suitable auxiliary hydraulic service to operate its tilt function. Hydraulic connections can vary between machines, quick hitches and existing attachment setups.

Please provide details or photographs of the machine’s hydraulic connections before ordering. Do not assume that hoses, couplings or installation components are included unless they are specifically listed 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 stock availability can affect the final delivery date.

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

6–10 Tonne Scandinavian Tilt Bucket FAQs

How wide is this Scandinavian tilt bucket?

This model has a working width of 1500mm, equivalent to approximately 59.1 inches.

What is the bucket capacity?

The bucket has a capacity of 400 litres, providing substantial coverage for grading, landscaping and handling loose material.

How much does the bucket weigh?

The empty attachment weighs 390kg. The excavator manufacturer’s attachment limits, lifting capacity and stability guidance should be checked before use.

Does this bucket require hydraulics?

Yes. The excavator must have a suitable auxiliary hydraulic service. The required connections should be confirmed for the individual machine before ordering.

Will it fit every 6–10 tonne excavator?

No. Excavators and quick hitches within the same carrier 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 6–10 tonne model includes reinforced wear bars to protect areas exposed to frequent ground contact and abrasion.

Can this bucket be used for digging?

It can collect loose material and undertake light shaping, 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.
