Industrial Strength Performance: Precision Grading for Powerful Machines
The Loflin Fabrication Heavy Duty (HD) Low Profile Bucket is the industrial-strength evolution of the standard low-profile design. Specifically engineered for high-horsepower skid steers and all track loaders, this bucket utilizes thicker, heavier steel to withstand the extreme breakout forces of modern machinery. While maintaining the superior operator visibility required for surgical grading and leveling, the HD model provides the structural rigidity needed for aggressive excavation and heavy material handling in the most demanding commercial environments.
Key Features
-
Massive Structural Reinforcement: Built with a 1/2” thick steel bottom and 1/4” thick steel sides, making it significantly more durable than standard light-duty buckets.
-
Superior Cutting Edge: Equipped with a formidable 1” thick x 8” wide high-carbon steel cutting edge for extreme wear resistance in abrasive conditions.
-
Enhanced Operator Visibility: The low-profile geometry allows the operator to see the cutting edge clearly from the cab, ensuring precise control over the terrain.
-
Reinforced Quick Attach: Features a 1/4” thick back plate with an additional 1/4” reinforcement plate at the quick-attach points to prevent plate deformation under high loads.
-
Two Floor Length Options: Available with a Standard Bottom for maximum prying power or a 6" Longer Bottom for increased material capacity and easier finishing.
-
Three Edge Configurations: * Smooth Edge: Ideal for finish grading and delicate site work.
-
Bolt-On Edge: Features a reversible double-edge design to protect the bucket’s primary structure.
-
With Teeth: Equipped with aggressive pin-on teeth for breaking up hard-packed clay and rocky soil.
-
-
High-Horsepower Compatibility: Specifically recommended for machines 70 HP and above, as well as all compact track loaders (CTLs).
-
Treaded Safety Step: Includes an integrated treaded step for safe and secure entry and exit from the skid steer cab.
