Valby Clamshell Buckets

A heavy duty clamshell bucket with a high penetrating force, and a heavily reinforced body.  The cutting edges on the bucket are made of .63" (16mm) boron steel.  The jaws are sharpened for easy penetration, and close up tight.

It also comes with:

  • enlarged, sealed bushings.
  • a built in pressure reduction valve.

Digging teeth are an available option.

The clamshell buckets have double-equlizer linkage, which distributes the load evenly during the closing of the grapple.
