Valby Clamshell Buckets

$Call For Our "Below List Prices!"

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.

Cutting Edges

The jaws are .63" (5/8") thick, and are made out of boron steel.
Boron steel is hard throughout, not just on the surface.

Jaws

The jaws are sharpened for easy penetration,
and they close up to form a tight edge.
Also shown in the picture are the holes for optional digging teeth.

The clamshell buckets have double-equlizer linkage (see photos below), which distributes the load evenly during the closing of the grapple.


Both sides of the cylinder have a equalizer linkage, which distributes the load equally when the bucket is closing.


The bucket has joints of a large diameter, so the joints are dimensioned for durability. The large diameter joints have bronze bearings, and every bearing has a grease fitting.


Clamshell buckets available with either hanging mount (left) for rigid mount (right)


V-350 Clamshell bucket with rigid mount rotator and quick attach plate.
