Rotating Clamshell Bucket

Bulk Loading Efficiency

The primary benefit of a Clamshell Bucket lies in its capacity to pick up materials directly from the bottom of a pile. This trait significantly enhances its efficiency, enabling the bucket to load more material than a conventional bucket. The jaws, operated by dual hydraulic cylinders, effortlessly scoop up vast amounts of materials in a short time. Additionally, the clamshell bucket’s tight closure minimizes material loss or spillage, even with bulkier materials.

Intermercato Clamshell Buckets cater to Excavators and Cranes ranging from 500 kg to over 30 tonnes in capacity.

Models and Design

The TMC, TGO, and TCB models are particularly designed for handling stockpiles. These buckets excel at loading tasks—select the model that aligns with your crane and loading necessities. The TGO variant comes with removable side plates, adding to its versatility.

Mounting and Usage

Most clamshell buckets mount through a link - cardanic suspension, though some heavy-duty models are suitable for rigid mounting. The opposing action of the bucket shells allows them to penetrate materials more effectively than standard buckets, which often push contents outward. Clamshell buckets also enable trucks to self-load using cranes, freeing up other site machinery. Additionally, they can scoop from the very bottom of piles, making site cleanup thorough and efficient.
