Werk-Brau has created and shipped its first 6yard bucket for production class excavators.
Designed from the ground up by Werk-Brau engineers, these new buckets feature T1 and AR400 steel in critical wear areas for maximum strength and durability, with weight saving features incorporated where appropriate.
With 20 percent more capacity than a standard 5-yard bucket, which is common for this class, the new heavy-duty high-capacity bucket can load a 30-yard haul truck in just 5 passes, according to the manufacturer.
Eliminating one pass per load can significantly reduce the load-out time and total fuel usage for large-scale development projects like sightprep for commercial construction or a residential housing subdivision. It is ideal for use with the John Deere 470P, PC490LC-11, Cat 349 and other 50-metric ton excavators.
An aggressive dig angle allows the bucket to more easily tear through virgin ground and materials to scoop faster and more efficiently. In addition, tapered side plates are engineered to reduce wear and allow for smoother dumping.
The bucket can be equipped with a wide selection of industry standard ground engaging tools for extra durability. Werk-Brau stocks a vast selection of teeth to choose from.
The tip radius on the heavy-duty high-capacity bucket is to or within O.E.M. specifications so it can be used with any standard excavator.
Werk-Brau engineers worked on the initial design with John Deere dealer West Side Tractor, and its end customer who made the initial request for a larger bucket. Using latest generation CAD, 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FAE), the design team was able to reduce weight yet maintain structural integrity for a long service life. “Efficiency and productivity are the differentiating factors on mass excavation and large site development projects, and this new bucket certainly provides that,” said National Sales Manager Dale DeWeese. “Moving 20 percent more dirt with each bucketload is helping customers finish jobs faster.” Werk-Brau manufactures a complete line of OEM and replacement attachments for excavators, mini excavators, backhoes, mini and fullsize loaders, and crawler loaders. Since 1947,it has been industry leading innovators, designing and producing standard and specialty products for the heavy equipment industry. Its products are made in the USA and sold through equipment dealers and distributors worldwide.

Compaction Cary-Lift 204i Can Equip Scrap Baler
The Pettibone Cary-Lift 204i rough terrain forklift can be equipped with a scrap baler attachment for handling debris and materials in demolition and recycling applications.
The machine is purpose-built to deliver numerous safety and performance benefits, according to the manufacturer.
The Cary-Lift 204i features an overhead lift arm design, giving the operator full front visibility when lifting or transporting loads — a sharp contrast to the lift arms on wheel loaders, which are located directly in front of the vehicle. Additionally, Cary-Lift forks are capable of tilting down 90 degrees for specialized lifting tasks.
The 204i is powered by a 200-hp Cummins QSB6.7 Tier IV diesel engine with DOC and SCR aftertreatment. The unit includes an engine-driven fan, cooling package and engine block heater as standard equipment.
The machine provides a maximum load capacity of 20,000 lbs. and max lift height of 16 ft. Offering 4-wheel drive with 2-wheel, 4-wheel and crab hydraulic power steering modes — and with the wheelbase limited to just 12 ft. — the 204i can achieve a turning radius of 21 ft. 6 in. Unlike forward-reaching articulated loaders, the Cary-Lift’s heavy-duty, solid steel frame design allows it to take full loads into sharp turns without sacrificing load capacity or stability, according to the manufacturer.
Hydraulic frame sway control and side shift capabilities further stabilize loads by leveling the lifting frame when driving on uneven ground. The sway cylinder moves 7 degrees both right and left of center. Dual joysticks provide intuitive controls to efficiently shift gears and control the hydraulics.
An optional feature for the Cary-Lift 204i is X-Command, a new Pettibone telematics program that offers real-time access to machine data, thereby saving time, money and hassle for equipment owners and maintenance technicians.
