The Clamshell Bucket, also known as a clamshell grab or excavator clamshell bucket, is a versatile hydraulic attachment designed for efficient material handling and excavation. Its unique dual-shell design allows secure grabbing and lifting of bulk materials, ensuring precise control during loading, unloading, and dredging operations.

Constructed with high-strength steel and wear-resistant edges, the hydraulic clamshell bucket withstands harsh working conditions and heavy loads. Available in various capacities, it suits mini-excavators for small-scale projects as well as large excavators for industrial and port operations.

The optional hydraulic rotation allows 360° maneuvering, making it ideal for handling materials in confined spaces, stacking in trucks, or precise placement in landfills, quarries, and construction sites.

How to Choose the Right Clamshell Bucket
