The APEX Crane Dumping Bucket standard models can safely handle capacities up to 8,000 lbs. The body of the bucket is constructed of hot rolled mild steel and reinforced in critical areas and 100% mig welded for strength. The bucket design permits easy dumping by releasing the lever. The weight of the loaded material rolls the bucket forward dumping the load. The smooth bucket interior assures clean, complete dumping of the materials; the bucket weight distribution then causes the empty bucket to return to the upright position and lock automatically – ready for refilling. A spring loaded handle lock prevents premature dumping.When standard sizes don't fit your bulk handling needs, we'll work with you to create a custom solutions.Located in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, Apex Bulk Handlers manufactures five major product lines -- each with numerous capacity sizes and optional accessories, providing one of the most extensive self-dumping Hopper and Bucket product groups in the industry.
