The HLA Attachments MB96 Regular Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket is a 96-inch material bucket designed for everyday loading, carrying, levelling, and cleanout work. Configured with HLA’s BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick attach, this bucket combines a practical 28.6 cu. ft. SAE heaped capacity with reinforced construction and a self-cleaning profile. Its flat top provides a convenient visual level indicator, while the reinforced round back and tapered end plates promote easy filling, efficient material release, and reduced buildup.
The MB96 is built with 3/16-inch bucket material and 1/4-inch end plates for dependable regular-duty performance. A reinforced top lip strengthens the upper edge, while the reinforced round back and end plates help the bucket withstand routine material-handling demands. The round-back design also supports smooth filling and easier cleanout when working with loose material.
At the working edge, a 3/4 x 4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a durable contact surface for loading and levelling. The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be adapted for specific applications or replaced as wear occurs.
With a 96-inch inside width, approximately 98-inch outside width, 28-inch depth, and 25-inch height, the MB96 offers broad material coverage in a manageable regular-duty bucket format. Its struck capacity is 22.5 cu. ft., while its SAE heaped capacity is 28.6 cu. ft.
Tapered, self-cleaning end plates help reduce material buildup along the sides of the bucket. The reinforced round back encourages material to enter and leave the bucket smoothly, making the design suitable for repetitive loading and cleanout tasks. Operators can also use the flat top edge as a level indicator when positioning the bucket.
The MB96BO500 uses HLA mounting code BO500, a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for loader models equipped with the corresponding skid-steer-style carrier. Because carrier dimensions and loader configurations can vary, exact fit should be confirmed against HLA’s mounting-code listings before purchase.
The bucket is drilled to accept optional bolt-on cutting edges. Available configurations include a 3/4 x 6-inch double-bevel edge, a 3/4 x 8-inch double-bevel edge, and a 3/4 x 6-inch single-bevel serrated edge. Each listed cutting-edge option includes bolts and nuts. Optional knock-on ripper teeth are also available with weld-on adapters and flex pins. These items are optional and are not identified as standard equipment with the bucket.
