Description
The NM Attachments 6HD-16 Heavy-Duty Tooth Bucket is a 16-inch excavator bucket built for demanding digging, trenching, and material-handling work with excavators in the 6–7 ton class. Its high-grade structural steel construction is reinforced with AR400 wear protection in key contact areas, including the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. A CAT-style tooth configuration supports effective penetration in sand, gravel, clay, and similar ground conditions, while the standard C-type lifting hook provides a useful lifting point for handling the attachment when required.
Built for Heavy-Duty Excavator Work
The 6HD-16 is designed for excavators rated approximately 12,000–14,000 lb operating weight. Its 16-inch working width is suited to focused digging and trenching where a narrower bucket can help concentrate breakout force and produce a more controlled excavation profile. The heavy-duty construction is intended for regular use in demanding jobsite conditions, including work involving sand, gravel, clay, and trenching applications.
Durable Construction and Wear Protection
High-grade structural steel forms the primary bucket construction, while AR400 material is used in wear areas that are exposed to repeated contact with the ground and excavated material. AR400 wear protection is specified for the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. These reinforced areas help protect the bucket in high-contact zones during digging and loading operations.
