Description

NM Attachments 48" Class 8 Hydraulic Tilt Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a purpose-built hydraulic tilt ditching bucket for excavators in the 14,000–24,000 lb operating-weight range, approximately 7–12 tons. With a 48-inch working width and published 0.45 cu yd capacity, it is designed for ditch cleaning and grading applications where controlled bucket positioning is important. The hydraulic tilt system provides 90 degrees of total rotation—45 degrees in each direction—helping operators work across slopes, ditch banks, and angled surfaces without repositioning the excavator as frequently. A dual-cylinder design supports the hydraulic tilt function, while high-grade structural steel and AR400 wear steel in key wear areas provide a robust configuration for demanding excavation work.

Hydraulic Tilt Ditching Performance

The 8HTD-48 combines the working width of a ditching bucket with hydraulic angle adjustment. Its 90-degree total tilt range allows the bucket to rotate 45 degrees to either side, supporting angled ditch profiles, slope shaping, and grading work. Hydraulic adjustment can help maintain the desired cutting and finishing angle as site conditions change.

Durable Construction for Wear Areas

The bucket is constructed from high-grade structural steel, with AR400 steel used in specified wear areas. These include the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. This material configuration is intended to reinforce areas exposed to contact and abrasion during ditch cleaning, grading, and general excavation tasks.

Excavator Compatibility and Mounting

The NM Attachments 8HTD-48 is intended for excavators with an operating weight of 14,000–24,000 lb, approximately 7–12 tons. The mount or interface must be specified for the excavator. Pin-on and coupler configurations are not verified for this exact record, so the required mounting arrangement should be confirmed before ordering.
