Description

NM Attachments 48" Class 8 Skeleton Bucket – NM-8SK-48 is an excavator attachment designed for separating rocks and debris from soil during site preparation, land clearing, landscaping, and material handling work. Built from high-grade structural steel with AR400 steel used in the tines and other major wear areas, this skeleton bucket is intended for demanding sifting applications where durability and controlled material separation are important. Its open skeleton design allows soil to pass through while retaining larger rocks, rubble, and debris for removal.

Efficient Sifting for Excavator Work

The NM-8SK-48 is part of the NM Attachments Class 8 skeleton bucket family. Skeleton buckets are used to remove rocks and debris while sifting through soil, making them suitable for applications where the operator needs to separate unwanted material without removing all of the surrounding earth.

The bucket’s skeleton-style construction supports screening and sorting directly at the work area. This can help with tasks such as clearing rocky ground, preparing landscaping areas, cleaning construction sites, and separating oversize material during excavation work.

Durable AR400 Wear Areas

NM Attachments uses high-grade structural steel in the skeleton bucket construction, with AR400 steel specified for key wear areas. These areas include the side wear plates, side cutters, and tines. AR400 steel is selected for wear resistance in components exposed to repeated contact with rocks, debris, and abrasive soil.

The combination of structural steel construction and reinforced wear areas is suited to regular excavator use in demanding ground conditions. The open design keeps the attachment focused on screening and removal rather than general-purpose digging.
