NM Attachments - Class 6 Trapezoid Bucket - 18" Bottom x 48" Top - AR400 Critical Wear Areas for Trenching & Pipelines [NM-6TB-48]

The NM Attachments 6TB-48 Class 6 Trapezoid Bucket is a heavy-duty excavator attachment designed for trenching and pipeline applications. With an 18-inch bottom width and 48-inch top width, its trapezoidal profile is intended to help reduce the amount of backfill required after excavation. AR-400 steel in all critical wear areas provides added protection in high-wear zones, making this bucket a practical choice for demanding excavation work with excavators in the 12,000–14,000 lb machine class.

Built for Trenching and Pipeline Work

The 6TB-48 is shaped for applications where a tapered trench profile can help reduce the volume of material needed for backfilling. NM Attachments identifies its trapezoid buckets as ideal for pipeline and trenching applications, making this attachment suitable for contractors working on utility corridors, pipeline installation, and related excavation projects.

Durable Wear-Area Construction

Critical wear areas are built with AR-400 steel. This wear-resistant construction is intended to support durability in areas exposed to repeated contact with soil and excavated material. Combined with its heavy-duty trapezoid bucket design, the 6TB-48 is made for regular use in demanding excavation environments.

Specifications

Mounting Requirements

The mounting configuration is not included as a fixed specification for this product and must be specified for the excavator it will be used with. Provide the excavator’s required manufacturer mount when ordering so the bucket can be matched to the intended machine.

Application Benefits

By forming a trench with an 18-inch bottom and 48-inch top, the 6TB-48 provides a profile suited to trenching and pipeline applications. The design can help lower backfill requirements, while AR-400 steel in critical wear areas supports continued use in abrasive working conditions. This combination makes the NM Attachments 6TB-48 a focused attachment for excavators operating in the specified machine class.
