Austin designs and manufactures face shovel excavator buckets that are compatible with all OEM machines. We work closely with OEMs to ensure our buckets are designed to operate within OEM specifications.

Improvements to the rear structure have allowed for a heavy-duty main shell plate to be incorporated, providing superior strength and wear resistance.

With additional material and Improvements to known failure areas, the JEC upgraded hinge casting option improves structural longevity.

Additional structural ribbing has been incorporated into the base shell structure to strengthen the upper apron and resist impact damage to critical pivot areas.

Replaceable bolt-on wear edges protect the apron moldboard (a known high wear area) from wear across the full bucket width and reduces the potential for jaw pivot failure due to uneven cylinder loading.

Full interchangeability with standard componentry, design within machine operating envelopes, and keeping within OEM maximum suspended load guidelines.
