What is an Excavator Skeleton Bucket?

The skeleton bucket is an excavator attachment with a slotted back designed to separately different sized aggregates, such as rocks, stones and tree roots from the dirt. On a jobsite, you might hear the skeleton bucket also referred to as a screening bucket, riddle bucket or shaker bucket. The name "shaker bucket" derives from the shaking action required to separate materials. The slotted back, or 'tines', allow fine materials like dirt and small aggregates to pass through, leaving larger items like bricks or sticks in the bucket. This process aids in the easy disposal, recycling or reuse of these materials, reducing the costs associated with expensive trash removal.

How To Use a Skeleton Bucket
To use a skeleton bucket, start by mounting your attachment to your excavator as you usually would. This step will vary between machines depending if you have a quick attach coupler fitted. Once securely attached, scoop a pile of dirt into the screening bucket as you would with a standard excavator bucket. Once the bucket is loaded with material, move the crowd control side-to-side in a fast motion to shake the bucket. This shaking action allows fine dirt and smaller aggregates to fall through the tines, leaving larger objects behind. After separating the materials, tip any remaining contents into a separate pile or into a truck for removal, reusing or recycling.
