Werk-Brau introduces the Reverse V-Line Bucket which allows all teeth to engage the ground simultaneously, making it a good product for areas with shale or layered rock formations. This unique design spreads the machine’s digging force across all the teeth; when they engage the ground at the same time, this new design allows a full bucket width to be ripped or scraped into the shale, rather than other designs where forces are concentrated on the leading tooth. With oversized leading edges, and a cutting edge with reinforced plate, the Reverse V-Bucket ensures long service life in severe conditions.

Constructed of T-1 steel in all critical or high wear areas, this bucket features steel walls that are thicker than traditional buckets and heavily reinforced wear areas. Each bucket has tapered sides to reduce wear on bucket sides and to allow for easier dumping. In addition to working in shale and layered rock common in Texas, Werk-Brau Reverse V-Line Buckets can also be used for moderate prying.

Twin Tiger teeth are set in a manner to provide maximum penetration.

Werk-Brau manufactures a complete line of OEM and replacement attachments for excavators, mini excavators, backhoes, mini and full-size loaders, and crawler loaders. For more information on Werk-Brau products, visit www.Werk-Brau.com.
