Features
-
Easy Rebuilds
Heavy wear areas are designed to be separate components of the bucket anatomy, so when they finally do need replaced, you can do so cleanly, more easily and achieve “like-new” results. -
High Strength Steel
Heavy wear areas are constructed with premium-grade AR 400 steel for maximum impact and abrasion resistance. AR 400 steel has a minimum BNH (Brinell Hardness Number) of 360 and is valued for its durability and strong resistance to abrasion.
Options
-
Bolt-On Edge
Increase the lifespan of your bucket with a beveled, wear-resistant steel edge that takes the brunt of all first-contact impacts. Double-sided for twice extended life; when one side wears down, simply turn it around to expose the fresh edge. Weld-on AR 400 steel skid pads at bottom rear of bucket included. Factory painted and installed to match either ACS or OEM hole patterns.
-
Bolt-On Teeth
Enable your bucket to dig more aggressively by puncturing and loosening handled material before the bucket edge digs in with bolt-on teeth. ACS offers a wide array of tooth brands and tooth duty options. -
Coupler Configurations
Get your attachment configured to be pinned directly to the loader arms, work with a coupler you already own or buy your attachment as a package with one of our rugged hydraulic coupler choices below.
-
Pro Series 2000
Our most advanced coupler design for the 4WD loader. The compact body balances strength with performance, keeping the payload close to the loader for the closest-in CG (center of gravity) in the industry. Features the ACS original single-point hookup design for fast, smooth coupling — even on uneven terrain.
-
Series 1000
Fully-supported legacy coupler system that established our reputation. Used in private and government fleets and highly regarded for its dependability — we still make it because you still demand it.
-
OEM Coupling Systems
ACS manufactures couplers compatible with all popular OEM coupler systems:
-
-
Drill Patterns
ACS will precision drill your bucket to accept OEM or ACS wear parts. -
Latch Hook
Factory installed latch hooks are located on the top lip of the bucket to give you a safe, reliable way to lift objects with a chain. Installed package includes additional reinforcement plates and a hook with a sturdy safety latch. Hooks are rated at 5 or 10 tons as determined by loader’s lift capabilities. Can be installed in a quantity of 1, 2 or 3 to a bucket. -
Spill Guard
Prevents material from spilling towards the loader while in full roll-back and protects hydraulic lines and linkage from damage by falling debris.
