The AMI General Purpose Bucket for Backhoe Loaders is designed for everyday loading, grading, backfilling, cleanup, and material handling. Built for fast filling and easy cleanout, this heavy-duty backhoe loader bucket helps operators efficiently move dirt, gravel, sand, topsoil, aggregate, and other loose materials.
Available in capacities from 1.00 to 2.00 cubic yards, the AMI General Purpose Bucket offers multiple configurations for Class 50 and Class 70 backhoe loaders.
The AMI General Purpose Bucket is built for the everyday jobs that make up most backhoe loader work. Whether you're loading trucks, moving aggregate, backfilling trenches, grading a jobsite, or cleaning up loose material, this bucket provides the versatility needed for a wide range of applications.
Its combination of capacity, durability, efficient filling, and clean material release makes it an excellent choice for construction, landscaping, roadwork, utility, agricultural, and municipal applications.
Efficient loading starts with getting material to roll into the bucket instead of simply pushing it ahead of the cutting edge.
AMI angles the bucket floor slightly upward, helping lift and roll material into the bucket as the backhoe loader moves forward. This design promotes better bucket fills when working with dirt, gravel, sand, topsoil, and other loose materials.
Better filling means operators can move more material per cycle and reduce unnecessary passes around the jobsite.
Material packed into corners reduces usable capacity and can slow down production.
The AMI Backhoe Loader General Purpose Bucket uses smooth curves and an open interior design to encourage material to release during dumping. The bucket geometry minimizes tight areas where dirt and other material can become trapped or packed.
AMI offers 1.00, 1.25, 1.30, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00 cubic yard general purpose bucket configurations, depending on machine class.
