AMI Side Dump Bucket for Backhoe Loaders
The AMI Side Dump Bucket for Backhoe Loaders is designed for construction, roadwork, trenching, and material handling applications where operators need to dump material to the side without repositioning the machine. Ideal for working along highways, trenches, roadways, curbs, and confined jobsites, the AMI Side Dump Bucket helps keep the backhoe loader moving efficiently while reducing interference with surrounding traffic.
Available in 1.00 and 1.25 cubic yard capacities, the AMI hydraulic side dump bucket combines controlled side dumping with the ability to operate like a conventional loader bucket.
Backhoe Loader Side Dump Bucket
A traditional loader bucket normally requires the machine to approach the dumping location directly. The AMI Backhoe Loader Side Dump Bucket provides another option by allowing material to be discharged from the side.
This is especially useful on highway construction projects, road shoulders, trenching operations, utility projects, and narrow jobsites where turning or repositioning a backhoe loader can be difficult.
Operators can load and carry material normally, then use the hydraulic side-dump function when the application requires material to be placed alongside the machine.
Ideal for Highway & Road Construction
The AMI Side Dump Bucket is particularly well suited for highway and roadway work. Instead of repeatedly turning the backhoe loader across a work zone, operators can position the machine with the direction of traffic and discharge material to the side.
This design is useful for road construction, shoulder work, trench backfilling, utility installation, curb work, and roadside material placement.
Reducing unnecessary machine repositioning can help improve productivity when working in restricted areas.
Hydraulic Side Dump with Cushioning Cylinder
AMI uses a cushioning hydraulic cylinder to provide smooth side-dump operation.
The cushioning cylinder slows bucket movement at both ends of the stroke, helping provide more controlled movement as the bucket pivots. This reduces abrupt stopping when the bucket reaches either end of its side-dump travel.
The result is a smoother hydraulic side dump bucket designed for demanding backhoe loader applications.
Auto-Lock for Normal Bucket Operation
The AMI Side Dump Bucket isn't limited to side dumping. It can also perform conventional bucket dumping and filling.
During normal operation, an automatic locking system secures the non-pivot end of the bucket. This prevents unwanted side pivoting while the operator is filling or dumping the bucket normally.
The combination of standard bucket operation and hydraulic side dumping gives contractors greater flexibility from a single backhoe loader attachment.
Side Dump Bucket for Trench Backfilling
A backhoe loader side dump bucket can be particularly effective for trench and utility work.
Operators can travel alongside a trench and discharge dirt, gravel, aggregate, or bedding material directly to the side. This allows material to be placed where needed without continually turning the backhoe loader toward the trench.
Applications include trench backfilling, pipe installation, drainage projects, utility construction, road repair, and material placement.

1.0 & 1.25 Cubic Yard Side Dump Buckets
The AMI Side Dump Bucket is available in 1.00 yd³ and 1.25 yd³ capacities for Class 50 and Class 70 machines.
The Class 50 LB50SD100 has a 1.00 cubic yard capacity and weighs approximately 1,770 lbs., while the larger LB50SD125 provides a 1.25 cubic yard capacity at approximately 1,850 lbs.
These capacity options allow operators to select a side dump bucket based on the backhoe loader and the material-handling requirements of the job.
Built for Confined Work Areas
The ability to discharge material from the side makes the AMI bucket especially useful where maneuvering room is limited.
Typical applications include highway construction, road maintenance, trench work, utility projects, backfilling, landscaping, material placement, and confined construction sites.
For crews working alongside active roads or within narrow work zones, the side-dump design can reduce the amount of machine movement required to place material.
