Versa Corp. LLC, Astoria, Oregon, offers its Versa Bucket, a specialized attachment for skid-steer loaders engineered for controlled gripping and streamlined material handling. The Versa Bucket:

  • comes in sizes to fit skid-steer loaders, tractor loaders and wheel loaders
  • features a heavy-duty steel jaw and gripping teeth designed to allow the operator to scrape and squeeze materials firmly and cleanly
  • allows operators on tipping floors and other material reception areas to use the bucket’s edge to sweep and push material and to blend or homogenize mixed loads so that later separation equipment receives a more consistent feed
  • can speed up presorting and removal of oversized or nonconforming items and bulky contaminants when used to feed hoppers for conveyors, shredders, balers, trommel screens and other equipment
  • has a clam shell design that aids efficiency by not having to tip the bucket down to discharge material, allowing for a higher discharge height
