Features&Benefits
The Maxi-Tuff AA centrifugal elevator bucket has the traditional shape of a cast iron bucket. This bucket has a heavy reinforced lip and corners with a thickened back wall for mounting strength. Standard spacing is projection x 2. The most common applications include handling stone, sand, gravel, coal, fertilizer, clay, salt, limestone and concrete. The Maxi-Tuff AA bucket is the best bucket for tough, abrasive industrial applications.

- Reduces weight on elevator up to 80%
- Up to 25% more capacity than cast iron buckets
- Cleaner discharge
- Non-corrosive, non-sparking
- Thicker walls, heavy front digging lip
- Heat, impact and abrasion resistant
BENEFITS
- Lowers elevator maintenance
- Reduces energy usage
- Extends bucket life
- Decreases elevator down-time
- Easier to install and replace
- Reduces build-up in bottom of buckets
- Saves money versus carbon steel
