Overview
A Clamshell Bucket is a dual-jaw hydraulic attachment used for digging, lifting, and loading bulk materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and waste. Known for its efficient scooping action and high-capacity design, the clamshell bucket is commonly mounted on cranes, excavators, and material handlers. Its robust build and versatile functionality make it indispensable in construction, dredging, mining, and port operations.
