Applications

The 8" and 12" CAEL Trenching Buckets are ideal for narrow utility work, including electrical, plumbing, irrigation, and drainage trenches where precision excavation is important.

The 18" model provides a wider trench profile and features a reinforced removable bolt-on cutting edge, making it suitable for larger trenching applications and tougher ground conditions.

The narrow bucket design helps maintain digging accuracy while minimizing unnecessary ground disturbance and breakout force.

Built for Durability

Constructed with abrasion-resistant AR400 steel in high-wear areas, the CAEL Trenching Bucket is designed to withstand demanding excavation conditions.

Replaceable pin-on teeth make maintenance easier and help reduce long-term operating costs. The 18" model's removable bolt-on cutting edge provides additional protection against impact and abrasion, particularly when working in rocky or compacted soils.
