The CAEL Tilt / Wrist Bucket is designed for precision grading, trench finishing, backfilling, drainage, road maintenance, and utility applications on medium to large excavation sites. Built for 12–17 ton class excavators, this hydraulic tilt bucket provides 45° of tilt in both directions, giving operators greater control and flexibility without repeatedly repositioning the machine.

Constructed from durable T1 and AR400 steel, the bucket features reinforced wear areas, AR400 side and bottom plates, and a reversible bolt-on cutting edge for dependable performance in demanding excavation environments.

Applications

The CAEL Tilt / Wrist Bucket is ideal for road maintenance, drainage work, utility installation, grading, trench finishing, backfilling, and material placement applications.

The hydraulic tilt function allows operators to:

• Create accurate angled cuts and slopes
• Finish drainage channels and trenches
• Back-drag and level surfaces
• Side-slope and grade uneven terrain
• Place material with greater precision
• Work around obstacles and structures
• Perform finishing work in difficult-to-reach areas

The 45° hydraulic tilt in both directions provides improved control for grading and finishing applications while reducing the need for constant machine repositioning.

Built for Durability

The bucket is manufactured with a reinforced T1 steel frame and AR400 abrasion-resistant wear plates in high-wear areas. The reversible bolt-on AR400 cutting edge provides additional protection against impact and abrasion while allowing for easier replacement when worn.

Sealed hydraulic components and greasable pivot points are designed to support reliable operation and long service life in abrasive, wet, and demanding working conditions.
