A system and a method configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop and templates configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop. Thus a transportation requirements to a construction site can be significantly reduced. Furthermore attachment blades for particular excavator scoops can be produced quickly for particular excavator scoops and excavator scoops can be configured with tooth holders. Furthermore existing attachment blades and excavator scoops can be regenerated quickly when service is required.

A bucket for an industrial vehicle configured to load, move, transport, tip and spread a bulk material. The bucket includes two lateral panels extending on each side of a loading panel having a loading edge and an unloading edge. The bucket includes a support panel, an opening panel, an adjuster and a fixing attachment. The adjuster includes a rotationally movable roller situated under the bucket and configured to turn in the direction of rotation of the wheels of the vehicle and to rest on the ground during spreading. The fixing attachment is configured to be fixed to the vehicle and is housed in a vertical translational movable space configured to leave travel for vertical translational movement. The fixing attachment is configured to rotationally move about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the support panel so as to turn the bucket relative to the ground.

A power operated locking device for securing for example a tooth or an adaptor, to a ground engaging system, the lock having an internal motor, and sensing system operated by remote wireless technology to unlock and lock the locking device, and a wireless transmitting handheld device for the locking, and unlocking of the power operated locking device, wherein the motor and drive and electronic response circuits are all contained within the power operated locking device.

A rock bucket attachment for securement with a skid steer unit or tractor front loader, the attachment incorporating a bucket for use in combination with a grapple, the bucket having side walls, back walls, and a bottom wall, the grapple interconnecting by lever arms to the side walls of the bucket, the grapple having a pair of side arms pivotally connected with the front of the lever arms, and hydraulic cylinders interconnecting between the back of the side arms and the back end of the side walls, or the frame structure interconnecting between the two, such that when the hydraulic cylinders are actuated, they initially pivot the lever arms forwardly to their fullest extent to arrange the grapple and its rake over a debris pile, and then further actuation of the hydraulic cylinders pivoting the side arms relative to the lever arms to pivot the rake of the grapple downwardly to urge any debris into the bucket as the rake comes into proximity with the front of the bucket, to retain any raked debris therein.

A demolition system for equipping a skid steer to rip concrete and asphalt from the ground includes a bucket that is coupled to a tractor. The bucket has a rear wall and a bottom wall. A pair of blocks is provided and each of the blocks is coupled to the rear wall of the bucket. A pair of gripping units is provided and each of the gripping units is removably positioned in an associated one of the blocks. Moreover, each of the gripping units extends below the bottom wall of the bucket. Thus, each of the gripping units selectively engages an object on the ground thereby facilitating the object to be urged upwardly from the ground.

A removable scraper device is described herein. The removable scraper device includes an attachment element and a socket defined by the attachment element, wherein the socket is configured to receive a post of a scraper element therein. The removable scraper device further includes a slot defined by the attachment element, wherein the slot is configured to receive a portion of a bucket of a wheeled-machine therein. The removable scraper device further includes an aperture defined by the attachment element and a bolt sized to be received within the aperture.
