The present configuration relates to the use of a hanging bracket which may be assembled on a construction job site in order to allow such materials to be dispensed along with the use of typical onsite construction vehicles such as backhoes, bucket loaders, etc. This configuration allows for effective attachment to various bucket sizes, and also may be folded into a compact configuration when stored or transported.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, an object monitoring device attached to the upper turning body, an attachment attached to the upper turning body, a hook attached to the attachment, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to switch the operating mode of the shovel to a crane mode based on information obtained by the object monitoring device.

Devices, apparatus, systems, vehicles and methods for cleaning contaminated tanks without introducing free water or liquefier into the tanks. A mobile vehicle with left and right sets of tracks can support a gathering arm assembly, a bucket assembly, an eductor vacuum, and a pump/tank assembly that can be used to remove and break up waste debris from a contaminated tank.

An attachment system and, more specifically, an attachment system for with vehicles with buckets, such as lawn tractors or other similar compact tractors, is disclosed. The attachment system includes a frame, two bucket adapter arms, and two swing arms which securely attach the attachment system to the bucket of the vehicle by effectively surrounding the bucket. The frame or base of the attachment system may be configured to allow the attachment system to be used with various other yard devices, including, but not limited to, a leaf collector, mobile scaffold, auger, snow blade, water tank, trencher, and other lawn care related equipment. The disclosed attachment system provides a universal attachment that may be strongly and securely attached to the bucket of a vehicle.

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 bracket for installation onto a bucket of a front end loader. The bracket is configured for installation and removal from the bucket without the use of a tool, and includes an inner member configured to be received by the bucket, an outer member configured to be located around portions of the inner member and the bucket, and a lock configured to extend through a portion of the inner member and the outer member when the bracket is installed onto the bucket to maintain the outer member and the inner member from moving relative to one another when installed onto the bucket.

A soil collection attachment for movable equipment is described. The soil collection attachment includes a bucket including a bottom panel having an aperture, wherein the aperture is adapted to receive an excavation device such as an auger. A gate which is operated by a hydraulic cylinder is attached to the bottom panel. In a closed position, the gate covers the aperture to prevent excavation materials from falling through the aperture.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for laying a pipe in a trench, the apparatus comprising a placement assembly (2) for placing the pipe in the trench; a compactor mechanism (3) for compacting of the aggregate about the pipe.

An attachment for use with a bucket of a prime mover comprises a base member having fixed shape in a longitudinal direction of the base member between first and second ends with first and second pivoting members pivotally connected at the first and second ends of the base member, each actuated for pivotal movement about a respective transverse axis by a distinct actuator. The second pivoting member forms a base for releasably receiving different attachment ends such as a secondary arm member carrying a respective pivoting member independently actuated of the base member's pivoting members that is disposed on a secondary arm member end distal to a connection end thereof for connecting to the base member, an extension member without any actuators and pivoting members, and a tool section which is designed for carrying out a specific function.

The disclosed invention facilitates the removal of dirt and other sediment from a bucket of heavy machinery. With regular use, buckets build up dirt that decreases the available volume. Removing the dirt can require additional equipment and labor, and would require the heavy machinery to be away from the service area. The disclosed invention allows for rapid removal of the dirt on site with a single piece of equipment.
