How Does A Conrete Placement Bucket Improve Process Flow

Concrete Placement BucketWhat is a concrete placement bucket?
It is a skid steer attachment used to pour concrete.  It allows for quick, efficient transport and dispatch of the material.  The bucket is made from steel and features reinforced corners to strengthen the sides.  It works with most loaders.

How do they improve process flow?
A skid steer loader attachment can access areas where more complex, expensive equipment cannot reach.  The lack of complex components also allows operators greater control of concrete pouring.

What are some applications that concrete placement buckets are used for?
Construction companies use them for many different types of applications.  Some road construction is done with concrete buckets.  Bridgework is another form of construction where these attachments are used.  Many parts of airports are built with them as well.  Home builders use them to create home foundations.  In many landscaping projects, construction crews are contracted to pour concrete for various hardscapes that are inaccessible to larger cement trucks.  Landscapers use them to create hardscape areas around homes.  Examples include the foundations of outdoor buildings, swimming pools, patios, and walkways.

Where do construction companies use them the most?
They are used in building renovations where concrete is only poured in select places.  In many new constructions, concrete placement buckets are used to access areas that are too cluttered with obstructions for heavier trucks to get through.  Such areas include atriums, patio courtyards, sidewalks, and various hardscapes.  A lot of concrete repair work is also done with buckets.  Driveways, parking areas, and walkways often crack after several years of use and can be better repaired with a simple device that accurately pours concrete into damaged areas.

When are attachment buckets essential?
When a company is on a budget, it is not always economical to purchase heavy concrete mixers and trucks that cost thousands of dollars more to maintain.  A small crew that may only have a single skid steer and a licensed driver, can quickly get the job done with fewer complications when a bucket attachment is used.  Because there are no mechanized parts, there is no risk of mechanical breakdown.  The unit is durable, reliable, and simple to operate in even the most challenging of environments.

The ability to place concrete in hard to reach areas increases productivity.  The lower cost of a concrete placement bucket makes it much more affordable than cement trucks or specialized mixing and pouring equipment.
