EX5600-7 Face Shovel Bucket

Optimising every pass. Maximising every hour.

Bradken’s latest generation of face shovel buckets are engineered for optimised bucket design and material selection to deliver improved payload efficiency and structural reliability.

Designed for the harshest mining applications, our next-generation face shovel bucket combines advanced engineering with optimised load paths to deliver unmatched structural integrity. By removing fatigue-prone welds and reinforcing critical areas, the bucket distributes strength more efficiently across key load-bearing components. The result is increased reliability, improved digging performance, longer service life, and reduced downtime, helping customers move more material at a lower total cost of ownership.
Collaboratively designed with our Eclipse® lip systems, using a holistic design approach for optimal performance.

Re-engineered for maximum uptime, payload efficiency & structural reliability.

Enhanced design minimises material ingress and egress, reducing maintenance requirements and extending service life:

Purpose-built for demanding environments, the enhanced design provides improved material containment and reduced operational risk:

Jaw wear package options

Optimised for maximum productivity and extended service life, Bradken’s advanced wear package combines premium materials, intelligent design, and loader-specific GET technology to help mining operations move more tonnes while reducing maintenance downtime.
Featuring an optimised wear configuration, anti-hang-up gussets to minimise material buildup, premium hard-faced wear-resistant materials, and the proven Eclipse® GET system, the design enhances bucket fill efficiency, improves reliability, and lowers total cost of ownership.
The result is increased machine availability, longer component life, reduced maintenance intervention, and more productive loading cycles—helping operations maximise productivity and profitability in the most demanding mining environments.

Cast components

Next Generation Bradken® Face Shovel Bucket

More efficient maintenance

Design updates improve reliability and distribute stress into more durable cast components, enhancing structural performance.

Floating hinge pins and aluminium end caps extend component life and enable safer removal.

Compatible with OEM components (pins, bushes, seals and hydraulics) to ensure seamless installation and removal.

Improved TCO

Lower maintenance increases machine uptime and overall production.

Optimised bucket capacities and wear kits match conditions, maximising machine time and reducing life‑cycle costs.

Enhanced jaw fatigue life allows the bucket to stay on the machine for longer intervals.

Improved Safety

Optimised hydraulic hose routing eliminates premature hose failures and enhances inspection and maintenance safety.

Redesigned cast connection points increase fatigue life in high‑stress areas. Re‑routing the hoses removes welds from critical zones and reduces bends, lowering the risk of hose damage during operation while also making replacements faster and easier.
