EX8000-7 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.
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


Modular cover plate
Improved manual handling.
Improved safety.

Hydraulic hose routing
Reduced downtime.
Improve servicability.

Floating Pins
Improved reliability.
Safer removal and maintenance.
Bushed lower pin
Improved maintenance.
Reduced downtime.

Hose
Improved inventory, less parts.
Improved protection for the grease kit.
Flexible lines are coloured.
Hard lines are grey.

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.
