Description

Gar-Bro Soil-Earthen Concrete Buckets – Versatility for Soil, Sand, and Concrete

Built for Multi-Material Handling

The Gar-Bro soil-earthen series is engineered for contractors who need one tool that can handle both earth materials and concrete with ease. Whether transporting non-packing soil, placing sand on rooftops, or pouring self-consolidating mixes, this concrete bucket delivers dependable performance and precise flow. Its lightweight round design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, giving crews the flexibility to tackle diverse projects.

Designed for Soil, Sand, and Concrete

Unlike traditional sand buckets built for single-use tasks, the soil-earthen design adapts to multiple applications. Contractors can rely on it for landscaping, green infrastructure, or specialized concrete placement. With the strength to handle SCC and wet-cast mixes, this bucket functions as both a material mover and a reliable cement bucket. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any fleet of modern concrete equipment.

Efficient Discharge with Venturi Gate

At the core of the soil-earthen bucket is a 28-inch double clamshell “venturi” gate. This system creates smooth, controlled discharge while reducing spillage and waste. Crews can direct material exactly where it’s needed—whether backfilling planters, distributing rooftop soil, or placing concrete in formwork. By simplifying discharge, the soil-earthen bucket minimizes cleanup and boosts jobsite efficiency.

Lightweight, Durable, and Jobsite Ready

Even with its robust capabilities, the soil-earthen bucket remains lightweight for easier handling by crane or forklift. Built to meet or exceed ASME safety standards, it withstands tough conditions while ensuring safe operation. When paired with other concrete equipment, it integrates seamlessly into workflows, improving speed and reliability across multiple applications.

Why Choose the Soil-Earthen Series?

Contractors choose the soil-earthen bucket for its adaptability, durable build, and precise flow control. More than just a concrete bucket, it’s a multifunctional tool that performs as well as specialized sand buckets or a heavy-duty cement bucket.

Smarter Material Placement

From soil transport to concrete pouring, the soil-earthen series provides a rugged, reliable solution. Add it to your lineup of concrete equipment and handle diverse materials with confidence and efficiency.
