Soil/Earthen Buckets – Versatile Handling for Soil, Sand, and Concrete

Gar-Bro’s Soil/Earthen buckets are engineered for flexibility and strength, delivering dependable performance across a wide range of material handling needs. Whether you’re transporting non-packing soil to a green rooftop or placing self-consolidating concrete in hard-to-reach forms, the Soil/Earthen bucket is the go-to tool for efficient, controlled material discharge.

Purpose-Built for Earth and Concrete Materials

The Soil/Earthen series is specifically designed for handling loose, non-packing materials such as sand and light soil. Ideal for landscaping, green infrastructure, and rooftop installations, these buckets simplify transport and placement with precision. Their lightweight, upright round design makes them easy to maneuver on job sites where space and mobility matter most.

But these aren’t just sand buckets, they’re also fully capable of handling high-slump and self-consolidating concrete (SCC), as well as traditional wet-cast mixes. The robust design ensures controlled flow and minimal material loss, making them a smart addition to any concrete equipment lineup.

Efficient Discharge with Venturi Gate Design

At the heart of the Soil/Earthen bucket is a 28-inch diameter double clamshell “venturi” gate. This gate provides a smooth, controlled discharge ideal for placing both granular material and fluid concrete. Its venturi shape reduces spillage and helps direct the flow exactly where it’s needed—whether you’re backfilling planters, distributing cement bucket loads, or placing material into tight forms.

The gate is easy to operate, ensuring accuracy during each pour or placement and reducing cleanup time.

Lightweight and ASME-Compliant

Despite its robust capabilities, the Soil/Earthen bucket is surprisingly lightweight. This makes it easier to handle with cranes or forklifts, especially on rooftops or elevated platforms. It’s built to meet or exceed ASME design standards, giving you the confidence that you’re working with safe, job-ready equipment.

Other sizes are available upon request, allowing you to tailor the bucket to your specific project requirements and material volumes.

Why Choose the Soil/Earthen Bucket?

If you’re managing landscaping materials, sand placement, or specialized concrete applications, the Soil/Earthen bucket delivers unmatched versatility. It’s more than just a concrete bucket—it’s a multifunctional solution built to handle diverse materials with precision and ease.

Upgrade your concrete equipment and streamline your material handling with the rugged and reliable Soil/Earthen bucket—built by Gar-Bro to move more with less effort.
