Rockland side dump bucket features removable dump plate

The dump plate also functions as a wear part.


Rockland Manufacturing, Bedford, Pennsylvania, has recently introduced its SDB side dump bucket. The SDB side dump bucket features a patent-pending removable dump plate designed to transform the side dump bucket into a general purpose bucket. The option to unload material either conventionally or laterally at a 45-degree angle is made to increase flexibility, efficiency and reduce cost. 

The SDB’s dump plate can be removed anywhere without cutting or welding, the company says. The dump plate also functions as a wear part, reducing the need for expensive rebuilds and increasing the total life of the side dump bucket. 

All Rockland SDB side dump buckets are powered by a dual-cushioned cylinder that designed to provide a safe, smooth and quiet operation. The entire side dump bucket body and dump plate is crafted from an alloy plate designed to make it wear and abrasion-resistant, even with frequent contact with asphalt and other hard surfaces.
