Dredging Bucket is designed for excavation and removal of soft sediment, silt and similar material in rivers, canals, reservoirs, ports and reclamation projects. It is commonly paired with long-reach excavators where extended working distance or depth is required.

The bucket should be selected according to sediment characteristics, carrier size, working reach, required capacity, water conditions and the boom or arm configuration. Attachment weight is especially important on long-reach machines because it directly affects stability and usable working envelope.
