Abstract: A bucket for use on a loader is disclosed including a main wall which transitions from a lower main wall portion into an upper main wall portion. It includes two side walls extending between the lower main wall portion and the upper main wall portion. The main wall and the side walls define an interior space and an open mouth at a front end of the bucket. The lower portion of the main wall, the upper portion of the main wall and the side walls may be engineered to provide a suitable structural strength and wear resistance by selection of an appropriate thickness and hardness of steel for each of the walls and portions of the walls. A loader including the bucket is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bucket (10) for moving ground material, the bucket (10) comprising a handling section (12) with a mounting arrangement (64) for coupling to a machine, a load section (14) mounted on the handling section (12) such that the load section (14) is separable from the handling section (12) so that the load section (14) can be separated and replaced with another load section (14). The handling section (12) may include a mounting formation (46), and the load section (14) may include a further mounting formation (20) that is complementary to said mounting formation (46) and the mounting formation (46) is configured to receive the further mounting formation (20) therein and the mounting (20) and complementary mounting formations (46) have surfaces that are in abutment.

Abstract: A truck body is disclosed which is able to be mounted to a truck in such a way that the truck body can pivot relative to the truck between a lowered, travel orientation and a raised, dumping orientation. The truck body has a material carrying region, and the material carrying region has: a floor surface, and a curved transition (“the floor-to-front-wall-transition”) between the floor surface and a surface forming a front wall portion of the material carrying region. The radius of curvature of at least a portion of the floor-to-front-wall-transition is two meters or greater, which may help to reduce material carry-back.
