Ultra Heavy-Duty – These are the heaviest rock and demolition buckets we make. Originally designed in the 80’s for the most demanding shot-rock applications in Newfoundland and Northern Ontario. When you need extreme strength and wear resistance, specify Nye UHD.
Industry: Mining
T-Rex Pulverizers
The Nye “T-Rex Pulverizer” is a new type of secondary concrete processor. It was engineered by using an approach to design called “Biomimetics“.
Nye’s engineers studied the mechanics of how carnivores crush solid bone with their teeth and they coupled that with their extensive knowledge in the demolition industry to come up with the “T-Rex”.
The lower and upper meshing and replaceable incisors intersect tip to tip. This provides a fine point of pick-up for smaller items, like bits of re-bar that tend to contaminate the concrete pile.
The hydraulic brace gives operators the choice to articulate the lower jaw, allowing the pulverizer to be positioned in numerous configurations. The rod on the hydraulic brace is protected from falling debris by a sliding rod guard that was developed specifically for this application.
Applications
The T-Rex has multiple uses on a job site. It includes, but is not limited to, precision picking and sorting of reclaimable materials, using it as a shovel to dig through debris piles, and separating reinforcing rod from concrete demolition debris.
Construction
Custom fabricated with 120,000 psi quenched & tempered steel plate, hardened pins and aluminum bronze bushings throughout.
Quick Couplers (Stealth)
This is the rugged quick coupler with the unbeatable wedge design Jack Nye developed for a steel mill almost thirty years ago. The Stealth Quick Coupler System is a proven safe and reliable performer that has no moving parts to wear and has the largest mating surface of any system on the market.
Super Stealth is our latest hydraulic offering for 70 – 120 ton machines. Super Stealth features an increased wedge angle for easier coupling, a hydraulic latch that keeps the coupler tight and totally redundant locking pins for the ultimate in safety.
Standard Extensions
Extra reach for deep excavating, demolition, and dredging. Standard stick extensions mount on your existing bucket pin, no cutting or welding required. QT100 structural steel plate fabrication for maximum strength and minimum weight. For excavators ranging from 15 to 100 tons.
Special / Misc. Buckets
Special Buckets – Years of combined experience and expertise makes Nye a leader in the industry of bucket manufacturing always with the customer in mind. We manufacture buckets and attachments for absolutely all applications. Give us a call and put our dedication and commitment working for you.
All Nye buckets exceed manufacturers’ specifications regardless of class.
Ripper Buckets
Nye Ripper Buckets have earned a reputation for extreme service in hard shale. We have perfected the ripper bucket in terms of profile and tooth position for larger machines . These buckets consistently outperform “V” type buckets of all makes, allowing the operator to rip and load in one operation.
If you are working in shale you need a Nye Ripper Bucket.
Quick Attach Units
Most versatile quick coupler system. Rugged QT100 construction. Wide coupling range. Simple and safe to operate.
Parallel-Link Extensions
Our most popular and versatile option for extra reach. Useful for deep excavating, demolition and dredging. No cutting, welding or extra hydraulics required. Parallel-Link extensions simply pin onto the end of your existing stick. QT100 structural steel, low hydrogen flux core welds, hardened alloy pins and bushings throughout ensure maximum durability on demanding jobs. Available for 8 to 100 ton machines.
Loader Buckets
Nye builds a wide variety of custom loader attachments. Our loader buckets are built to order so you always get the correct bucket for your application.
Limestone Buckets
Nye super heavy LSB series limestone buckets feature a new concept in easy to service “cleaver” cutting edges. These advanced “full convex” edges stay sharp longer than regular blades and are easy to service in the field thanks to the innovative blade clamping system.
A sharp cutting edge is crucial for splitting and separating layers of sedimentary rock. Conventional welded cutting edges with flame cut bevels tend to dull quickly, impacting performance and production. Changing a welded cutting edge is costly and time consuming, requiring special skills and equipment plus extended machine down time.
Nye’s new clamp in cutting edge system solves the dull-edge problem. The edges can be flipped or changed on site quickly by one man with a socket wrench, no welding or special tools required. The blade is in two pieces, so you can flip the blades and get four corners to wear instead of two giving twice the blade life and twice the production.
Advanced edge geometry – AR500 material with CNC machined “Full Convex” profiles make LSB edges stronger and longer lasting than flame-cut bevel or compound bevel cutting edges. The replacement blades are sophisticated, yet simple in design so replacement cost is minimal.
The bucket body is made with extra thick solid steel plate. The LSB850 has 100mm [4”] thick sides, top plate, basket and eyes plus 180mm [7”] thick laminated AR400 bottom. This extreme mass makes pounding seams and splitting rock easy.
With a heavy bucket and sharp edge the operator can separate layers of rock easily by pounding the cutting edge into seams and cracks. The mass of the bucket does the work, not the excavator, like a man using a sledge hammer delivering powerful blows with no injury to himself.
