A concrete crusher bucket is a specialized excavator attachment that integrates material loading and crushing functions directly on the digging arm, processing concrete chunks, blasted rock and construction debris right at job sites without extra crushing machinery. This digger crusher bucket works by using the excavator’s native hydraulic system to power internal crushing components, adjusting output particle sizes across a wide range to meet different reuse grading demands. As a versatile rock crusher bucket fitted to standard excavators, it eliminates separate loading and hauling steps between work zones and stationary crushers.

How a Concrete Crusher Bucket Works?
A concrete crusher bucket operates on a simple jaw-crushing principle. The bucket contains two jaws—one fixed and one moving. The moving jaw is driven by a hydraulic motor through an eccentric shaft. As the moving jaw cycles back and forth, it crushes material between the two jaws.
The material enters through the opening at the top of the bucket. The jaws crush it against each other, reducing the size. The crushed material falls through the gap at the bottom, which determines the output size.
The hydraulic motor is powered by the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit. The operator controls the crusher from the cab, starting and stopping the crushing action as needed. The bucket can be used to scoop material directly from a demolition pile, crush it on the spot, and discharge the aggregate into a stockpile or truck.
The jaw plates are made from wear-resistant steel. They are replaceable, extending the service life of the bucket. The YG series uses high-quality alloy steel for the jaws and frame, providing durability in demanding conditions.
6 Applications of Concrete Crusher Bucket
- Demolition and Site Clearance. The primary application. The bucket processes concrete, brick, and masonry waste on site, eliminating haulage costs. The crushed material can be used as backfill, subbase, or aggregate for new concrete.
- Road and Highway Construction. The bucket produces aggregate for road base and subbase directly on the job site. This reduces the need for imported materials and lowers project costs.
- Quarrying and Mining. The bucket processes rock and ore at the extraction point. It reduces the need for primary crushers and haulage to a central processing facility
- Tunnel and Underground Construction. The bucket crushes excavated rock and concrete on site, reducing the volume of material that needs to be hauled out.
- Pipeline and Trenching. The bucket processes excavated material for reuse as bedding and backfill. This eliminates the need to import aggregate for pipe bedding.
- Recycling and Waste Management. The bucket processes construction and demolition waste for recycling. The crushed material can be sold as aggregate or used on site.
Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Crusher Bucket
A: The YG series covers excavators from 8 to 75+ tons. The YG-1 fits 8-12 ton machines. The YG-8 fits 75+ ton excavators. Match the bucket to your excavator’s weight class and hydraulic flow capacity.
A: The digger crusher bucket processes concrete, brick, asphalt, rock, and other inert materials. It handles rebar and steel objects without damage, though the steel must be removed from the crushed output
A: The output size ranges from 15mm to 200mm depending on the model. The operator adjusts the jaw gap to achieve the required output size. Smaller gaps produce finer material but reduce throughput.
A: The YG series delivers 10 to 120 m³/h depending on the model and material. The YG-1 produces up to 10 m³/h. The YG-8 produces up to 120 m³/h. Actual production depends on material hardness, moisture, and excavator hydraulic flow.
A: Yes. The YG series is designed to handle rebar and steel objects in the feed material. The jaws crush the concrete around the rebar, and the steel is discharged with the crushed material. Steel must be separated from the aggregate before use.
A: The output size is adjusted by changing the gap between the fixed and moving jaws. The adjustment mechanism allows the operator to set the desired output size without removing the bucket from the excavator.
