Hydraulic variable extending digger bucket
An excavator or backhoe bucket has a central section and side sections that may extend from or contract into the central section to alter the width of the bucket. A double acting hydraulic ram may be located on the bucket and may be used extend or retract the sides in a telescopic manner allowing the sides to move to the centre when the bucket is narrowed, or away from the centre when the bucket is widened. The bucket width may be adjusted from within the excavator cab. The objectives of the device include reducing the number of buckets that are required, minimising the dangers associated with bucket changing and to allow the bucket width to be adjusted to the precise width that is required.
