Tip bucket assembly with adjustable bucket width
A tip bucket assembly comprising a central section 12 bordered along each of its side edges by an outer section 10. The outer section is co-extensive with and selectively moveable towards and away from the central section to vary the overall width of the tip bucket assembly. Preferably, the outer section includes a side edge which define the floor, rear, side and upper surface of the tip bucket. Preferably, the central section comprises two superimposed elongate plate members 14, 16, separated by spacing members (32, Fig 6) to define a continuous access slot along the entire length of the central section into which the neighbouring edge of the side sections can be located. Preferably, movement of the outer section is achieved by hydraulic or pneumatic drive members located on the rear face of the central section.
