our lineup, we offer a variety of different series including: Light duty, standard duty and heavy
duty, each of which has been designed to provide the maximum level of performance based
on the type of material being handled. When it comes to clamshell buckets, there is simply no
other manufacturer capable of matching the toughness and versatility of a Rotobec.

THE FORCE IS WITH YOU
QUAD-CYLINDER DESIGN FOR OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE
WORLD CLASS CYLINDERS
Our Clamshell Buckets come equipped with four Rotobec cylinders,
each rated at 5,000 psi. The quad-cylinder design ensures the
optimal force distribution on each corner of your bucket providing
maximum loads each and every time.
OUT-LIFT
The cylinders of our Clamshell Buckets are 100% designed,
manufactured and assembled in-house. This allows us to
guarantee that each cylinder meets the quality standards you
deserve. Our cylinders are rated at 5,000 PSI ensuring that you
have all the closing force you could ever need.
OUT-PERFORM
Our Clamshells are available with reversible BOLT-ON CUTTING
EDGES, which literally doubles the life of your bucket’s edge.
We also offer models with a LEVEL CUT DESIGN for dredging
applications.
OUT-LAST
Where other manufacturers only use a high-tensile steel
in small sections of the bucket, Our Clamshell Buckets are
fabricated almost entirely of HIGH-TENSILE STEEL, which will
significantly extend the life of your bucket.
THE KING OF ROTATORS
WE’RE CALLED ROTO-BEC FOR A REASON
ONE ROTATOR TO RULE THEM ALL
For the last 40 years, Rotobec has been pushing the boundaries
of innovation in the world of rotator design. The rotators on our
Clamshell Buckets are no exception. In addition to standard 3600
rotation and a fully supported pinion gear, all of our rotations are
fully sealed, allowing them to be fully submersed in water up to 15
feet deep. Our rotators are without a doubt the most advanced and
longest lasting ever made. Why settle for anything but the best?
