Excavator buckets are made of solid steel and generally present teeth protruding from the cutting edge, to disrupt hard material and avoid wear-and-tear of the bucket. Subsets of the excavator bucket are: the ditching bucket, trenching bucket, A ditching bucket is a wider bucket with no teeth, 5–6 feet (1.52–1.83 m) used for excavating ...
The largest form ever of an excavator, the dragline excavator, eliminated the dipper in favor of a line and winch. On the end of the stick is usually a bucket. A wide, large capacity (mud) bucket with a straight cutting edge is used for cleanup and levelling or where the material to be dug is soft, and teeth are not required.
The cutting height of the BCE's chain boom is 34 m (112 ft) to 35.5 m (116 ft), whilst its cutting depth is 31 m (102 ft) to 31.2 m (102 ft). [3] In total, the chain boom is capable of excavating a maximum capacity of 14,500 m 3 /h. [3] The buckets itself is reinforced by 5 to 10 mm steel plates to prevent deformation and wear-and-tear.

Power shovels are a type of rope/cable excavator, where the digging arm is controlled and powered by winches and steel ropes, rather than hydraulics like in the modern hydraulic excavators. Basic parts of a power shovel include the track system, cabin, cables, rack, stick, boom foot-pin, saddle block, boom, boom point sheaves and bucket.
a bucket, usually with a toothed edge, to dig into the earth; a "dipper" or "dipper stick" connecting the bucket to the boom; a "boom" mounted on the rotating platform, supporting the dipper and its control wires; a boiler; a water tank and coal bunker; steam engines and winches; operator's controls; a platform on which everything is mounted
A dragline bucket system consists of a large bucket which is suspended from a large truss-like boom (or mast) with wire ropes. The bucket is maneuvered by means of a number of ropes and chains. The hoist rope, powered by large diesel or electric motors, supports the bucket and hoist-coupler assembly from the boom. The dragrope is used to draw ...

A bucket wheel excavator (BWE) consists of a superstructure to which several more components are fixed. The bucket wheel from which the machines get their name is a large, round wheel with a configuration of scoops which is fixed to a boom and is capable of rotating. Material picked up by the cutting wheel is transferred back along the boom.
