A new addition to 4B’s Jumbo bucket line offers greater versatility and efficiency for a wide range of material handling applications.
Founded in the UK, 4B has been providing high-quality and dependable elevator buckets for more than 50 years.
The company specialises in manufacturing components for the agricultural and industrial sectors.
Among its most popular offerings is its Jumbo line of buckets Part of 4B’s ‘high efficiency’ range, they are designed with thick corners, front face, and back wall to ensure they provide abrasion resistance and durability.
“Our Jumbo products are considered the most efficient and durable elevator buckets available in the global market today,” 4B material handling division vice president Roger Bruère said.
To offer greater flexibility for its customers’ various processing needs, the company has unveiled a 20×10-inch-sized bucket.
“The new 20×10 option is ideal for high-throughput bucket elevator systems, grain loading port or train terminals or high-wear applications where the elevator is feeding on the downside or moving abrasive product,” Bruère said.
The bucket features a wingless design and tapered bottom to deliver extremely efficient fill and discharge.
They are also able to nest for reduced freight and storage costs.
At water level +10 per cent, the capacity of the 20×10 is 18.68L, making 700tph attainable with a single row. When installed in low profile configuration, 816tph can be achieved, with up to 2,448tph possible in a triple row configuration.

“With the Jumbo 20×10 size, it takes fewer buckets to achieve more tonnes per hour and less labour to install them on the belt, translating to lower costs. Plus, a narrower elevator leg casing can be used, allowing it to fit in tighter, more constrained spaces,” Bruère said
The new bucket can be equipped with 4B’s optional ‘Super Vent’. The company has found the Super Vent option is more efficient than Vent #3 and Vent #4 patterns. In addition to supplying the buckets, the company can partner with businesses to design new bucket conveyors and upgrade existing machines.
This design service is offered free of charge and is supported by 4B’s full guarantee.
4B Australia managing director Paul Dennis said the company’s goal is to continue offering products that enhance operational efficiency while delivering long-term value to its Australian customers.
“We are excited about the opportunities that the expanded Jumbo line, as well as the JCC-S and High Efficiency buckets, will bring to the Australian market,” he said.
