Bucket Machines

                                      1-Set Hydraulic Bucket Machines



Sewer Equipment Company of America Bucket Machines are the best in the world for both public works and private contractors interested in cost-effective, complete evacuation of sand, heavy sludge, and solids from large and small diameter underground pipes without the expense of digging or large capital investment combination vacuum trucks. Extremely effective in sewers that have high water flows which makes jetting ineffective.

  • Clean several sections without blocking traffic flow.
  • The daily work of Sewer Equipment Company of America's Pull-In & Truck Loader Bucket Machines demands a rugged design of heavy duty steel I-Beam base frames, with the strongest in the industry vertical uprights constructed of steel H-Beams for the really big jobs.
  • Our primary cable drums have a standard capacity of up to 1000 ft. of 1/2"e (300 M. of 13mm) steel wire tow cable and have positive clutches designed for manual operation with a positive locking safety handle that is easily engaged & disengaged. Also available are optional 1500 ft. capacity units.

          Pull-In Machines Feature:

  • Each trailer comes with an easy swivel, retractable positioning wheel and two leaf-spring suspended pneumatic highway grade tires on a single heavy duty steel axle.
  • For operator safety the main primary cable drum is never more than 10° from parallel from the vertical uprights in order to provide maximum pulling capability and stability to the job.

    Truck Loaders Feature:

    • All truck loaders are equipped with durable, heavy duty steel shaker springs & discharge bars to automatically dump the debris from the pipe into the waiting truck.
    • We offer 3 different truck loader ramp sizes. All are made of heavy gauge steel with I-Beam runners & 4" channel struts. All ramps have multiple replaceable steel bucket skids for extended life of the ramp

      Options & Accessories

    • An optional Double Scroll is available for our truck loader bucket machines. The Double Scroll is especially vital on large diameter, heavy loads - as it enables the primary tow cable to be evenly laid on to the drum and avoids excessive wearing of the level winder due to the jarring strains of unusually heavy loads.

    • An optional Floating Scroll with Pull-In Units allows for heavy lifts, while protecting the cable by uniformly wrapping the cable without any damaging crossing action. This keeps your Pull-In Unit's level winder in good operating condition much longer.

    • Multiple choices for power systems: We offer systems ranging from 10 HP to 100 HP (7kW - 75kW) gasoline or diesel engines. Typical accessories include electrical starters, heavy duty alternators, 12-volt batteries, emergency cable drum reel crank, ball or pintle tow hitch, safety chain, electrical connector plugs and breakaway safety devices.

    • Sewer Equipment Company of America offers 3 Truck Loader models. The Truck Loader will handle 6" to 22" buckets, the Heavy Duty Truck Loader will handle 6" to 24" buckets, and the Extra Heavy Duty Truck Loader can handle bucket sizes from 6" to 30".
