ABSTRACT:
An ejector bucket includes a bucket frame, an ejector plate, and two actuating cylinders. The bucket frame has opposing side walls and a bottom wall extending between the side walls. The ejector plate is located within the bucket frame, and is movable between a load position where the ejector plate and the bucket frame together form a bucket for holding material and an eject position where the ejector plate has pushed substantially all of the material out of the bucket. The two hydraulic actuating cylinders are connected to the bucket frame and to the ejector plate. Each of the actuating cylinders is located adjacent to one of the side walls of the bucket frame. The actuating cylinder is operable in a push mode where an actuating rod is pushed out of the cylinder casing, and is operable in a pull mode where the actuating rod is drawn into the casing. Operation of the ejector cylinder in the pull mode causes the ejector plate to eject material from the bucket, while operation of the ejector cylinder in the push mode causes the ejector plate to move back to the load position.
