The Dragline Bucket, manufactured for Dragline Excavators, is used for excavating, transporting, and discharging materials such as loose soil, coal, sand, or gravel.

Dragline Bucket's Structural Features

Bucket: Generally large, made of steel (Hardox, etc.), and equipped with special teeth.
Drag rope: Used to pull the bucket forward.
Hoist rope: Lifts the bucket.
Boom: Long arm that carries the bucket.
Dumping mechanism: Allows the material in the bucket to be discharged.

Dragline Bucket's Operating Mechanism

1. The bucket is lowered to the ground where the material will be loaded.
2. The drag rope is pulled, scraping the ground and collecting the material.
3. The bucket is raised with the hoist rope.
4. The bucket is moved to the desired location.
5. The material is discharged by opening the bucket or by pulling the hoist rope in reverse.
This process is repeated, allowing for the rapid transportation of large amounts of excavation or ore.
