GENERAL PURPOSE BUCKET WITH BOLT ON CUTTING EDGE – MINIMUM SPECS

BACKGROUND / STATEMENT OF NEED

Hardwood Range personnel must perform routine and corrective maintenance in accordance with AFMAN 13-212, including maintaining access roads, managing spoil piles, and supporting safe training operations.

The existing 4-in-1 bucket lacks the capacity and ef�iciency required for these tasks, slowing truck loading and material movement. A larger-capacity general-purpose bucket will signi�icantly improve productivity by enabling faster loading and more effective back-dragging to smooth roads and level spoil areas, directly enhancing overall range readiness.

The bucket shall be correctly sized and fully compatible with the Volvo L110F wheel loader (Serial No. VCEL110FP00061840) and shall interface with the VAB-STD Volvo standard quick-attach coupler.

The bucket shall have a rated capacity between 3.9 and 4.5 cubic yards, suitable for general loading, material handling, and back-dragging operations. All components shall be delivered fully compatible with the loader’s existing coupler system and meet commercial-grade durability standards.
