Riddle Bucket

Posted by Jackson's Landscape Design on January 5, 2012 at 10:17pm in Landscaping

Before I ring Hewden Hire tomorrow I thought I'd see whether any juicers could assist me in the hiring price of a riddle bucket, must be suitable to fit a quick release hitch to a Bobcat E80 8 ton 360 degree excavator ?

The bucket is required in the Dartmoor area of Devon and durable to sift 3000 tons of subsoil - granite.

Many thanks for your attention if you can assist me feel free to call me on 01626 332533

Thanks

Kerry

    He may a bit far to help you directly but Peter Woolnough deals in equipment like this and may know someone who could help:

    Hi Kerry

    I may be speaking out of turn - don't know loads about earthworks  - but my first thought would be to use a trommel/screening machine for a job like that. 

    3000t at 1t/bucket would be 3000 buckets full- would take ages with shaking each load!  with a big machine as above you'd just have to load it.  Many/most have tracks so can be moved about to work area...?

    The only time I have used a riddle bucket was on a site to sift out the granite setts that had been lifted and were being sold on and the less soil/spoil the better the price per tonne.

    It was about 8 years ago though and I have no idea of the cost sorry.

    Is this what its for Kerry??

    HI Andy

    Deficiently not speaking out of turn, infact, your talking my language....Wow what a tool....I do have a sub soil, rammed earth sifter my self, I believe my sifter is too small for the project.

    Thanks for the positive thoughts

    Kerry

    Hi Peter

    Thanks for your prompt attention

    I'll give  Richard Cooper at Cotswold Recycling a bell tomorrow and see what he can do....must admit I like what I see with the trommel/screening machine...however what ever recycles the largest quants at the quickest rates has my wholesome interest.

    Thanks for your attention

    can you hire a larger / tractor from a contractor and screener for the day to get the job done -   

    just an idea   (thinking big)   

    http://www.arrichards.co.uk/Headings/Recycling/materials_recycling_...

    this local farmer turned business man does it near us ......   maybe cheaper /quicker .  good luck kerry.

    Hi George

    I wish it was for recycling granite setts, I require  a cut and fill to an area on Dartmoor Devon, the fill is 3k ton and the recycled granite will face off an 18 inch retainng wall, 51 lm x 2m high, so I need plenty of fill and granite...no point importing when the whole area is sat on a belt of granite...

    regards

    Kerry

    I'll be on it in the morning

    Kerry
