Anyone know how much a 50cm jcb bucket weighs?

[MrFluffy]

As the title says, anyone here have a rough idea what a jcb brand 50cm digging bucket for a 3c/3cx weighs?
Im trying to price shipping to here for one, and the couriers have strict max limits. I know a few of you out there repair buckets etc on a regular basis, so am hoping someone might know.

Would a half pallet be a better bet? Add other stuff on as well if you can / need to help cover the costs.

When it goes over a certain weight, transport to france becomes so expensive that I will have to get it couriered within the uk to a friend, then he can bring it over with him later on. But I could do with it now...

Around 120Kg from this pdf. About page 6

Hmm well over the limit then, best ring my mate and tell him to expect a bucket in the post along with all the other stuff he's bringing
Thanks.

If it's a heavy duty bucket, probably closer to 150Kg

id guess about 4-5cwt, on a 2' bucket, depending on build duty.......

 

[MrFluffy]

Eeek 4-5cwt = 200-250kgs it gets worse. Is that the empty weight or the carrying capacity?

empty weight, at least its not for a 21tonner for hardox and the adapters would weigh that...., it does depend on the build weight of the bucket and the age.......you'd be OK putting one in a van

 

[MrFluffy]

Aye but it has to get put on a pallet and be couriered between aberdeen and chesterfield where the van is parked.
It might work out cheaper to buy a new bucket from one of the ebay firms at this rate. They seem to be able to send theirs out for 35 quid, but Ive not seen a quote much under 90 yet...
