Description

CID Attachments Concrete Bucket For Mini Skid Steers

The CID Attachments Concrete Bucket For Mini Skid Steers is a specialty attachment designed to transport freshly mixed concrete from a mixer or ready-mix truck to the pour location using a Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT, or compatible mini skid steer as the carrier machine. Moving concrete in confined spaces where a concrete truck cannot position its chute has traditionally required laborious wheelbarrow work. The CID Mini Skid Steer Concrete Bucket replaces that labor-intensive process with a purpose-built transport container that mounts to the machine’s attachment plate and uses gravity or a controlled dump gate to discharge concrete precisely at the pour location.

Bucket Design and Discharge

The concrete bucket is fabricated from heavy-gauge steel with a smooth interior that allows concrete to flow cleanly without excessive adhesion to the walls. The discharge mechanism is designed to release concrete in a controlled stream rather than a sudden dump, allowing the operator to regulate pour rate and position precisely. The structural frame transfers loads from the full bucket to the machine’s lift arms without deflecting, maintaining control of the bucket position during travel and discharge.

Heavy-gauge steel construction for concrete transport loads

Smooth interior for clean concrete flow and easy cleanup

Controlled discharge mechanism for regulated pour positioning

Compatible with Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT, and compatible mini skid steer mounting systems

Designed to work within the rated operating capacity of compact mini skid steer platforms

Applications

The concrete bucket is used in applications including footing and foundation pours in tight residential spaces, decorative concrete placement in landscape projects where truck access is impossible, barn and agricultural building floor work, pool deck and patio pours where the mini skid steer’s light footprint avoids damaging existing turf or landscaping, and fence post base work across large properties where carrying concrete by hand would be prohibitively slow.

The compact size of the mini skid steer platform means the concrete bucket can work in spaces that are inaccessible to larger concrete handling equipment. This makes it particularly valuable on infill construction sites in urban areas, on properties with existing buildings that restrict truck access, and on hillside or sloped sites where a full-size machine would pose a stability risk.

Productivity and Workflow

A typical workflow pairs the concrete bucket with a portable drum mixer or a small ready-mix truck. The mini skid steer operator drives to the mixing point, positions under the chute, fills the bucket, then drives to the pour location and discharges. Round-trip cycle times are typically much shorter than wheelbarrow work, particularly when the pour location is more than 50 feet from the mixing point. Multiple trips can be made during a single pour, maintaining a continuous supply of concrete without the fatigue associated with wheelbarrow transport.

Cleanup and Maintenance

Concrete residue must be cleaned from the bucket before it sets, as hardened concrete is difficult to remove without chipping and can reduce discharge gate clearances. After each use, flush the bucket interior with water and operate the discharge gate through its full range to remove any accumulated concrete from the gate mechanism. Inspect the mounting hardware and gate mechanism for wear at regular intervals.
