FAQ
WHAT IS A RAILWAY CRIBBING BUCKET USED FOR?
A railway cribbing bucket is a narrow excavator or backhoe attachment designed to clean ballast from the crib space between railroad ties. The narrow width — typically 8 inches — lets the bucket fit between ties without disturbing adjacent track structure. Crews use cribbing buckets for spot maintenance, undercutting prep, mud spot removal, and tie removal and insertion.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CRIBBING BUCKET AND A CLAM CRIBBING BUCKET?
A standard cribbing bucket is a single-piece attachment. It digs and clears ballast, and can stab and drag ties with its teeth. A hydraulic clam cribbing bucket adds a second moving jaw, which lets it grip and lift ties, move rail sections, and handle materials more precisely. The standard bucket is the right choice for straightforward cribbing and spot maintenance. If your crew is handling full tie replacement programs or high-volume track rehabilitation, the Hydraulic Clam Cribbing Bucket is worth a look.
WHAT SIZE CRIBBING BUCKET DO I NEED?
DymaxRail cribbing buckets are sized by machine class — from 5-ton compact excavators up to 20-ton hydraulic excavators, plus backhoe loader classes 10 and 20. The right model depends on your machine’s operating weight and coupler system. If you’re unsure, Contact DymaxRail and we’ll match you to the right configuration.
DOES A CRIBBING BUCKET WORK WITH A HI-RAIL EXCAVATOR OR BACKHOE?
Yes. The DymaxRail Cribbing Bucket pairs directly with the Rail Rider hi-rail system, letting crews crib ballast from on-rail positions without a dedicated piece of MOW equipment. It’s a common configuration for maintenance contractors and shortline operators running hi-railed backhoes or excavators.
WHAT COUPLER SYSTEMS DOES THE DYMAXRAIL CRIBBING BUCKET FIT?
Models are available for standard pin grab couplers, Wainroy-style coupler hooks (compatible with Cat, John Deere, Case, and similar machines), and tiltrotator adapter systems. If you run a non-standard coupler configuration, custom adapter solutions are available by request.
