Description
Wain Roy / Paladin
Separates rock from soil
52,000–65,000 lb excavators
Overview
This Wain Roy 26 ton excavator skeleton bucket separates rock, roots and debris from soil as you dig, on 52,000–65,000 lb excavators. It mounts on a pin-on or quick coupler mounting. The open tine floor is the whole design — spoil falls through while the material you want to remove stays in the bucket, so you sort on the machine instead of screening afterwards. Offered across 5 SKUs, weight not published for this model.
Key Features of This Wain Roy 26 Ton Excavator Skeleton Bucket
- Open tine floor — soil and fines fall through, rock and debris stay in.
- Sorts in one pass, removing a separate screening step from the job.
- Robust construction for demanding site conditions.
- 5 SKUs — Wain Roy publishes no attachment weight for these models.
- Catalogued elsewhere as an excavator skeleton bucket — the naming varies more than the product does.
- Catalogued elsewhere as a rock separator bucket — the naming varies more than the product does.
- Often searched for as a sorting bucket for excavator — same product, different trade name.
- Often searched for as a skeleton rock bucket — same product, different trade name.
Why Choose This Attachment
- Screening on the machine beats screening afterwards. A solid bucket lifts rock and soil together, and separating them later means handling everything twice.
- Topsoil is worth keeping. Letting fines fall back through the tines leaves the good material on site rather than in a skip.
- Width is a throughput decision, not a capacity one. A wider skeleton bucket sifts more per pass but fills your lift with material you are trying to drop.
Wain Roy 26 Ton Excavator Skeleton Bucket Specifications

Skeleton, Dirt or Rock?
The question is whether you want to keep what you dig, move it, or sort it.
| Attachment | Built for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Skeleton bucket | Separating rock and debris FROM soil | Holds no fines — not a general bucket |
| Dirt bucket | Moving material, trenching, loading | Takes the soil with the rock |
| Severe duty rock | Sustained work in rock | Heavier — costs payload, buys service life |
For a different machine class the 12MT skeleton bucket is the mainstream option. To move material rather than sort it the dirt bucket is the everyday tool, and for sustained work in rock the severe duty rock bucket is the heavier build.

26 Ton Excavator Skeleton Bucket Questions, Answered
How does a skeleton bucket work?
The floor is open tines rather than solid plate. As you dig and lift, soil and fines fall back through while rock, roots and debris stay in. You sort on the machine instead of screening afterwards.
Will it work in wet clay?
Less well. Sticky material bridges across the tines instead of falling through — a limitation of every skeleton bucket, not this one. Dry and granular spoil sifts best.
Can it replace a dirt bucket?
No. It cannot hold fine material, which is most of what a dirt bucket moves. It is a sorting tool, not a general one.
What width should I choose?
Wider sifts more per pass, but a full skeleton bucket still weighs what it weighs. On a smaller machine the widest option is not always the fastest.
Is a skeleton bucket the same as a screening bucket?
A powered screening bucket rotates or vibrates. This has no moving parts and needs no hydraulics — it riddles material by lifting it, which is simpler and has nothing to fail.
Why is no weight listed?
Because Wain Roy does not publish one for these models. The only pound figure on the source pages is the 52,000–65,000 lb EXCAVATOR class from the product name, and publishing that as an attachment weight would be badly wrong. We would rather say nothing — call us for a shipping figure.
Is this the same as a riddle bucket?
Yes — riddle bucket, open tine bucket, screening bucket for excavator all describe this product. Terminology varies by region and trade.
