What Is a Riddle Bucket?

A riddle bucket (also known as a skeleton bucket or shaker bucket) is a non-hydraulic excavator attachment used to separate finer materials from bulk waste. Ideal for handling brick, concrete, stone, soil, and general demolition debris, riddle buckets allow operators to streamline sorting processes, reduce waste volumes, and prepare materials for recycling or reuse.
