Tiger-Tuff
Tiger-Tuff
Tiger-Tuff is the original maximum duty elevator bucket. We designed and engineered it to increase bucket life. It lasts longer, so you replace fewer buckets, lowering downtime and maintenance costs. The Tiger-Tuff has proven its value over and over around the world. High volume applications are perfect for Tiger-Tuff. Minimum spacing is nominal projection plus 1”. The recommended belt width for a single row of buckets is actual bucket width plus 2″.

- Decreases Elevator Down-Time
Tiger-Tuff Low Profile Option
A reduced back height for closer vertical spacing allows more buckets per foot of elevator belt. Open sides allow for optimal fill under less desirable elevator feeding conditions.
When upgrading to Low Profile buckets horsepower requirements must be evaluated due to increased capacity.
Other Considerations
DRILLING: Elevator buckets are manufactured without a drill pattern. Special drilling or punching can be accommodated upon customer request.
VENTING: Available as needed. See venting options in our catalog.
DIGGER BUCKETS: Use slightly larger metal digger elevator buckets to help loosen material in the elevator boot section that has set up or hardened, thereby reducing abrasion on the plastic buckets. Call for details on Metal Digger elevator bucket options.
SPACING: See elevator bucket spacing details in the size chart (depending on materials and speeds, smaller and larger spacing may be used).
INSTALLATION: Use a #1 standard elevator bolt or Sabre-Tooth elevator bolt for installation. Designed to be used with fender or flat and lock washers and hex or locking nuts. If buckets are being installed on chain, use hex head bolts, nuts and washers.
FDA: Both the urethane and polyethylene are designed to FDA specifications for direct contact with food products.
