3 Miller has over thirty years of experience. Buckets are our Business Miller was established as a mobile welding service in 1978, specialising in on-site bucket repair and refurbishment. Even at this early stage the outstanding Miller work ethic was evident in the determination to provide a second to none service. This standard formed the company s foundation and remains the cornerstone of its ethos today. In the early 1980s, having learned the limitations of traditional buckets, Miller began to design and manufacture wheeled loading shovels and hydraulic excavator buckets. Over time the orders started to increase and more customers in the construction, mining and quarrying industries began to specify Miller Buckets. Miller s commitment to produce quality, reliable buckets that would optimise machine performance soon became evident within the industry and as the company s profile and reputation was realised, Miller became a brand to trust. By 1989 the company had expanded substantially and the first Miller Quick Coupler was launched. The lengthy and sometimes dangerous process of bucket and attachment changeover was transformed to a quick, clean and simple procedure enabling operators to work more efficiently, productively and safely. On the back of the success of the quick coupler range next came the revolutionary Scoop bucket. The Scoop was Miller s answer to the perceived loss in digging power resulting from quick coupler use on larger excavators. Designed to minimise the additional pin-to-point distance gained when installing a coupler, the Scoop and coupler combination can help maximise excavator efficiency and versatility. Today Miller offers an extensive range of buckets for different machine types ranging from 1 to 550 tonne in weight. Designed to complement and enhance machine performance, Miller buckets have a reputation for strength, durability and reliability, which stems from the quality workmanship and dedication that goes into producing every single product. 2 3

4 The Miller Scoop needs minimum effort for maximum results. The Scoop Bucket The Miller Scoop is a revolutionary bucket that can maximise machine productivity, efficiency and profitability. This unique and patented design will optimise machine performance and lower operating costs. Specifically designed to be used with a Miller Quick Coupler, the Scoop has integrated bucket pins to reduce the pin to point dimension* and minimise the loss in breakout force that occurs when a quick coupler is installed. The Scoop profile enables the bucket to cut through the ground more effectively with minimal resistance and drag. The self fill action gives an increased pay load. These combined benefits result in time and fuel savings. * pin to point dimension = distance from the dipper arm to the tip of the bucket Built to Perform, whatever the application It is important that the correct specification bucket is fitted to your machine, therefore Miller offers the Scoop in the following options: MB500 MB600 MB700 MB800 Digging and loading loose and semi compacted material such as earth, sand, gravel and clay. Digging and loading compacted and semi-abrasive materials such as mixtures of earth, rock, sand, gravel and clay. Also suitable for plain coal, chalk and other low abrasion ores. Digging and loading hard and abrasive materials like rocky soil, blasted rock and limestone. Aggressive digging and loading of highly abrasive materials such as granite and basalt. The Scoop profile enables the bucket to cut through the ground more effectively with minimal resistance and drag 4 5

5 Scoop Performance Test Test conditions: 20 minutes trench digging trials in overburden and silt clay, Wisconsin, USA. The same driver was used for all tests in a 30 tonne excavator and the results were collated by an independent auditor. During the tests calculations were made to establish which of the buckets were loaded to SAE rating in accordance with the manufacturer s specification. The Scoop was the only bucket that delivered what it promises and consistently had a higher fill factor. The Scoop s unique and patented design can maximise your work rate, lower your costs and optimise your performance. More power More fill 100% Fill The Scoop has integrated bucket pins to reduce the pin to point dimension and minimise the loss in breakout force that occurs when a quick coupler is installed. The self fill action gives an increased pay load. These combined benefits result in time and fuel savings. Saves Time and Money When carrying out trials with the Scoop we saved over 2.5 litres per hour in fuel consumption compared with a conventional bucket from any other manufacturer. The Scoop design also enabled us to dig faster and cut through more material much more easily. It saved time and money and allowed the operator to get the best from the machine.

6 The tried and tested Direct Mount Bucket is strong and durable with a unique design that enhances efficiency and productivity. The Direct Mount Bucket With years of on-site knowledge and manufacturing experience Miller designs are continually re-evaluated to enhance machine productivity. The tried and tested Direct Mount Bucket is strong and durable with a unique design that can improve efficiency and productivity. Miller Direct Mount Buckets can be used either with a quick coupler or directly mounted to the machine. More efficiency Miller s design reduces the area of the bucket that engages with the ground, creating less resistance than a conventional bucket during the digging cycle. All ground engaging areas are manufactured from high strength abrasion resistant steel alloy. More productivity The design of the bucket ensures a higher fill factor every time. Even sticky materials can be dumped with ease and the compact shape of the bucket improves the machine s digging force in most applications. Built to perform whatever the application It is important that the correct specification bucket is fitted to your machine, therefore Miller offers the Direct Mount in the following options: MB 500 Digging and loading loose and semi compacted material such as earth, sand, gravel and clay. MB 600 Digging and loading compacted and semi-abrasive materials such as mixtures of earth, rock, sand, gravel and clay. Also suitable for plain coal, chalk and other low abrasion ores. MB 700 Digging and loading hard and abrasive materials like rocky soil, blasted rock and limestone. MB 800 Aggressive digging and loading in highly abrasive materials such as granite and basalt. Innovatively designed through close working relationships with the world s leading OEMs, the Miller Direct Mount Bucket complements machines to optimise performance. 8 9

12 Don t just take our word for it Endorsements from some of our existing customers... Save Time In Iceland our customers operate in an increasingly competitive marketplace the need to save time and money as well as improve flexibility are high priorities. Miller s Scoop enables us to provide our customers with enhanced machine performance to improve productivity and profitability. In addition, use of the Scoop with one of Miller s tried and tested quick couplers allows fleet versatility and flexibility. Ævar orsteinsson, Kraftvelar, Iceland Easier to Load You could feel the difference when digging with the Miller Bucket. The material was much easier to load and this particular application of sticky clay could be released without any difficulty. Gordon McLeod, Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland Complete Any Task I have made Miller s Mini Coupler and Task Bucket Range available to my customers and they now find bucket changeover quick, easy and an altogether much cleaner process.
