Description
Overview:
This bucket packing shim is a flat steel spacer ring used to take up side play in excavator and digger bucket joints and linkages. It helps restore a snug fit between mating parts to reduce bucket wobble and lateral movement, improving control and reducing wear on pins and bushes. The shim has a 60 mm internal diameter (2.36 in), a 100 mm external diameter (3.94 in), and a 1 mm thickness (0.04 in), making it suitable for fine adjustment where only a small clearance needs removing. Made from durable steel with a plain finish, it is suitable for everyday site use and maintenance tasks. Often referenced as MPN 300 037, it is a practical consumable for plant maintenance on a wide range of excavators and diggers.
Key Features:
- 60 mm I/D (2.36 in) for use on 60 mm interfaces where clearance needs reducing
- 100 mm O/D (3.94 in) provides ample bearing surface for stable support
- 1 mm thickness (0.04 in) allows precise spacing; can be stacked for larger adjustments
- Steel construction for strength and resistance to deformation under load
- Helps minimise bucket side play and improves digging accuracy and control
- Reduces knock and wear on pins, bushes, ears, and quick coupler interfaces
- Simple to fit during routine maintenance; no special tools required
- Round, flat profile sits neatly between mating faces for an even, predictable shim
- Suitable for use across many excavator and digger sizes where the dimensions match
- Cost-effective way to extend component life and maintain smooth operation
Typical Applications:
Used at bucket ears, linkages, dipper end joints, and quick hitch interfaces to compensate for wear or manufacturing tolerances. Ideal for groundworks, utilities, plant hire fleets, construction sites, and maintenance workshops where reducing lateral movement in the bucket assembly improves performance and reduces further wear.
Also known as:
Bucket shim, packing shim, excavator spacer, digger spacer, wear shim, shim washer, side-play shim, pin spacer ring, bucket packing washer, clearance shim for bucket linkages.
