Description
Overview:
This bucket packing shim is a flat steel ring used to take up side play in excavator and digger bucket joints. Made from durable steel with a smooth, machined finish, it sits between mating faces to restore correct clearance and reduce wear. The 65 mm inner diameter suits 65 mm bucket pins or bush bores, while the 2 mm thickness is ideal for fine adjustment when a small amount of material needs to be added back after wear. It helps control bucket wobble, improves alignment through the pin and bush, and delivers steadier operation on trenching, grading, and general earthmoving work. Suitable for use across a wide range of excavators and diggers using 65 mm pin interfaces. Identified by MPN 300 041.
Key Features:
- 65 mm inner diameter to suit 65 mm pins and bushes
- 2 mm thickness for precise clearance correction and alignment
- Robust steel construction for long service life in harsh site conditions
- Helps reduce bucket wobble and sideways movement to protect pins and bushes
- Improves digging accuracy and control on couplers, linkages, and bucket ears
- Simple to fit: slip into place during pin/bush or bucket installation
- Cost‐effective way to compensate for wear without machining
- Smooth faces minimise galling and allow consistent clamping
- Useful for maintenance schedules and quick on-site adjustments
- MPN 300 041 for easy identification and reordering
Typical Applications:
Used wherever side clearance needs reducing on bucket-to-dipper, bucket-to-link, or coupler interfaces. Common during bucket changes, pin and bush replacement, and after wear has introduced play that affects control. Suitable for construction, utilities, landscaping, demolition, agriculture, and plant hire fleets needing reliable, repeatable set-up on 65 mm pin joints.
