Description
Overview:
This bucket packing shim is a flat steel washer used to tighten and stabilise bucket and linkage joints on excavators and mini diggers. It helps remove excess play, limit sideways movement, and reduce bucket wobble so the machine digs more accurately and wears less. Sized with a 30 mm inner diameter, 65 mm outer diameter and 2 mm thickness, it suits common 30 mm pin locations found on compact machines such as the EC18C and K008-3. The robust steel construction provides reliable face support between mating parts, helping to protect pins, bushes and bosses during everyday work. It is a practical service item for keeping older joints tight or for setting up new attachments with the correct clearance.
Key Features:
- 30 mm inner diameter to suit 30 mm pin bores on many compact excavators
- 2 mm thickness for fine clearance adjustment; can be stacked where appropriate
- 65 mm outer diameter for stable face contact and even load distribution
- Durable steel construction for consistent support in abrasive, high-load environments
- Helps control lateral play and bucket wobble for smoother, more accurate digging
- Reduces wear on pins, bushes and joint faces by improving alignment
- Straightforward to fit during routine pin and bush maintenance; typically no modification required
- Useful for taking up wear in bucket ears, link arms and dipper end joints
Typical Applications:
Used to pack out bucket ears, quick-hitch interfaces, linkage knuckles and dipper-end joints on mini and midi excavators. Ideal when setting the clearance on new or re-bushed attachments, or when taking up wear on older joints to restore digging accuracy, reduce rattle, and extend the service life of pins and bushes in daily construction, landscaping and utility work.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a bucket spacer, excavator spacer, digger spacer, shim washer, or packing washer. These terms all describe a thin, flat steel washer used to adjust joint clearance and stabilise bucket and linkage assemblies on excavators and diggers.
