The Bucket Bundie Store, developed from the same concept as the patented Bucket Bundie Fuel Bowser, was even shortlisted for the Institute of Quarrying’s Excellence Awards in the Knowledge and Innovation category - a notable achievement for the brand.
Why Wordsworth Crushing Chose the Bucket Bundie
Managing Director Oliver Wordsworth first encountered the Bucket Bundie Fuel Bowser at the Hillhead Quarry Show. Impressed by its compact design and ease of use, Oliver saw the potential to streamline on-site fuel handling and reduce operational costs.
“It’s compact, there’s no need for a tractor or other vehicle to tow the tank—so this saves costs,” Oliver commented.
“The unit is easy to use, and we’re already considering more for the future.”
Enhanced Site Efficiency and Safety
Prior to adopting the Bucket Bundie, traditional fuel tanks and towed bowsers were less efficient and posed safety challenges on rough terrain. The Bucket Bundie’s patented bucket-loading system eliminates the need for lifting chains or the operator leaving the cab.
This system allows a wheel loader to safely and securely lift the bowser using specially designed slots above the support legs. When the bucket is crowded back, the bowser is locked into position for safe transportation, even on uneven ground.
This method is significantly more practical than towing a bowser, especially in difficult-to-navigate environments.
Custom Branding and Capacities
To align with their company image, Wordsworth Crushing's Bucket Bundie units were painted in custom company colours at no additional cost, maintaining consistency across their fleet.
The Bucket Bundie Fuel Bowser is available in three capacities:
- 450 litres
- 1000 litres
- 2250 litres
Wordsworth opted for a size that best fit their high-demand operations, ensuring fuel delivery is efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
