Why Would Roy-Mar Use a Skeleton Bucket for Demolition? ☠️
There's a reason you'll see more skelly buckets on Roy-Mar's demolition sites these days.
The setup is simple but smart: a skeleton bucket paired with a progressive link thumb. The open design lets operators see straight through the bucket while pulling material down — no guessing what's underneath, just a clear view of the job as it happens.
That visibility pairs with serious mechanical advantage. The PL thumb gives operators max curl and extension, so they're not fighting the material, they're working with it.
But the real advantage shows up after the pull. As material moves through the bucket, dirt filters out through the skeleton frame — leaving cleaner loads on the trucks and usable backfill left behind on site. Less waste hauled, less material wasted.
It's a small setup change that adds up to a real workflow difference. Roy-Mar liked the results enough that they've kept expanding their skelly lineup ever since making the switch.
Sometimes the right attachment isn't about doing more — it's about doing the job smarter.
