Why does the Power Barrow Company use Polypropylene buckets?
We considered the cost of the heavy buckets used by the competition and decided they were too expensive, especially considering that after a week on the job site they would be well beaten up. By changing to the Polypropylene buckets we not only reduced the cost of the machine by approximately $200 but we reduced the weight of the machine by 30 lbs. Our poly bucket has an 1/8th steel plate on the bottom of the bucket on both the inside and the outside effectively giving the base a 1/4 Inch of steel where it is needed most, on the BOTTOM!!! Our approach to the bucket is that, it is a CONSUMABLE which can be replaced every two years.
