Abstract
A material handler implement (commonly referred to as a tractor, or skid steer bucket) permitting an excavator equipped with a hydraulic levelling blade, to load, transport, and discharge large volumes of materials is disclosed. The material handler is comprised of 3 primary components. One oversized rectangular material handler which contains the material. Rear adjustable quick attach system which permit the material handler to be securely mounted to the hydraulic levelling blade of an excavator. A
forward mounted adjustable cradle carry arm which permits the material handler to be lifted and/or discharged by the excavators hydraulic digging shovel. The carry cradle has adjustable positions to either carry, or discharge the material handler. The material handler features 2 removable forward mounted stakes to permit the loading of material (such as logs) which surpass the width of the bucket.
In one embodiment, the material handler is comprised of a floor, left and right lateral walls and a rear wall.
The cradle carry cradle component is secured to the rear wall and motioned on an angle towards the center of the material handler. The two quick attach units are mounted to the left and right section of the rear wall of the material handler. The stake pockets are situated on the interior of the forward portion of the material handler.
forward mounted adjustable cradle carry arm which permits the material handler to be lifted and/or discharged by the excavators hydraulic digging shovel. The carry cradle has adjustable positions to either carry, or discharge the material handler. The material handler features 2 removable forward mounted stakes to permit the loading of material (such as logs) which surpass the width of the bucket.

Description
Title: Material Handler "Bucket" implement for a track excavator blade Description Preface:
Compact excavators have experienced tremendous growth & popularity in the market. They are very functional machines but are inefficient for manoeuvring large amounts of material in a single charge. In many cases, contractors require an additional machine (skid steer or loader) to displace larger amounts of material such as earth and gravel.
The market currently offers numerous implements for the hydraulic arm of an excavator, but no implements are offered or designed to attach to the hydraulic levelling blade of a track excavator. The hydraulic levelling blade is standard with most compact excavators and the hydraulic cylinder which supports the blade is designed to lift and stabilize the excavator during the digging process. The lifting capacity of this cylinder is sufficient enough to manage considerable weight capacities. Our proposed material handler will significantly increase the multifunctional ability of a track excavator by enabling it to scoop, transport, and discharge large amounts (as much as 8 times current capacity) of material via a non-hydraulic attachment designed to attach to the existing track excavator blade. The unit takes advantage of the existing hydraulic components of a track excavator (arm, shovel & blade) and allow the operator to manoeuvre and handle various large volumes of material.
Description:
The invention relates to a material handler "commonly known as a tractor or skid steer bucket" that attaches to the hydraulic blade of a track excavator via twin quick connect rear assembly mounts. This allows the device to act as as a material handling bucket /shovel, for which the excavator can carry, scoop, lift and discharge large amounts of material using the existing hydraulics of the excavator blade.
Material can be loaded into the material handler by advancing into the material with the excavator or by loading it with the excavators digging bucket. The material handler can be installed by approaching it until the lower portion of the excavator blade touches the back wall of the blade bucket, and then by simply lifting the hydraulic blade until it enters the 2 rear quick connectors. To release the material handler, the operator simply lowers the track excavator blade and backs away.
The material handler may be manipulated by the hydraulic excavator arm and digging bucket via the forward carry cradle. This carry cradle allows the excavator to grab the horizontal forward mounted carry cradle and displace the unit. The carry cradle has a second vertical pin position to allow for discharging material.
Note #1: The operator remains inside the excavator to mount and dismount the material handler.
Note #2: No hydraulic connections required for the attachment of the material handler to the track excavator blade.
