MD Style Buckets are the most commonly used buckets for general purpose elevators. They are widely used for fine and medium sized materials and also for heavy, abrasive materials. These buckets feature reinforced front lips for a long-wearing digging edge, along with uniform wall thickness and reinforced corners for strength.
