Swale Bucket for Excavator – Drainage & Ditch Cleaning Bucket

The NG Attachments Swale Bucket is engineered for drainage ditch cleaning, swale shaping, canal profiling and fine grading. Its wide, smooth profile helps operators create consistent slopes and clean channels in fewer passes, reducing rework and improving jobsite productivity.

What Is a Swale Bucket?

A swale bucket (also known as a ditch cleaning bucket or grading bucket) is designed with a wide base and smooth cutting edge to form drainage paths and maintain existing ditches. Unlike a standard digging bucket, it is optimized for profiling, shaping and finishing rather than deep trench excavation.
