Why Use a Hydraulic Stemming Bucket Instead of a Shovel or 5-Gallon Bucket?
When it comes to loading stemming material into blast holes, efficiency and safety matter. Traditional methods—laborers using shovels or small buckets—are slow, inconsistent, and dangerous. There’s no reason to put your crew at risk when a Hydraulic Stemming Bucket from 425 Manufacturing can do it faster, safer, and more accurately every single time.
Built for Safety, Efficiency & Precision
Our Hydraulic Stemming Buckets remove the need for workers near open blast holes. With the touch of a lever, the 3,000 PSI hydraulic ram and precision slide gate control the flow of stemming through a 4″ diameter discharge, ensuring smooth, accurate fills—no wasted material, no overfill, no safety compromises.
Made in the USA – Rockford, Illinois
Each bucket is 100% built in-house at our Rockford, IL facility — design, machining, welding, assembly & paint — all under one roof for unmatched quality and consistency.
The Smarter, More Cost-Effective Solution
Reduce labor costs – one operator replaces a crew
