GSB Style Pressed Steel
Industrial Service Elevator Buckets
GSB Style elevator buckets are designed to be used in slow speed centrifugal discharge bucket elevators, running belt or v-belt. This style bucket does not have a wear lip and is a seemless bucket, having no welds, furthermore is a more economical option as compared to the more abrasive resistant AA design. Typically, GS buckets elevate dense and packed materials, yet sometimes are used for fluffy and free flowing materials where slow speed discharge is required.
Typical Products Elevated:
Aggregates, Asphalt, Cement, Clay, Coal, Cullet, Fertilizer, Glass, Gravel, Gypsum, Lime, Salt, Sawdust, Sand, Steel Shot, Sugar, Wood Chips as well as many others...

Why Use “Net” Capacity for Engineering Purposes
T.O.P.S. Inc recommends using “Net” capacity on all industrial style elevator buckets for “real world” engineering. Industrial products have high angles of repose due to their sluggish and dense nature, causing product to form a mound in the elevator bucket when loaded; which is also known as Net Capacity. This calculation allows for a more accurate, yet still conservative elevator bucket rating and has been in use for many years among engineers and bucket elevator manufacturers worldwide. Please don’t hesitate to contact T.O.P.S. Inc for engineering recommendations.
