Product Narrative
The Maxi-Lift Tiger-Tuff agricultural elevator bucket is engineered to last longer than the competition, giving you reliable output from your agricultural elevators without worrying about constantly replacing the buckets.
The Tiger-Tuff is also available with a reduced back height, allowing for closer vertical spacing so you can fit more buckets per foot on each agricultural elevator belt. And with the Tiger-Tuff’s open sides, you can reach optimal elevator fill levels in even less-than-optimal filling conditions.
Tiger-Tuff is the global standard in reliable, high-performance agricultural elevator buckets.

Vent Your Buckets
Tiger-Tuff Agricultural Bucket Venting
The DuraPlas venting system features a series of vent holes at the bottom of each bucket, releasing air that would otherwise become trapped underneath the material. Trapped air can make lifting and releasing things like light and fluffy product more difficult.
Do your Tiger-Tuff buckets need venting? We can customize the venting on your Tiger-Tuff buckets so they’ll better meet your needs.
#1 Vent
Same holes in body as bolt mounting holes.
#2 Vent
One row of holes on 1-1/8″centers
#3 Vent
Two rows of holes on 1-1/8″centers.
#4 Vent
Same as #3, plus three holes in each end cap.
Custom Vent
Vented as required.
