Overview
HLA's low-profile smooth-edge bucket is Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding in Listowel. The 60-inch smooth-edge model is priced at approximately $1,600 CAD through Langner Equipment. The low-profile design reduces center of gravity while carrying, and the smooth-edge bottom is suited for grading and finish work rather than aggressive digging.

Care & Maintenance
- Grease the bucket pin and hinge points every 20 hours of use — dry pins wear oval and cause slop in the carrier, which transfers shock to the coupler
- Inspect the cutting edge for wear after work in rock, frozen ground, or hard fill — replace or flip bolt-on edges when worn to 50% of original thickness
- Check coupler latch engagement before every use — a partially latched bucket can release under load
- Clean debris from behind the cutting edge to prevent buildup that warps the edge over time; dried material also traps moisture against bare steel
- Inspect sidewall and base plate welds for cracking after heavy rock or demolition work — cracks spread rapidly if caught late
