HLA SBLP54HDT6 54-Inch Heavy Duty Low Profile Skid Steer Bucket
View on hlaattachments.com →
Overview
The HLA SBLP54HDT6 is a 54-inch heavy duty low profile skid steer bucket with six ripper teeth, made in Ontario by HLA Attachments. The 54-inch width fills the gap between 48 and 60 inches, useful for operators who work primarily in tight corridors but need slightly more capacity than a 48-inch provides. Low-profile design keeps the bucket's centre of gravity close to the machine. Tapered end plates are self-cleaning.

Is This Right For You?

- You need one versatile bucket for gravel, soil, concrete chunks, and general debris
- Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S650 class) or CTL

- You need clamshell/4-in-1 functionality
🔍 Also consider…
- Rock bucket if your primary work is shot rock or frozen ground
- 4-in-1 (multipurpose) bucket if you also need occasional grading or clamshell action

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
