Abstract
A screening bucket system for screening debris out of otherwise clean materials. The screening bucket system generally includes a bucket adapted to be connected to a loader. The bucket includes a rear wall, a pair of side walls, and a blade across its front end. A floor of the bucket is hingedly connected at a front end to the side walls by a hinge. The rear end of the floor includes a rod mount to which a lift rod powered by a motor is rotatably connected such that, when the lift rod is raised or lowered, the free end of the floor raises and lowers while the hinged end of the floor rotates about the hinge. A screen may be positioned on the floor such that materials on the screen may be sifted of debris by activating the lift rod to rapidly raise and lower the floor and screen.
