What happens here

Learn about Bear Iron Works' bedding boxes, which are smaller versions of traditional stone boats or rock boxes, specifically designed for mini-excavators. They feature a universal skid-steer attachment plate on the side, allowing a skid-steer to pick up and move the box, or a dump truck to dump material directly into it. This streamlines the process of moving bedding sand or other materials directly to an excavator working in a trench. Available in 1, 2, and 3 cubic yard sizes.

Goal: Understand the features and applications of bedding boxes for material management.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Truck N/A — Delivering material directly into the bedding box
  • Mini-Excavator CAT — Retrieving material from the bedding box for trenching
  • Skid-Steer N/A — Moving the bedding box
  • Bedding Sand/Material N/A — Filling trenches or for landscaping

guys. We're back at Bear Iron Works with Rogan and now you have something that is maybe slightly familiar to you guys, but you've done some innovation with it. >> Yes. So, we've taken the the traditional bedding box here. You might know it as a stone boat or a rock box and we made it smaller for a mini excavator. That way you can use it for not just trenching in tight side utilities, but you can also use it for landscaping and different material management. Then we did the next thing here is we put a skid steer attachment plate universal attachment plate on the side. So, you can actually pick this up with your skid steer. You could have a dump truck dump straight into this thing and bring the bedding box straight to your excavator here. So, if you come in here, we've got a little uh small scale construction site here. You can see a bedding box being used in a in a traditional setting. It's going to be holding your bedding sand when you're installing your pipe in the ground and it just moves along with your excavator along the trench as you go along. So, you can have a seamless operation and you can keep your sand moving with you. So, you're not wasting any material. So, it's your dad was saying truck to trench. >> Truck to trench. Yeah, you could bring because of the skid steer attachment plate, your dump truck can actually just line up right here. It's the right width for it that you could just crack your gate, dump straight into it, fill up the cubic yard, which is this size. We also make a 2 cubic yard. Then it just right away take it straight to your excavator, drop it right there. He can keep his trenching operation moving forward. So, that way your your trenching operation never stops. And do you have different sizes of this as well, Rogan? >> just like all of our products, we make everything from the smallest products here for mini excavators all the way up to the biggest. We make up to a 12 cubic yard bedding box for use with the large utility installs. Okay. And again, if guys want more information on these, it's beariron.com. All right, guys. Let's keep the show
