About This Product

Bear Iron Works Bedding Boxes are designed by experienced dirt workers who understand real jobsite needs. The 1 Cubic Yard Bedding Box is the first-ever model specifically for mini excavators, engineered for trenching efficiency and material containment. With an optional skid steer attachment plate, it becomes a versatile combo tool for tight spaces. Use it to hold bedding sand for utility pipe installation, or as a rock box, sand box, topsoil bin, or gravel bin. Reinforced features eliminate weak points through years of field-tested improvements: schedule 80 pipe cross members, fully gusseted neck/sidewalls/toe edges, fish-plated underside for drag resistance, and D-rings for rigging. Lightweight but strong to stay within mini excavator limits, it prevents material loss in confined areas, reduces round trips, and enables accurate grading. The streamlined design delivers premium durability at competitive prices. Easy to operate and maintain, it works seamlessly with your compact equipment.
