What size equipment do I need to use the Cub Rock Screen?
A skid steer or mini excavator capable of handling 2200 lbs. Bucket should not exceed 94" wide to fit the 96" internal width. Contact us for wider bucket customizations.
Does the Cub Rock Screen come with a removable screen?
No, the base model does not include it. The removable screen is an optional accessory (available in 1/4" to 3" sizes) for finer screening.
Can I add a vibrator to the Cub Rock Screen?
Yes, vibrator installation is available as an accessory (~$3,000) to improve flow for wet, sticky, or fine materials.
Is the Cub suitable for wet or sticky soil?
Yes, but adding the optional vibrator greatly improves performance in clay or moisture-rich conditions.
What is the maximum rock size the Cub can handle?
Rocks up to 1–2 feet in diameter (customer feedback). Avoid dropping extremely oversized material directly on the rails.
How durable is the Cub for daily use?
Extremely durable with gusseted frame. Many customers run thousands of yards without issues. Backed by standard warranty.
How do I use the Cub Rock Screen?
- Position near material.
- Pickup via middle cross rails.
- Dump from back onto rails; fines fall through, oversize rolls forward.
Can the Cub Rock Screen be customized further?
Yes! If you need larger sizes, different spacing, lifting eyes, fork pockets, or other modifications (e.g., for excavators or forklifts), contact us. We have drawings for oversized versions and a background in mining to tailor solutions. Custom orders are made to order with quick turnaround.
What if I need to screen finer materials like topsoil?
Add the optional removable screen for precision down to 1/4". Unlike competitors limited to 1", our square wire screens provide true-to-size material. It's versatile for topsoil, sand, or even cleaning buried debris from beaches.
Is the Cub Rock Screen portable?
Yes, its design allows easy movement with a loader. At 3300 lbs, it's heavy but manageable on flat or rugged terrain. Customers have added custom fork pockets for forklift transport if needed.
How do I maintain the Cub Rock Screen?
Maintenance is minimal—clean rails after use to prevent buildup, inspect welds periodically, and store in a dry area to avoid rust. No lubrication or complex parts required. For removable screens, rinse with water if clogged.
What is the warranty on the Cub Rock Screen?
All Bear Iron Works products come with our standard warranty covering manufacturing defects. Full details are available at
www.bearironworks.net/pages/warranty. Register your product upon receipt for hassle-free support.
Can the Cub Rock Screen be used for non-soil applications?
Absolutely! Customers use it for separating rocks from manure (for clean agricultural sales), firewood from soil, trash from beach sand, or even in meat processing (contact us for details on unique uses). It's a multi-purpose separator.
How does the Cub compare to competitors?
Our streamlined design offers premium features (like no-tool screen changes and heavy-duty rails) at a fraction of the price—often half the cost of adjustable-rail grizzlies while being more versatile. See our comparison table for details on sizes from Koala to Papa.
What financing options are available?
Finance as low as $267/mo through our partners. Apply in 60 seconds with competing lenders—no impact on your credit for pre-qualification.
Is assembly required?
No, the Rock Screen ships fully assembled and ready to use. It's made to order for quality assurance.
What colors are available, and does it affect performance?
Colors (blue, red, orange) are powder-coated for rust resistance and visibility on job sites. No impact on performance—purely aesthetic and customizable.
Can I return or cancel my order?
Orders can be canceled within 24 hours. After that, all sales are final due to the custom, heavy-duty nature of the product. See our return policy for details on defects.
