American-Made Buckets for Any Application

Did you know 4B Agricultural Buckets are Made in the USA?


The agricultural buckets supplied to the Americas are produced primarily at our molding facility in Morton, Illinois.


With proven geometry and design features, plus the added benefit of stackability to save on freight and storage, 4B buckets outperform the rest. We offer buckets and cups for a huge range of agricultural and industrial applications – more than 400 different sizes and styles!


Our engineers incorporate key features like stronger front lips and maximum material thickness to stand up to any environment.


Steel buckets have a wingless design that delivers lighter weight than fabricated equivalents with closer vertical spacing possible.


Intensive research brought the industry our Super Starco™ low profile steel industrial buckets, which deliver max individual bucket capacity along with the perfect fill and discharge characteristics of the original Starco bucket.


Our Jumbo CC-S® Low-Profile Bucket is unique in the industry – manufactured as a one-piece molded unit instead of a cut-down standard bucket for the most consistent, accurate dimensions. It is also more environmentally friendly with no scrap material discarded during manufacturing.


And that’s just the start of more than 400 choices. 4B buckets are built for bigger capacities, longer life and cleaner discharges. Count on 4B plastic, steel and stainless steel elevator buckets and cups for your agricultural and industrial applications.

Tackling Labor & Supply Chain Issues


Registration is now open for the American Feed Industry Association’s Equipment Manufacturers Conference – and 4B has a special tie to this year’s event. The conference will be chaired by our President, Johnny Wheat.


“This conference brings together many stakeholders of the feed equipment world – manufacturers, installers, contractors – to learn, grow, engage and network,” he says. “It’s a special opportunity for us to tackle today’s most pressing issues and learn alongside our industry peers.”


For Johnny, the conference’s underlying mission sparks his drive for success even more. Net proceeds from the event support the EMC Scholarship Fund, which distributes awards to animal food industry students at seven different universities.


“The EMC Conference is really dual-pronged growth – feeding both the industry’s current success and future growth channels,” Johnny says.


This year’s event centers around helping industry members address the labor and supply chain issues impacting businesses worldwide, while honing in on feed-specific concerns. Sessions include recruiting and retention, navigating the new supply chain and lessons from the Pandemic on better business management – a panel Johnny himself will be part of.


The 2023 AFIA EMC Conference is set for November 8-10 in Tucson, Arizona, at the Omni Tucson National Resort.


And be sure to stop by the hospitality suite sponsored by 4B while you’re at the conference!
