The Bucket Basket*
*Patent Pending


The Bucket Basket (PN 60-BB-1) is used to store, move, load and deploy Bambi Buckets. The Basket allows two people to safely and easily move a Bambi Bucket. Those who have worked with the larger buckets know that they are heavy and difficult to move.  They also know that injuries are not uncommon while moving these buckets. The Bucket Basket allows the Bambi Bucket to be easily loaded into an aircraft for movement to the fire site. The basket and cart combination pictured here is specifically tailored for the UH-60, and allows easy loading directly from the cart into the aircraft. The Basket also provides protection for the Bambi Bucket as it is moved and allows storage in the upright position, saving floor space.
Loading the Bucket Basket

The Basket Cart (PN 60-BBC-1) is available with high flotation tires for field use. The cart is constructed to match the helicopter cargo floor deck height, so transfer from the Cart to the aircraft is easy. The bottom of the Basket is make of a plastic compound which slides easily and will not damage the cargo floor. The Cart disassembles easily for transportation. Depending upon the operation, one cart may suffice for several baskets.
Unloading the Basket

Once at the field site, the Basket may be quickly unloaded by tipping to the ground, or may be placed back on the Cart for ground transport. The Bucket Basket is light weight, durable and can be ordered in custom colors.
The Bucket Basket Gen III

Pictured here is our third generation Bucket Basket and Cart combination. We call it Gen III. This model incorporates a foldable tow bar as well as high floatation tires and a heavy duty castor assemblies. It is also slightly narrower which allows it's use in the UH-60M without the necessity of removing seats. The towbar stores underneath the cart when not in use.
