King Series heavy-duty elevator cups are reinforced plastic elevator buckets designed for demanding bulk material handling applications where higher strength, wear resistance, and longer service life are required.
Our King Tiger series includes DK deep-bottom and SK shallow-bottom designs and can be used as reinforced alternatives to several standard elevator bucket types, including D, DS, DQ, S, and M series buckets. Imperial and metric sizes are available.
Reinforced Heavy-Duty Design
Compared with standard plastic elevator buckets, King Series buckets feature reinforced walls, thicker corner sections, and a heavier front lip.
This structural design helps improve:
- Overall bucket strength
- Impact resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- Shape stability
- Material discharge performance
- Service life in demanding applications
The reinforced design is especially suitable for applications where standard buckets may experience faster wear or deformation.
King Tiger Special Material
King Series elevator cups can be manufactured from different plastic materials according to the application, including HDPE, nylon, PU, and King Tiger special material.
The King Tiger special material is a modified high-molecular-weight polymer developed for improved wear and impact resistance compared with standard HDPE. Combined with the reinforced bucket structure, it is suitable for applications requiring stronger and more durable elevator buckets.
DK and SK Heavy Duty Bucket Types
The King Tiger series includes two main configurations:
DK Deep-Bottom Bucket
The DK series is designed for applications requiring a deep bucket profile and larger carrying capacity.
It is available in both imperial and metric dimensions and can be used as a reinforced replacement for several conventional deep-bottom bucket designs.
SK Shallow-Bottom Bucket
The SK series uses a shallower bucket profile and is suitable for applications where material discharge characteristics require a different bucket geometry.
Both DK and SK models are available in multiple dimensions for different bucket elevator systems.

Interchangeable with Standard Elevator Bucket Designs
One advantage of the King Tiger series is its compatibility with several commonly used elevator bucket styles.
Depending on the model and dimensions, King Series buckets can be selected as reinforced alternatives to standard D, DS, DQ, S, and M bucket designs. This can make replacement easier without requiring major changes to the existing elevator system.

Advantages of King Series Elevator Cups
King Series heavy-duty elevator cups are designed to offer several practical advantages:
- Reinforced structure for demanding applications
- Improved wear resistance
- Better impact resistance
- Stronger front lip and corner areas
- Good material discharge performance
- Multiple imperial and metric sizes
- Different material options
- Compatibility with standard bucket designs
The combination of reinforced structure and suitable material selection can help reduce bucket replacement frequency and maintenance requirements.
Matching Elevator Belts and Bolts
Correct bucket installation also depends on matching the bucket with suitable elevator belts and fasteners.
For belt-type bucket elevators, different PVC and rubber belt options are available in our elevator belts range.
Mounting holes can be matched with suitable elevator bolts, including fang bolts and related bucket elevator hardware.
When selecting replacement buckets, it is important to confirm:
- Bucket model or dimensions
- A, B, and C dimensions
- Mounting hole diameter
- Hole spacing
- Number of holes
- Belt width
- Material being conveyed
- Working temperature
- Required capacity
