With a diverse product offering of colors, sizes, and uses, our Little Giant® Plastic Buckets are a favorite on farms, ranches, and worksites everywhere. What makes these buckets different?
Material
“The biggest differentiator of Little Giant® buckets has got to be our outstanding quality,” Director of Engineer and Product Support, Mike Maher said. “It starts with our materials. We use High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which has exceptional impact resistance across a broad temperature range and is very resistant to chemicals. We also utilize heavy-duty gauge, galvanized metal bails which resist corrosion and stand up well to the rigorous farm and ranch environment.”
Features
Practical and affordable, our buckets have made a big impact in the lives of both animals and people. Check out how our Little Giant® Better Buckets® changed the life of a rescue horse named, Tennessee Charger.

Testing
Before we launch a new bucket, it will go through a variety of tests to ensure its quality.
“We drop it, expose it to numerous chemicals, do an accelerated life test by exposing it to high temperature/humidity, complete thermal shock testing, and impact test it” Maher said. “We also complete what we call a standard use test, that is we expose it to everything Minnesota has to offer. Sunny days in the upper 90’s to 20 below zero, rain, snow, and everything in between. There is always product sitting outside under test.”
But it doesn’t stop there. Our Quality Assurance department continues the testing every 4 hours while they move the product into production.

I love your better buckets and just purchased another 20 qt., however, you changed the handle and it no longer works on my trailer’s bucket hanger!! It’s longer and clumsier and just doesn’t work!
Please tell me I don’t have to find another bucket!!
Hi Debi! We are happy to let you know that we have kept the same design of bucket handles and nothing has been modified or changed with them. Thank you for choosing Little Giant!
