Bear Iron Works identifies the 5 CY as its \u003cstrong data-start=\"435\" data-end=\"469\"\u003emost popular Bedding Box model\u003c\/strong\u003e and the standard choice for contractors who need more capacity than the 1 CY, 2 CY, or 3 CY models. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"570\" data-content-reference-end=\"601\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"867\"\u003eWith approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"666\"\u003e5.2 cubic yards of actual capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 50-inch internal width, and a large open top, the 5 CY model gives excavator and backhoe operators easy access to bedding sand, gravel, soil, and other materials while working along an open trench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1237\"\u003eDuring trenching operations, material can be delivered into the box from a staging area while the excavator removes only the amount required for pipe bedding or grading.

area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003eBear Iron Works builds its Bedding Boxes around field-tested construction principles, including reinforced and
