It is essentially a scaled-up version of Bear Iron Works’ 5 CY Bedding Box, retaining the same rugged structural approach while providing substantially more capacity for larger projects. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"599\" data-content-reference-end=\"629\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eWith approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"695\"\u003e7.4 cubic yards of actual capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a 60-inch internal width, the 7 CY model is designed for larger excavators in approximately the CAT 317 to CAT 325 class. It allows contractors to keep larger volumes of bedding sand, gravel, rock, or soil close to the active work area instead of repeatedly moving material from a distant staging pile. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"996\" data-content-reference-end=\"1026\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003eDuring trenching operations, a loader or other suitable machine can fill the Bedding Box from the material staging area.
