Zusammenfassung:A bucket (10) for use with a cable shovel includes a shell (11,82) and a door (16,75) collectively defining a cavity (24,24') for gathering material (25) to be excavated. The door is pivotally secured about a pivot axis (46) on the shell so that the door can pivot between a closed position for gathering the material and an open position for dumping the material. The pivot axis is positioned forward of an exterior surface of a back wall (12) of the shell to create a shallower and less forceful door swing during dumping. The door has a front portion (78) that is bent towards a digging edge on the shell so that the door has greater strength, improves bucket loading, and moves a portion of the shell away from the highest wear area.
