A loader bucket or scoop is adapted to separate fines after scooping material into the bucket by providing a movable grid to be positioned over the open side. The grid is substantially the same shape as the bucket or scoop and is positionable therein in an out-of-the-way position for loading of the scoop. A power means comprising a hydraulic motor and worm gear and pinion combinations serve to relatively move the grid between the operative position and the inoperative position. The grid is contiguous with the inside surface of the scoop and when the scoop and grid are cylindrical the grid moves in an arc and 360 DEG movement may be accommodated. A scraping edge is provided on the grid for removing stuck material on the inside surface of the scoop and the grid may be formed of steel reinforcing rods; the cross rods also serving as scrapers and agitating the innermost portion of the load prior to dumping.
