Hardox® Wear Plate Buckets for DURABILITY

Top-quality materials builds the strongest buckets on the market to ensure a durable and trouble-free lifespan.

Hardox® Steel’s value-Made to Last

Hardox Wear Plate Severe Duty Buckets

  • Hardox® is hard, wear-resistant, and through-hardened, which means that it is hard all the way through, not just on the surface.A great choice for Excavator Buckets where durability and long life are important.
  • Hardox® wear-resistant steel is both hard and tough with structural properties. The bucket’s performance can be optimized for strength, lightness and high capacity.
  • The high wear resistance of Hardox® steel often allows the use of thinner material – 3/4-in. Hardox 450, for instance, instead of 1-in. mild steel – saving 25 percent weight without jeopardizing performance and service life.
  • Thinner material will reduce the bucket’s weight, which, in turn, reduces the wear and tear on the hydraulic system and on the excavator boom. It also reduces fuel consumption.
  • A lighter bucket allows for a higher-capacity bucket has the potential to cut down the number of passes when loading a truck, resulting in a substantial increase in productivity.
  • Up to several times more wear life when compared to popular bucket manufacturers with lower-grade steel.
  • Additional Greater wear coverage in the cutting edge, side cutter and bottom corner to reduces wear and a new lift eye design.

Categories Suitable for Any Situation

General Duty

For digging in low impact, lower abrasion materials such as dirt, loam, and mixed compositions of dirt and fine gravel. Applicable for excavators from 8 to 45 tons.
1.Hardox®wear plate cutting edge. Lighter structures decrease load time and increase the weight that can be lifted.
2.Standard size replaceable adapters and teeth.
3.Side cutters and sidebar protectors are pre-drilled for optional choice.

Heavy Duty

For a wide range of impact and abrasion conditions including mixed dirt, clay and gravel rock. Applicable for excavators from 18 to 90 tons.
1.Adding Hardox®wear plate bottom and side wear plates than General Duty Buckets for more durability.
2.Buckets Adapters and teeth are up sized for enhanced performance and durability. 3.Sidebars protectors & side cutters are are installed as standard.

Severe Duty

For higher wear conditions, such as excavation of hard rocks, sub-hard rocks, and weathered rocks mixed in the soil; heavy-duty operations such as loading of hard rocks and ore after blasting. Applicable for excavators from 18 to 200 tons.
1.Bottom Hardox®wear plates are about 50% thicker than Heavy Duty Buckets.
2.Side Hardox® wear plates are about 40% larger than Heavy Duty Buckets & additional Corner Shrouds for added protection against abrasive and gouging wear.
3.Adapters and teeth are sized to accommodate higher loads and abrasion conditions.

Extreme Duty Buckets

Extreme Duty

For very high abrasion conditions including high quartzite granite. 1.Extreme Duty Buckets are armored with extra protection from abrasion and gouging wear. They include: Corner Shrouds, Sidebar Protectors with Shear Blocks, Additional Wear Material on the side, and Base Edge End Protectors.
2.Even more protection is available for buckets on larger excavators include: Liners, Base Edge Segments. Side wear plates are larger; and Adapters and teeth are sized to accommodate higher loads and abrasion conditions.

Excavator Buckets Penetration & Protection

Choosing the right GET is important to getting the highest return on your investment.Ground Engaging Tools protect the expensive parts of your buckets and the resulting longer life reduces your maintenance costs. GET also play a big part in determining how well your bucket performs in a specific application.

Penetration Plus

Recommended for most excavator applications including high impact trenching, excavation and loading. Good penetration. Stays sharp

Penetration

Recommended for harder-to-penetrate, moderate impact, lower abrasive materials. Very good penetration, less wear material, stays sharp.

Spike

Recommended for maximum penetration, especially in cohesive materials. Excellent penetration, less wear material, stays sharp. (Use Double Spike in corners.)

Double Spike

Recommended for harder-to-penetrate, fracturable materials. Very good penetration, stays sharp. Use in corner positions with Spike centers.

Sidebar Protector

Protects sidebars from wear and damage. Pins on for easy removal and installation. Can be stacked, one above the other on the side of the bucket for more protection.

Heavy Duty Sidecutter

For tough digging conditions. More wear material. Covers more of sidebar for enhanced protection of the bucket. Scalloped profile improves bucket penetration and machine performance.

General Purpose Sidecutter

Effective in moderate-impact conditions. Suitable for most soil conditions. Provides a strong, wear-resistant surface to help protect bucket sides. Extends bucket side width to match the teeth bite.

Strikeoff Sidecutter

Half-arrow shaped to provide better penetration than bare bucket, while protecting the lower bucket sides and corners. Use in moderate-to-light conditions. Can be stacked for more protection.

Excavator Bucket Styles for Specific Situations

Several different Bucket styles are available — each with a special purpose.

Ditch Cleaning

These buckets are designed for cleaning ditches, sloping, grading and other finish work. Their shallow depth and compact size make working in confined areas easier. Drainage holes allow liquid to empty so material dumps more easily.

Tilt Bucket

Excavator tilting bucket really increase productivity because they provide up to 45 degrees slope left or right. When sloping, trenching, grading, or ditch cleaning, control is fast and positive, so you get the right slope on the first cut.

Thumb Bucket

The wide opening width is light in weight, which maximizes the operating efficiency and is light in weight.

Clamshell Bucket

Clamshell bucket is best for dredging and material re-handling. Regardless of the versions, these equipment pieces feature a 360-degree sealed rotation. Recommended Application: commonly used in dredging, excavation, or material handling.

Skeleton Bucket

Excavator skeleton bucket is great for sifting out rocks in soil, effectively mining and sorting rock and removing other debris without the soil. It is available in many different sizes, widths, and even custom rib spacing configurations, too.
