Excavator bucket teeth types.

There are many side pin bucket tooth fitment styles. The rhinox range of buckets to suit 9 ton to 25 ton excavators are already very heavy duty buckets coming as standard with cat style bucket teeth hardened to 550hb hardness brinell and additional weld in hardened sidecutters and wear straps. We ll go over what each type of excavator type is and what work each one is best used for. Here s how to tell which is which.

By far the most popular is the cat j series. These are best suited for digging and trenching applications when using an excavator backhoe or other machine with high breakout force particularly in a rocky environment or rock quarry. The difference is they come with ripper teeth attached to the back of the bucket. The ripper teeth loosen compacted earth during digging.

Bucket teeth with high impact resistance will withstand penetrating shocks and high breakout forces. J series has a pin and separate retainer. Like the rock bucket hard pan excavator buckets are built for maximum strength and durability. We also stock komatsu bucket teeth.

The most common excavator types are crawlers dragline excavators suction excavators skid steer and long reach excavators.
