3 Different Excavator Bucket Types and Their Uses
2023-03-15

How to keep the bucket teeth in the best condition

  • Bucket replacements are not cheap, especially when there are steps you can take to keep them in top condition and maximize their life, which is especially irritating.
  • It is much more cost effective to replace smaller parts that wear out frequently than to pay for the damage to new bucket teeth. Follow these tips to minimize bucket wear.

It is important to ensure that your cutting edges are of high quality

The most worn area is the cutting edge of the bucket teeth, located at the bottom front edge of the bucket. This means that the cutting edge needs to be replaced when it starts to wear. Also known as “bucket wear inserts”, the cutting edges can be made from a range of different grades of steel. The recommended hardness of the inserts is actually 400 to 500 HB, which will maximize the time before they need to be replaced again and fully protect the bucket. Most blades are held in place with bolt-on wear inserts, which is something to keep in mind when securing them.

Inspect blades and cutting edges for wear regularly

To check the wear blade, you must ensure that it has not worn back into the bucket teeth. You must allow enough time for replacement parts to arrive, as inserts usually take two to three weeks to manufacture. You will find that the same problem applies to other types of machines as well.

Bucket teeth also need to be replaced

  • Bucket teeth also wear out because they are in constant contact with the ground. Again, when it comes to replacement parts, they must be of high quality or you will waste money and need to replace parts more often. Installing good quality bucket teeth on the bucket maximizes penetration, which greatly helps protect the bucket and the machine, so it means the excavator has to work less to achieve the same results.
  • Check your bucket teeth Check them regularly to see how they are wearing. Also, it would be a good idea if you have a set of replacement bucket teeth available so that they are ready to go as soon as you need them.
