29.4 SELECTION OF BUCKET TEETH

Select suitable bucket teeth to match the operating conditions.
METHOD OF SELECTING TEETH
The standard teeth can be used over a wide range, but according to the operating conditions, we recommend
the following teeth.
Long-life teeth
• Jobsites where wear life is demanded, such as when loading hard rocks.
• Jobsites where no penetration is needed, such as when working with crushed rock after blasting or ripping.
• Jobsites where heavy-duty operations are carried out, such as hitting or pulling up rocks with the tips of the
teeth.
Self-sharpening teeth
• Jobsites demanding penetration such as digging and loading sandy or clayey soil.
