BUCKET TEETH SELECTION

Depending on the working conditions, there is a danger that an adapter and tooth may be lost. Select either one
from the vertical pin type of tooth or horizontal pin type of tooth that is suitable for the purpose.
While the standard teeth of both vertical and horizontal pin types may be used widely, the following kinds of
teeth are recommended depending on the working conditions.
METHOD FOR SELECTING TEETH
VERTICAL PIN TYPE TOOTH
General digging: Digging and loading normal soil, such as sand, gravel, clay, etc.
Light-duty digging: Digging and loading dry and loose sandy soil, or muddy soil.
Loading: Loading of dry and loose earth.
HORIZONTAL PIN TYPE TOOTH
Heavy-duty digging: Digging and hammering work on hard soil, soil with rocks, scraping or other heavy-duty
work
• The heavy-duty bucket is of a horizontal pin type and as such, use it for heavy duty-digging.
LONG-LIFE TOOTH
• Jobsites where long wear life is required, such as when loading hard rocks.
• Jobsites where no penetration is needed, such as when working with crushed rocks after blasting or rip-
ping.
• Jobsites where heavy-duty operations are performed, such as hitting or pulling up rocks with the tips of the
teeth.
SELF-SHARPENING TOOTH (HORIZONTAL PIN TYPE, VERTICAL PIN TYPE)
• Jobsites requiring penetration such as digging and loading sandy or clayey soil.
