Rationalized Bucket Line. Optimized design matches machine configuration perfectly. Improved balance between performance and durability. Buckets feature the new Caterpillar K Series Tooth System.

1

Excavation (X). Digs and loads soft to

 

medium materials such as clay and earth.

 

Features weld on tip adapters, wear resistant

 

steel alloy cutting edge and wear plates,

 

and high grade steel side bars.

2

Extreme Excavation (EX). Digs and loads

 

compact/abrasive materials like earth/rock,

 

sand/clay, sand/gravel, coal, chalk and

 

low abrasion ores. Features bigger ground

 

engaging tools, plus all wear resistant steel

 

alloy cutting edge, wear plates and side bars.

3

Rock (R). Digs and loads mixed earth/rock

 

soils containing high percentage of rock or

Other buckets and teeth are available from Caterpillar for use in quarry, high abrasion, and special applications. Ask your dealer representative to recommend the optimum solution for your material and operation.

5Ripper. The Caterpillar TR-series rippers are available for use with CW-series quick couplers, or to attach directly to the stick and linkage. The ripper provides a powerful single point of penetration force to break out rock and other difficult to excavate material. In order to break into the toughest ripping applications a short ripper is available. Usage with the quick coupler and

a compatible rock bucket facilitates

the “Rip & Load” technique to supplement or replace blasting to prepare rock material prior to truck loading.

bucket digging and loading in highly

abrasive applications such as granite

and basalt. Features V-spade cutting edge

and extreme wear package.

Differences from rock buckets: Highest durability due to extreme wear package;

Side wear plates are thicker and extend further up to the bucket;

Inside wear package (liner) made of high strength, 500 Brinell, wear resistant steel alloy;

Standard equipped with sidebar protectors and edge segments to extend bucket lifetime.

Quick Couplers. Caterpillar quick couplers enable the operator to simply release one work tool and pick up another. Your hydraulic excavator becomes highly versatile. The dedicated CW-Series quick coupler enables a quick tool exchange while maintaining top machine performance.

A lifting hook is added for maximum lift capacity.

Variety of work tools. Choose from a variety of work tools

such as hammers, crushers, pulverizers, shears, multi-processors and grapples. Ask your Cat dealer for information on attachments or special configurations.
