Excavator bucket teeth types.

The ripper teeth loosen compacted earth during digging. Cat j series pins run horizontally through the tooth and adapter. The most common excavator types are crawlers dragline excavators suction excavators skid steer and long reach excavators. 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.

Like the rock bucket hard pan excavator buckets are built for maximum strength and durability. Here s how to tell which is which. Typically a rock bucket will have heavier duty bucket teeth and additional wear protection to the body of the bucket to stop it wearing out so fast. By far the most popular is the cat j series.

The difference is they come with ripper teeth attached to the back of the bucket. 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 also stock komatsu bucket teeth. A riddle bucket is a different type of digging bucket.
