Excavator bucket pads, cutting edges, wear bars and strips in Hardox® wear plate

Dramatically increase service life

Get excellent workshop properties. There are good reasons to upgrade your excavator buckets to Hardox® 400, Hardox® 450, Hardox® 500 or Hardox® 550. The most typical components on the excavator bucket are the outer shell/sweep, pads, cutting edges and wear bars and strips.

For wear bars and strips, performance can also be enhanced using Duroxite™ (Chrome Carbide Overlay ).

Excavator bucket manufacturer ChangWoon goes for 100% Hardox® 500 Tuf to save weight and extend service life

Think it’s impossible to reduce a bucket’s steel gauge thickness yet boost service life? Think again. ChangWoon switched from S45C (S355, G50) steel to Hardox® 500 Tuf, in some cases extending wear life up to 400%.
