Key Features & Technical Specs
We manufacture our loader bucket wear plates using precision CNC plasma cutting and high-grade tempered steel to ensure a perfect fit for CAT, Komatsu, Case, and John Deere buckets.
- Material Grades: Available in AR400, AR450, and AR500 (Brinell Hardness).
- Thickness Options: Range from 1/2″ to 2″ depending on impact requirements.
- Customization: Available in weld-on or bolt-on configurations with countersunk holes.
- Impact Resistance: Designed to handle high-velocity impact without cracking or brittle failure.
| Specification | Standard Series | Extreme Duty Series |
| Hardness (HBW) | 400 – 450 | 500+ |
| Application | Sand, Gravel, Topsoil | Granite, Quartz, Mining |
| Attachment | Weld-on / Plug Weld | Bolt-on / Weld-on |
| Edge Profile | Straight / Beveled | Beveled / Serrated |
Why Choose Our Wear Plates?
- Drastically Reduce Downtime: Our AR500 liners last up to 4x longer than standard mild steel, meaning fewer mid-season repairs.
- Optimized Fuel Efficiency: A smooth, low-friction wear surface reduces drag during material penetration, lowering fuel consumption per cycle.
- Precision Fitment: Every plate is cut to your specific bucket radius, eliminating the need for onsite grinding or “making it fit.”
Pro Tip: Don’t wait for the base metal to show through. Installing wear plates on a new bucket can extend the primary shell life by over 300%.
Applications & Compatibility
Our wear solutions are engineered for the toughest environments:
- Aggregate & Quarrying: High-abrasion resistance for crushed stone.
- Demolition: High-impact protection against rebar and concrete.
- Waste Management: Corrosion-resistant options for harsh chemical environments.
- Construction: General-purpose protection for daily earthmoving.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which AR grade I need?
AR400 is ideal for high-impact scenarios where toughness is key. AR500 is best for sliding abrasion where material is constantly rubbing against the steel.
Do you offer custom dimensions?
Yes. Simply upload your CAD drawing or provide us with the bucket model and dimensions, and we will provide a custom-cut solution within 48 hours.
