Buckets and Ground Engaging Tools

Cat buckets are designed for superior performance in a variety of materials. They are engineered to dig into piles quickly and load efficiently. Optimized fill factors enable you to get the job done and move on to other tasks. Fast load cycles and fewer trips mean less wear and tear on your machine and keep you working. The buckets below are part of the 992K bucket line. They come in different capacities and widths to fit your loading and carrying needs. Designed for use in bank or face loading of limestone and other unprocessed rock. Application also includes truck and hopper loading for a wide range of quarry materials. GET includes spade nose cutting edge with adapters, half arrow segments, floor liner, bottom wear plates, wings, and side bar protectors. Designed for use in applications like face loading tightly compacted pit materials or handling materials of moderate abrasion and high impacts. GET are similar to the rock bucket with the addition of half radius liners and bolt-on bottom edge wear plates. Base edge end protection, ski plates, additional side wear plates, and an extra set of side bar protectors are also included. Designed for use in extremely aggressive applications like face loading. Built for high abrasion and moderate impact. GET are similar to heavy duty rock buckets with the addition of flush mount adapter covers, edge segment top covers and side heel shrouds. Iron ore buckets are smaller in bucket capacity to accommodate for higher material density applications. Designed for use in applications with light density and non-abrasive materials. GET includes a straight base edge with a bolt-on cutting edge system. Protect expensive components. Reduce your operating costs. Get the most out of your machine's performance. Choose from a variety of performance-built Advansys GET like these to meet your application requirements.

System Match Efficiency

The standard 992K is sized to load the 68 tonnes (70 ton) 775 in three passes, and the 91 tonnes (100 ton) 777 in four passes. The 992K high light configuration loads the 777 in five passes, and the 145 tonnes (160 ton) 785 in seven passes. For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system starts with a perfect match. Cat wheel loaders are matched with Cat mining trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton. Selection of the right bucket depends on penetration requirements, material densities, abrasion, and the loading target. Bucket sizes are matched to truck bed capacities and material densities for optimum loading efficiency and greater productivity.
