How to choose the right bucket teeth for you

1. Identify the Operation Scenario: Working Conditions Determine Bucket Tooth Type

Different construction environments require significantly different bucket teeth in terms of wear resistance, strength, and structure, which is the core consideration for selection.

Earthmoving: For soft soils such as clay and loam, standard bucket teeth with medium wear resistance are recommended. These teeth have sharp cutting edges, reduce penetration resistance, increase excavation speed, and are reasonably priced, making them suitable for long-term, continuous operation.

Rockmoving: For hard rock such as granite and limestone, wear-resistant bucket teeth made of high-chromium cast iron or bimetallic composite materials are essential. Their reinforced cutting edges provide strong impact resistance and reduce the risk of breakage. For example, our "Rock King" series bucket teeth offer a service life exceeding 30% longer than standard bucket teeth in mining operations.

Mixed Working Conditions: For construction sites with a variety of materials, such as soil, rock, and sand and gravel, universal bucket teeth are recommended. These teeth offer a balance of sharpness and wear resistance, and their optimized cutting angle design allows them to adapt to alternating operations in complex environments.

2. Matching Equipment Model: Dimensions and Power Must Be Precisely Matched

Bucket teeth are not universal components and must be precisely matched to the excavator and loader models.

Dimensional Compatibility: The length, width, and mounting hole location of the bucket teeth must perfectly match the bucket. Too short teeth will cause increased wear on the bucket body, while too long teeth may increase operating resistance and even cause mechanical failure. Please refer to the bucket tooth specifications in the equipment manual, or provide your bucket model to our technical team for a customized matching solution.

Power Matching: Using heavy-duty bucket teeth for small equipment (such as excavators under 20 tons)
