High quality T-1 steel is utilized in all critical or high wear components to ensure that this bucket has a long operation life. Heavy duty cast material is used in the buckets cutter bit. The cutting edge is backed by a heavy reinforcing plate with straps protecting the rest of the bottom. Side wear plates reinforce the sides for backfilling. Each bucket is engineered with tapered side plates to reduce wear on the buckets sides, and to allow for easier dumping.
