Designed specifically to reduce time and costs associated with transportation, assembly and rework procedures for underground mining, the Cat® bolt-together bucket is the solution to lower repair costs, reduced machine down time and higher machine productivity.

The Cat bolt-together bucket requires no skilled maintenance operators for underground welding, resulting in lowered safety risks and quicker repair times.

Bucket materials, design and fabrication are specially made for the demanding underground environment and abrasive materials to be moved

Buckets are modular design and can be assembled quicker.

Features may include:

• Multiple components allow for ease of the bucket transportation and assembly.

• Less frequency of bucket replacement, due to the higher wearing consumables e.g., edges, shrouds easier to replace as they simply bolt on.

• Higher grade material (400BHN) is used for the bucket assembly components.

• Higher grade wear protection Ground Engaging Tools (GET) on the removable shroud assembly.

• Bucket design also takes bucket weight into consideration, targeting a stronger bucket and balanced weight for overall machine performance improvements.

• Cat GET also offer great competitive advantages.

• Caterpillar offers the bucket and a full suite of GET options. Caterpillar and our Cat dealers offer one stop shop which means less accounts.

• All these GET and attachments are modular design – easy and quick to install and remove.
