Milton CAT 994F - Manual (Page 9)

High Productivity. Aggressive Cat
bucket designs deliver unmatched
productivity in the most demanding
applications. 994F buckets have been
redesigned for optimal loadability and
structural reliability.
Rugged Design. Cat buckets are
manufactured using shell-tine
construction to resist twisting and
distortion. A more aggressive spade
edge increases bucket penetration and
fill factors and provides better retention
of loose material. An integral rock
guard helps retain big loads for greater
fill factors and optimum truck loading.
Spade Edge Rock Buckets. Spade edge
rock buckets with bolt-on segments are
designed to penetrate through the pile
while leaving a smooth work floor.
Shouldered, double-strap adapters allow
easy change-out and bolt-on segments
extend base edge life.
Serrated Edge Coal Bucket.
Serrated edge bucket is recommended
for low abrasion material loading
where greater penetration is required.
It does not use GET, thus eliminating
the risk of iron falling into crushers.
Replaceable serrated or straight edge
is available if needed. Serrated edge
is standard for the 36 m
3 (47 yd 3 ) coal
bucket, but can be added to the smaller
buckets upon request.
Bucket Protection. Cat Ground Engaging
Tools (G.E.T.) provide superior bucket
protection for long life in the most
punishing conditions. Built to absorb
shock, impact, and abrasion, G.E.T.
work and wear as a system to boost
productivity and lower costs.
Tips. Tips extend bucket life in high
wear applications.
Sidebar Protectors. Protects bucket
corner and sides from wear in abrasive
materials. Pin-on sidebars are reversible
to extend wear life.
Edge Protectors. Protects bucket edge
from wear in materials with high wear
rates. Independently pinned for easy
replacement without removing tips
or adapters.
Wear Plates. Replaceable wear plates
protect the bucket bottom. Bolt-on and
weld-on wear plates protect the rear
base edge from damage.
