Widely considered the most versatile machine on any job site, optimising the performance and productivity of your hydraulic excavators is essential in hitting deadlines. Fitting the right G.E.T. and bucket system and balancing your desired productivity or penetration with the wear-life of your system is therefore critical.
Excessive wear material on the G.E.T. can reduce productivity and increase fuel burn in low impact or low abrasion applications. However, insufficient wear material in high impact or high abrasion applications can have the same effect, as well as increasing stress and wear on major components. It’s why choosing the right tip for your Cat® machine is so important.
Fitting the wrong G.E.T. can easily reduce productivity and efficiency. Furthermore, it can cause unnecessary wear and fatigue to both your machine and work tools. Unsure which tool you need? Simply find the material you’re dealing with below and view our recommended solution.
