Esco All-Cast dozer edges
Given that operating bulldozers during mining and on the construction site is one of the most demanding operations, the ESCO® company developed all-cast dozer edges and end bits for bulldozers. They are available for the most models of the popular brands CAT® and Komatsu® above 280 Ps (from size CAT® D8 and Komatsu® D155 and bigger). All-cast dozer edges are designed to fit every model and fulfill requirements for providing ideal performance.
What is the difference between All-Cast cutting edges and end bits?
Contrary to the standard edges made from rolled steel where holes for screws and bevels are machined, the shape of ESCO® castings including edges and holes is originated in pouring metal to the mould. This process allows usage of durable hardened alloy and addition of steel where it needs to be added.
