Volvo’s Aggressive Cut Buckets have real teeth
7659 Volvo Construction Equipment has developed a range of Aggressive Cut Buckets specifically for compact excavators in the Nordic markets - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland – as well Switzerland.

Volvo said the buckets are designed for use especially with a Steelwrist Symmetrical Quick Coupler and Steelwrist Tilt Rotator.

The company is introducing a complete range for machines in the 2.5-8tonne class, including digging buckets with the Volvo Tooth System, cable buckets with an extended cutting edge for trenching applications and dedicated grading buckets with angle corners for use with a tilt rotator.

The progressive radius makes it easier to dig and provides low resistance, thereby increasing productivity. The flat top helps maintain breakout force and the long floor improves fuel efficiency by ensuring the bucket is easy to fill.

With a perfect fit between the tooth and adapter, strength and wear-resistance are built-in for long replacement intervals, maximising machine uptime and minimising expenditure on parts and servicing. When teeth require replacing, Volvo’s Tooth System, featuring a patented vertical locking device, ensures quick and easy mounting and removal.

Volvo CE provides a range of economical replaceable wear parts, including side and corner shrouds, adapters and segments. Customers can tailor the wear protection on the bucket for specific demands of any job.

Volvo also offers a factory-fitted tilt rotator for both its wheeled and crawler compact excavators. To guarantee safe coupling and uncoupling, Front Pin Lock technology prevents the bucket from falling even if it is not fully fastened, while a positive lock indication system displays green when the bucket is in the correct position. When a tilt rotator is attached, a factory fit control system prevents the quick coupler from being opened, providing peace of mind for both the operator and others on the jobsite.

Just like the bucket, the quick coupler is also made of high tensile strength steel for optimum strength and durability. To withstand the increased forces when using a tilt rotator, the quick coupler is casted in one piece, eliminating weaknesses at joints or welds.
