Kenco rakes are available to fit various makes and models of carriers, with either pin or quick-hitch configurations. Also available for use on crawler loaders, Kenco loader buckets are constructed with high-alloy, abrasive-resistant steel.

General

Click Image to EnlargeA patented twin-screw clamping mechanism allows General Equipment's 190C Cut-R-Tach rotary asphalt cutting tool to be fit directly to the crawler loader bucket without special tools, modifications or adapters, and to remain tight during both forward and reverse cutting applications. A 19-inch-diameter cutting blade is machined from a service-duty alloy steel and yields a maximum cutting depth of 5.5 inches. The unit is designed to handle up to 50,000 pounds of downward force.

Caterpillar

Click Image to EnlargeWith the Caterpillar K Series bucket-tooth system available for crawler loaders, a lower tooth profile provides better penetration and maintains sharpness longer. Twist-on not only makes installation quicker, but also reduces tip movement and allows the tip to grab the adapter tighter the harder it digs into tough materials. Tips are secured with a one-piece retainer that installs vertically in the tooth, rather than being hammered through holes in the sides. Tooth life is increased by up to 15 percent, says Caterpillar.
