ESCO's newest offering is a V-bottom bucket (VXDP) for tough pipeline and trenching projects that demand reliability and performance.
The ESCO V-bottom bucket is modeled after the company's extreme heavy-duty (XDP) plate lip bucket, which is a field-proven performer in demanding applications. It is available for 25 to 30 metric ton hydraulic excavators.
Developed for trenching shale, frozen ground, limestone and caliche, the V-bottom bucket comes standard with Ultralok twin-pick teeth for exceptional penetration to complete jobs on schedule. The Ultralok tooth system features a hammerless integral lock which allows fast, simplified tooth replacement with an off-the-shelf pry tool.
The bucket features a new weld-on adapter style developed specifically for V-bottom buckets.
The bucket also features AR400 full bottom wear runner and full side wear plates, and a T-1 steel plate lip and side reinforcing plates. The result is specialized bucket that performs with minimal maintenance.
