In collaboration with our recent feature ‘Signs that your bucket tip needs replacing’ CPN has teamed up with Finning to offer 25 lucky readers the opportunity to get their hands on a fantastic CAT-branded work cap!
Do you know your tip types?
The tip sits onto your adapter, which should last twice the length of time as the tip on average, if the tip is replaced more regularly.
The shape and thickness of the tip you chose is also important. It should it be compatible with the machine it is being fitted to but also to the task it is carrying out and the nature of the material being worked.
As a rule, tips are generally designed to be either low impact, to deal with something like limestone granules for example, low abrasion as in topsoil, high impact where a machine will be working at the quarry face moving big boulders, or high abrasion where a machine may be working consistently in sand.
Tips also come in several product types. For Cat machines the tips range from ‘General Duty’ (a lower price solution without compromising on quality) to the J Series, K Series, and premium Advansys which are typically used in high productivity applications on larger machines because they have more wear material and an engineered profile. Within Advansys there are different tip types ranging from penetration plus to heavy duty and high abrasion.
