Bucket Teeth Adapter

Two-strap bolt-on adapters have a leg on either side of the cutting-edge opening. The adapter attaches to the bucket edge with two or more bolts.
Two-strap bolt-on adapters provide good edge protection, are easily removed and installed, and work well in general loading applications.

Two-strap weld-on adapters are arc welded to the bucket. This requires more time for installation and removal. However, they provide outstanding adapter retention in high-impact applications.
Two-strap weld-on adapters work best in digging applications where adapter retention is essential. These adapters have a medium offset and are frequently used on backhoe and excavator buckets.

Bottom-strap weld-on adapters attach to the bottom of the bucket edge. The advantage of a bottom-strap adapter is that the adapter strap is out of the way and allows the material to flow in and out of the bucket easily. On the other hand, the bottom strap is not as strong or durable as a two-strap adapter.
Bottom-strap weld-on adapters have a large offset and are used in aggressive digging applications on backhoe and excavator buckets. This provides the bucket tooth with the greatest angle to the material.

Flush-mount weld-on adapters attach to the top of the bucket edge, leaving a smooth surface on the bucket bottom. Flush mount adapters leave a clean work floor when scraping or digging.
These adapters, which are primarily used on large loaders, have no off-set. A bucket tooth on a flush mount adapter is parallel to the bottom edge of the bucket.
