Side Cutter

Side Cutter, also known as ‘parts’ or ‘blades’ are bolt-on OR weld-on replaceable wear surfaces designed to increase the bucket clearance through the trench. These side cutters will increase the bucket cutting width by around 35mm. Adding protection to the bucket sides will extend the life of the bucket and lower bucket maintenance costs. Most excavator and loader buckets have a side cutter, located on the side of the bucket. The side cutters are thicker than the side of the bucket. Hydraulic and Mini Excavator buckets may have additional side cutters called “bolt on side cutters”.

Most excavator buckets have a cutter at the side of the bucket. Bucket side cutters are thicker than the side itself, and will improve lifespan while meeting the demanding requirements of earthmoving and mining applications. Excavator bucket side cutters are typically bolt-on. They not only protect the bucket’s sides, but they help to increase its capacity.

NBSJ Wear Parts offers both bolt-on and weld-on bucket side cutters in wear plate and overlay.
