LHD Bucket Lip Protection
System
MTG has developed a new bucket lip protection
system for underground loaders.
The company’s LHD Lip System—which
it said was field-tested with excellent results—
features an ultra-slim design that is
claimed to optimize bucket penetration and
reliability, increasing machine productivity
and operational time. Designed and manufactured
in Europe, the LHD Lip System is
fabricated with a new steel alloy, MET73W,
that provides optimal bucket protection yet
retains the weldability of steel. Other system
features include a self-sharpening
shroud design that increases wear life, plus
installation versatility in any bucket width.
The system is currently offered in a standard
version with a thickness of 38 mm
(1.5 in.), with additional versions that include
more wear material and a hammerless
fastening system under development.
