Where should loader bucket teeth be purchased?

I. Bucket Tooth Types and Compatible Models

1. Classification

• By structure: Flat teeth, pointed teeth (extra-sharp/long), middle teeth, side teeth, corner teeth (left/right variants).

• By application: Standard teeth, rock teeth (high-manganese steel), ice-breaking teeth, wear-resistant alloy teeth.

• Matching components: Shanks, adapters, holders, and pins (must align with tooth specifications).

2. Main Brands and Model Compatibility

• Domestic brands: LiuGong (ZL50C/ZL40B/LG856), Lonking (855N/50 Series), Lingong (L953/955/956F), XGMA (XG951/956N), XCMG (ZL40.11.1-18B), Shantui (TP2W6134), etc.

• International brands: Komatsu (PC200/PC300), Caterpillar (320D), Hitachi (DH220), SANY (SY215/SY55), etc.

• Specialized models: Coal mine side-dump buckets (e.g., Lingong L953), custom teeth for skid-steer loaders.

II. Material and Manufacturing Standards

1. Material Properties

• High-manganese steel: Superior wear resistance for rocky conditions (e.g., YASSIAN bucket teeth).

• Forged alloy steel: High impact resistance for excavators like Komatsu PC200-6.

• Carburized alloy steel: Pressure/corrosion resistance for CAT and XCMG premium models.

• Cast iron/steel: Cost-effective for general use (e.g., YASSIAN casting molds).

2. National Standards

• GB/T 25628-2023: Defines classification, testing, and packaging requirements for earthmoving machinery (excavators, loaders, bulldozers).

• Key metrics: Hardness, wear resistance, tensile strength (must meet scenario-specific benchmarks).

III. Procurement and Supply Information

1. Suppliers and Pricing

• OEMs: Custom casting/forging services in Zhejiang, Shandong, etc.; support CAD-based production.

• Stock models:

• LiuGong 72A0005/ZL50C teeth (alloy steel, ~RMB 200–300/pc).

• Komatsu PC200-7 teeth (forged, ~RMB 180–250/pc).

• Lingong L953 rock teeth (high-manganese steel, ~RMB 300–400/pc).

• YASSIAN bucket teeth and bucket adapter, rock teeth, ripper teeth (alloy steel, ~RMB 200–300/pc).

• Price fluctuations: Subject to raw material costs (e.g., manganese steel, molybdenum); confirm real-time quotes.

1. Support Services

• Installation tools: Pin drivers, wrenches (e.g., excavator-specific pin hammers).

• Customization: Bucket sizing (standard/oversized/coal-specific), tooth shape (long/extra-sharp).

• Logistics: Some suppliers offer free shipping (e.g., Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region).

IV. Key Considerations

1. Selection Tips

• Prioritize high-manganese steel or forged teeth for rocky conditions; cast iron/steel suffices for general earthwork.

• Verify compatibility between teeth, adapters, and pins (e.g., LiuGong ZL50C requires 72A-series shanks).

2. Maintenance and Replacement

• Regularly inspect shank wear to prevent tooth detachment.

• Use OEM or GB/T 25628-2023-certified alternatives for safety.
