Bucket tooth for Caterpillar PC2000-8

The bucket tooth with part number 21T7034580 functions as a critical ground engaging tool located at the front edge of excavator buckets. Its primary role is to penetrate materials such as soil, rock, and mineral deposits while shielding the bucket cutting edge from direct impact and abrasive wear. By absorbing the initial contact forces during excavation, this component helps maintain the structural integrity of the bucket assembly and ensures efficient material handling in mining and earthmoving applications.

This part is compatible with the Caterpillar PC2000-8 and Komatsu PC2000-8 hydraulic excavators. It is engineered to fit the bucket adapter system, allowing for secure attachment and simplified maintenance procedures. Proper installation ensures that the bucket maintains its intended geometry for effective digging performance.

Bucket teeth are designed to withstand the high-stress environments typical of large-scale excavation. In any heavy machinery application, these components act as the first line of defense for the bucket. Regularly monitoring and replacing worn teeth prevents excessive stress on the excavator arm and reduces the risk of damage to the bucket adapter, thereby supporting consistent operational productivity and protecting the machine from premature structural wear.
