The wear challenge
Wheel loader buckets for quarry and site work carry abrasive loads cycle after cycle. Thinner Hardox plate reduces bucket weight while maintaining or improving wear resistance against rock and overburden.
Loader buckets combine high fill rates with sliding abrasion on the floor, corners, and spill guard. SSAB bucket guidance applies to wheel loaders: build the body in Hardox 500 Tuf, use fewer bolt-on liners, and gain payload through weight savings.
Recommended Hardox grades
Grade selection depends on abrasive material, impact, and operating conditions. Claims below are from SSAB published material.
- Hardox 500 Tuf
- Bucket floor, shell, and structural sections
- Hardox 450
- Rear wall and moderate-wear panels
- Hardox 500
- Corner guards and high-abrasion patches
