WHEEL TIPS BUILT TO PERFORM
See more
Designed specifically to complement Cat machines.
Improves machine performance through longer wear life and maintaining traction.
Five wheel and tip configurations are available to meet your particular application:
1) Paddle Tip – High performance and less fuel burn with more traction and less weight.
2) Plus Tip – Traditional design for increased side slope stability.
3) Combination Tip – Both paddle and plus tips provide the best compromise of performance and fuel economy with side slope stability.
4) Diamond Tip – Longest life tip on the market with reputation of reliability that is world class in the waste tip industry.
5) Chopper Tip – These types of tips are recommended for wet/soft waste where chopping and/or traction is a large concern and abrasive wear life is not a major concern.
