Security
Ground engaging tools (GET) have two jobs: protect your machine and optimize performance. Cat® GET gives you all that, and more. A perfect fit for your entire operation (including mixed fleet) — thanks to the most reliable equipment in the field. Cat GET systems are designed to meet your cost per ton and cost per hour requirements in any mining application.
Cat GET offers industry-leading design, materials and serviceability for Cat and mixed fleet equipment. And with 50% faster rebuild times, Cat GET is built for the long haul.
Increased Machine Availability
Complete two dipper lifecycles with the Cat Energy Distribution Technology (EDT) system before encountering rebuild-related downtime.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Annual cost per ton has been improved thanks to the extended time between repairs.
WH12 EDT System for 7495 Class Machines
Energy Distribution Technology (EDT) maximizes adapter life and reduces lip wear by redirecting dig energy. EDT delivers operating reliability in extreme environments while minimizing installation and rebuild cost. The EDT system design delivers the reliability you need with 80% less welding time than other stabilized systems. EDT components are efficient to install and maintain, which means cost savings and improved life lifecycle for you.
Perfect Fit.
Cat ERS lip systems are delivered ready to work, saving hours of GET fitment and installation time. Fully machined lip surfaces ensure that Cat GET fits perfectly and secures tightly. This reduces the rate of lip wear, extending lip lifecycle. Machined retention holes reduce stress cracking that originates in this area.
Application Adaptability.
The WH12 GET portfolio is adaptable to your ever-changing site conditions. Energy Distribution Technology is associated with the Cat PowerWedge, Static Beams, and Shim components that work together to extend adapter life and minimize lip wear by redirecting dig energy.
Superior Compatibility.
Cat PowerWedge retains the adapter with 50% more pull-back force, compared to other systems, which predominately clamp down on the adapter. This results in a more compatible fit for your components and less wear overtime .
Increased Wear.
Mechanical lip shroud retention provides positive pull-back to the lip while eliminating Dipper welding and compact radius lip shrouds provide 44% more effective tip length vs standard protection. You can also get more time between replacement intervals with EWL Wing Shrouds that place 3X more wear material in the high-wear area.
Less Bending Stress.
The whisler style adapter is secured to the lip with either hammerless or traditional C-clamp and wedge retention. The hammerless wedge retention assembly is often reusable, helping to lower your operating costs. Gain 30% more adapter strength with static beams that reduce bending stresses in the adapter legs, delivering reliability you can count on.
Exceptional Performance.
From general purpose to custom made for your operation, choose from the various tip profiles designed for your specific application. Your Cat dealer can help you select the option that offers the right balance of penetration and wear life for your jobsite.
X4-A tips feature approximately 27 percent more wear material than the X4-GP tip.
X4-GP tips are symmetrical and the baseline for other tip styles.
X4-I tips are 16 percent stronger than the X4-GP to withstand high-impact applications.
X4-OSP tips have been designed with a streamline shape in mind for better penetration, a deeper recess to keep the tip sharp throughout its wear life, and is 1" longer than the pen abrasion tip to extend its productive wear life.
X4-PLA tips are designed for high-abrasion, low-impact applications where penetration is critical. They are 17 percent longer and have four percent more wear material in the tip body.
