Features

1. Left-Hand Lateral Precision with Long-Life Reinforcement

· Exclusively calibrated for left-hand lateral mounting on 980 and 982 machines, ensuring perfect alignment with the machinery’s lateral load-bearing points. The “2 strap” design distributes weight evenly across two parallel bands, reducing stress concentration and preventing premature wear.

· The integrated “long life (ARM)” component adds targeted reinforcement to high-stress areas (e.g., strap-to-machine connection points), extending the adapter’s service life by up to 30% compared to standard LH 2 strap adapters (e.g., 223-8106). This makes it ideal for 24/7 industrial operations where frequent part replacement is costly.

2. Consistent Industrial-Grade Durability

· Boasts a fixed 45 mm edge thickness, matching the dimensional standard of most K100-series adapters to ensure seamless integration and uniform force transmission. This thickness provides exceptional resistance to bending and impact in lateral tasks (e.g., side-mounted rock breaking, lateral material pushing).

· Weighs 18.2 kg—a slight increase over the standard 223-8106 LH 2 STRAP (18 kg)—due to the “long life (ARM)” reinforcement. The added weight enhances stability without compromising maneuverability, making it easy for maintenance teams to install or replace.

3. Universal K100 Series Compatibility

· Strictly adheres to the K100 size series standards, enabling seamless integration with all K100-series tips (e.g., 475-5500 HEAVY ABRASION TIP, 475-5499 HEAVY PENETRATION TIP) and retainers (e.g., 220-9090 RETAINER). Operators can switch between tips based on task needs without modifying the adapter, saving time and reducing downtime.

· Works in tandem with other K100 adapters (e.g., 229-7101 RH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM), 223-8107 CENTER BOLT ON ADAPTER) to build symmetric or asymmetric machinery setups—from dual-sided lateral support systems to specialized long-life configurations.

4. Transparent, Actionable Specifications

· All critical parameters—including part number (229-7102), edge thickness (45 mm), and weight (18.2 kg)—are clearly documented, allowing inventory teams to quickly identify and restock long-life parts, and maintenance crews to verify compatibility at a glance. This transparency eliminates guesswork during repairs and ensures accurate sourcing of high-durability components.

Applications

1. 24/7 Mining Lateral Extraction

In continuous mining operations, the K100 229-7102 LH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM) supports 980/982 machines in lateral ore extraction—such as accessing ore deposits along mine wall sides or trimming rock formations to widen pathways. The “long life (ARM)” reinforcement resists wear from abrasive mining materials, while the left-hand design allows the machine to reach tight lateral spaces. When paired with the 475-5500 HEAVY ABRASION TIP (14.3 kg), it maintains performance for extended periods, reducing maintenance interruptions in 24/7 mining environments.

2. High-Volume Construction Lateral Breaking

Construction sites with high-volume tasks (e.g., road construction, large-scale demolition) rely on this adapter for lateral breaking—such as splitting concrete walls from the side, trimming road edges, or removing lateral structural components. The “long life (ARM)” design withstands the repeated impact of high-frequency breaking, while the 45 mm edge thickness ensures durability against reinforced concrete. When used with the 475-5499 HEAVY PENETRATION TIP (15 kg), it efficiently breaks through dense materials, keeping construction timelines on track.

3. Heavy Material Handling (Continuous Use)

For material handling equipment in ports or manufacturing facilities that operate non-stop (e.g., shipping container loaders, steel beam transporters), the adapter provides stable left-hand lateral support. Its “2 strap” design ensures balanced weight distribution when moving long or bulky items (e.g., metal pipes, wooden beams), while the “long life (ARM)” reinforcement prevents wear from continuous vibration. Paired with the 475-5492 HEAVY DUTY TIP (11.2 kg), it safely handles dense, heavy materials without frequent part replacement.

4. Infrastructure Maintenance (Extended Service Intervals)

In infrastructure maintenance (e.g., bridge repairs, highway renovations), the adapter enables 980/982 machines to perform precision lateral work—such as trimming road curbs, repairing bridge sidewalls, or removing damaged pavement edges. The “long life (ARM)” feature extends service intervals, reducing the need for repeated maintenance in hard-to-access areas (e.g., bridge undersides, highway medians). When paired with the 475-5497 GENERAL PURPOSE TIP (9.4 kg), it delivers consistent performance for routine maintenance tasks.

FAQ

1. How does the 229-7102 LH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM) differ from the standard 223-8106 LH 2 STRAP?

The key difference is the “long life (ARM)” reinforcement:

· 229-7102 LH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM): Includes targeted reinforcement at stress-prone areas, weighs 18.2 kg, and offers extended service life (ideal for continuous use).

· 223-8106 LH 2 STRAP: Standard design without long-life reinforcement, weighs 18 kg, and is better suited for intermittent tasks.
Both share 45 mm edge thickness, left-hand lateral mounting, and K100-series compatibility.

2. Can this adapter be used on machines other than the 980 and 982 models?

No. The K100 229-7102 LH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM) is exclusively engineered for 980 and 982 heavy-duty machines. It will not fit other machine models or size series outside of K100, as dimensional mismatches would cause installation errors and safety risks during lateral load operations.

3. Is the adapter compatible with the 475-5501 HEAVY DUTY LONG LIFE (ARM) TIP?

Yes. The adapter pairs seamlessly with the 475-5501 HEAVY DUTY LONG LIFE (ARM) TIP (11.8 kg) to create a “long life” system for 980/982 machines. This combination is ideal for high-wear, continuous-use tasks (e.g., mining, high-volume construction), as both components feature reinforced designs that extend service intervals and reduce maintenance costs.

4. What maintenance is required to preserve the adapter’s “long life” feature?

To maximize the adapter’s extended service life:

· Regularly inspect the “long life (ARM)” reinforcement for signs of wear (e.g., cracks, deformation) during routine machinery checks.

· Clean the adapter after use in abrasive environments (e.g., mining, demolition) to remove debris that could accelerate wear.

· Ensure proper torque when installing the adapter to prevent loosening, which can strain the “long life (ARM)” component.
No additional maintenance beyond standard industrial adapter care is required.

5. How do I confirm this is the correct long-life adapter for my machine’s left-hand side?

To verify compatibility:

1. Confirm your machine model is 980 or 982.

2. Check that your existing left-hand adapter is labeled with the K100 size series.

3. Cross-reference the part number (229-7102) with your machine’s OEM parts manual—look for “long life (ARM)” designations to ensure alignment with your need for extended service intervals.
