Product Specifications

Features

Superior Penetration Performance

Engineered with a heavy penetration design, the K90 475-5486 bucket tooth excels in breaking through hard surfaces such as compacted soil, rock, and concrete. Its sharp, precision-cast tip reduces resistance during operation, allowing CAT 966 and 972 machines to work more efficiently with less fuel consumption.

Durable Material & Construction

Crafted from high-strength alloy steel, this bucket tooth undergoes rigorous heat treatment to enhance hardness and wear resistance. The material’s toughness prevents premature chipping or breaking, even under continuous heavy loads—ideal for long-term use in demanding environments like mines, quarries, and large-scale construction sites.

Perfect Compatibility

Meticulously manufactured to match the specifications of CAT 966 and 972 equipment, the 475-5486 bucket tooth ensures a seamless fit with existing adapters (e.g., CAT 222-1094, 229-7098). This compatibility eliminates the need for modifications, reducing installation time and ensuring stable operation.

Cost-Effective Solution

As a direct replacement for original CAT bucket teeth, the K90 475-5486 offers comparable performance at a more competitive price. It minimizes downtime by extending replacement intervals, making it a smart choice for fleet managers and machinery operators looking to balance quality and budget.

Application

The CAT K90 475-5486 Heavy Penetration Bucket Tooth is tailored for heavy-duty applications where high penetration is critical. Key use cases include:

· Mining Operations: Efficiently breaking through hard rock and ore deposits to facilitate material extraction.

· Earthmoving Projects: Cutting through compacted soil and gravel during site preparation or land development.

· Construction Sites: Excavating foundations, trenches, or demolition debris where tough materials are present.

· Quarry Work: Processing stone and aggregate with minimal wear on the bucket and machinery.

Its compatibility with CAT 966 and 972 loaders makes it a versatile accessory for industries relying on these popular heavy equipment models.

FAQ

What equipment models is the K90 475-5486 bucket tooth compatible with?

It is specifically designed for CAT 966 and 972 loaders, ensuring a precise fit with no modifications required.

How does the "heavy penetration" design differ from standard bucket teeth?

The heavy penetration design features a sharper, more tapered tip and reinforced structure, reducing resistance when cutting through hard materials. This allows for faster, more efficient operation compared to standard teeth, which are better suited for softer substrates.

What material is the K90 475-5486 bucket tooth made of?

It is constructed from high-strength alloy steel with heat treatment, enhancing hardness (up to HRC 50-55) and wear resistance for long-term durability.

How much does the K90 475-5486 bucket tooth weigh?

The weight is 11.3KG, balancing durability with manageable load on the bucket and machinery.

Can this bucket tooth be used with non-CAT adapters?

While it is optimized for CAT adapters (e.g., 222-1094, 229-7098), it may fit compatible third-party adapters designed for CAT 966/972 models. We recommend verifying adapter specifications before use.
