Product Specifications

Features

Heavy-Duty Construction

Built to withstand extreme abrasion and heavy loads, the K90 475-5488 bucket tooth features a reinforced structure that minimizes wear and tear even in harsh operating environments. Its thickened edge design enhances impact resistance, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Long-Life Performance

The "long-life (ARM)" designation reflects its extended service life compared to standard bucket teeth. This is achieved through advanced material selection—typically high-strength alloy steel—that balances hardness and toughness, ensuring consistent performance over prolonged use.

Precise Compatibility

Engineered to fit 966 and 972 machine models perfectly, the K90 475-5488 eliminates fitting issues, reducing downtime during installation. It works seamlessly with adapters (e.g., 222-1094, 229-7098) from the same series, ensuring system-wide efficiency.

Versatile Design

While optimized for heavy-duty applications, this bucket tooth adapts to diverse tasks, from digging hard soil to handling gravel. Its design balances penetration capability with wear resistance, making it a versatile choice for multi-purpose operations.

Application

The K90 475-5488 bucket tooth is primarily designed for CAT 966 and 972 wheel loaders, which are widely used in:

· Mining Operations: Handling abrasive materials like coal, iron ore, and gravel, where wear resistance is critical.

· Construction Sites: Digging, loading, and moving concrete, asphalt, and demolition debris.

· Earthmoving Projects: Shaping terrain, excavating trenches, and transporting soil in large-scale infrastructure developments.

· Quarry Work: Processing stone and aggregate, where the bucket tooth must withstand constant contact with hard surfaces.

Its robust design ensures reliable performance across these high-stress environments, contributing to increased productivity and lower maintenance costs.

FAQ

What makes the K90 475-5488 suitable for heavy-duty use?

The K90 475-5488 is constructed from high-strength alloy steel with a heavy-duty design, including thickened edges and reinforced structure. These features enhance its resistance to abrasion and impact, making it ideal for heavy loads and harsh conditions.

Can this bucket tooth be used with machines other than 966 and 972?

No, the K90 475-5488 is specifically engineered for CAT 966 and 972 models. Using it with other machines may result in poor fit or reduced performance. Check our product category for alternatives compatible with other models.

How does the K90 475-5488 compare to other bucket teeth in the same series?

Compared to counterparts like the 475-5480 (HEAVY DUTY, 8.1KG) or 475-5484 (GENERAL PURPOSE, 6.4KG), the K90 475-5488 offers extended service life due to its "long-life (ARM)" design, making it better suited for prolonged, high-abrasion tasks.
