Additional OEM models and special applications can be supported on request.
Our front shovel mining buckets include mine-grade wear protection, such as floor liners, wear bars, cheek plates, upper and lower wing shrouds, cast lip shrouds, heel shrouds, and cast corner assemblies. Bucket wear packages can be configured to match material hardness, abrasion levels, and mine production targets.
A face shovel bucket loads material by crowding upward into the bench on a front shovel excavator, making it ideal for high-production loading in blasted rock. A backhoe mining bucket digs downward and toward the machine on a standard excavator, offering more versatile digging, trenching, and general excavation capability.
Yes. Our engineers can configure FS bucket capacity to match your truck fleet, material density, and production requirements to ensure fast, consistent loading cycles.
Yes. Enstruc supports multiple mining GET platforms, including cast lip systems, hammerless tooth systems, and both weld-on and mechanical shroud systems from Cat, Bradken, ESCO, Futura, and other leading brands to suit customer preferences or site standards.
