Mining LHD Loader Bucket heel shrouds

Enstruc supplies LHD Heel Shrouds that are engineered to protect the rear corner of underground mining load haul dump (LHD) loader buckets where abrasion and compressive forces are highest. During mucking, back-dragging, and turning in confined headings, material is forced across the bucket heel, rapidly thinning the shell and distorting the bucket floor. Our range of heavy-duty LHD bucket heel shrouds absorb that wear, stabilise heel geometry, and extend bucket service life in high-cycle underground mining production.

Key Features

  • Protects mining LHD bucket heel from severe sliding abrasion
  • Cast with custom high performance wear-resistant material
  • Reinforces bucket heel structure under compressive loads
  • Reduces LHD bucket shell thinning during back-dragging cycles
  • Maintains bucket floor angle for smooth, efficient material flow
  • Weld-on and bolt-on heel shroud designs to suit maintenance
  • Suitable for small, medium, and large LHD loader models
  • Extends LHD bucket life between major rebuilds

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In underground mining operations, LHD loaders frequently reverse with a full bucket or back-drag to clean headings. This funnels abrasive material directly across the heel, creating intense sliding wear and compressive stress.
By preserving heel thickness and bucket floor geometry, heel shrouds prevent distortion. This supports smoother material flow, easier back-dragging, and reduced resistance during mucking.
Enstruc's range of LHD bucket heel shrouds are designed for Sandvik Toro and LH series underground loaders, Epiroc Scooptrams, Caterpillar R-series, Komatsu WX series, and other Mining LHDs up to 80 tonnes. Popular bogger models include Sandvik LH410, LH514, LH517, LH621, LH625; and Cat R1300, R1600, R1700, R2900, R3000; and Epiroc ST1030, ST14, ST18.
Depending on your bucket maintenance program, Enstruc supply both weld-on and bolt-on bucket heel shrouds for load haul dump loaders. The LHD bolt-on heel shrouds use mechanical retention which allows faster change-out and no hot works during maintenance. Weld-on interlocking heel shrouds are also available to install with the interlocking profile bars for superior protection of GET and underside wear package.
Yes. Our LHD heel protection is suitable for both left and right sides of the loader bucket, which reduces inventory holding.
Yes. Enstruc can supply custom heel shrouds based on bucket drawings, the material being mined, and heel wear pattern analysis.
Yes. Enstruc delivers LHD heel shrouds and underground bucket wear protection worldwide.
