Enstruc offers both weld-on and mechanical (bolt-on) heel shrouds for excavator buckets. Both options deliver maximum strength and long-term stability in extreme digging conditions. However, the bolt-on heel shrouds are quicker to install and replace, which reduces bucket downtime during maintenance.
Yes. Enstruc can design and manufacture heel shrouds with custom dimensions, radii, and thicknesses to suit specific quarry excavator bucket designs.
