Bucket to Stick Top Hat Bush 3110083 to suit Hitachi EX8000 Excavators

Bucket to Stick

OEM Ref: 3110083 EPMOD Geo Ref: 11541328

An EP MOD part is a Geographe Enhanced Performance™ part that may also require the machine to be modified for correct installation.

Geographe Enhanced Performance™ (EP) parts are specifically engineered to solve common challenges mine sites face, optimising the performance, durability, and efficiency of machinery used in mining operations.

Enhanced Performance parts incorporate advanced materials, innovative designs, and rigorous testing by enhancing the current design, offering superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact, resulting in extended service life and reduced downtime to achieve operational excellence.

The Geographe Enhanced Performance (EP) Top Hat Bush addresses the common issue of premature wear found with standard OEM bushings and thrust plates. Standard OEM thrust plates and bushings are made from relatively soft materials, causing them to wear faster than surrounding components. Over time, worn bolt heads lead to dislodgement of the thrust plate, resulting in significant damage to the bucket-stick mounting faces. Geographe has designed the EP Bucket to Stick Top Hat Bush (3110083) to solve this problem by integrating the standard bushing and thrust plate into a single component. This new design incorporates the same improved material and gas carburisation heat treatment as the standalone bush, ensuring the stick-to-bucket tolerance remains at OEM specification for longer, reducing wear and extending service life. By reducing premature wear and movement under dynamic loads, the EP Top Hat Bush enhances the overall performance and durability of the excavator.

“The Caterpillar Haul Truck Ball Stud Removal Tool has reduced the time to remove ball studs from 12 hours per truck to just 1 hour. The risk of damaging jacks throughout the process has also been removed. This initiative represents a significant cost and time reduction while also improving safety for our maintainers.”
