Overview
Cat Base Edges
Cat® base edge systems go through a series of carefully controlled manufacturing processes to deliver improved strength, durability and long life. They come completely welded and assembled with no need for preheating, dramatically shortening your installation and replacement time.
INCREASE DURABILITY
Created with a consistent heat-treat process to increase strength and resist abrasion. Shot blasting removes impurities that can cause inclusions on a weld, and controlled cooling reduces the chance of stress points.
SAVE INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT TIME
Butterbead is applied to the back side of the base edge and the top strap of the corner adapter, so you can weld the edge onto the bucket without preheating.
IMPROVED MACHINE PERFORMANCE
Base edges are designed by Caterpillar engineers for improved performance on specific machines. Three shapes and three levels of build for your application.
