Features
-
Characteristics
• Constructed from Sandvik SS5000 steel alloy for increased hardness and added mechanical strength.
• Single cartridge locking-and-removal system.
• Structurally improved cast corners.
• Innovative shroud lifting device for safer workshops.
• Top and bottom wear indicators for ease of inspection. -
Advantages
• Straight and corner shrouds optimised for 1:1 wear life, eliminating the need for half-life change-outs of corners. (*)
• 20-per cent lower top leg for enhanced material flow when dumping.
• Optimised design and materials increase wear life by 16 per cent over predecessor.
• Shroud width altered to optimise number required, reducing number of parts. -
Benefits
• Even longer bucket service life
• Reduced maintenance frequency
• Improved safety during maintenance
• Reduced frequency of lip rebuilds
• Fewer parts to track
• Increased loader availability -
Compatibility
Mako 50 mm is suitable for:
• Sandvik: LH621/LH517/LH514

New corner shrouds design
When corner and straight shrouds wear at different rates, additional maintenance stops may be required for half-life change-outs of corners. The wear rate for MakoTM G.E.T corners and straight shrouds has been optimised to close to 1:1, meaning fewer maintenance stops and greater uptime.
-
New pin assembly
Save time and prevent injuries during change-out with MakoTM G.E.T patented, single-cartridge locking and removal system. Each cartridge is pre-lubricated for simple installation. Enjoy quick and safe hammerless removal using a rattle gun (hex bolt 19mm o ¾”).
-
New cast corners
The corner is a high-stress zone on the bucket that faces an elevated risk of fatigue failure. Patented MakoTM G.E.T cast corners have undergone structural improvements that make them resistant to fatigue, extending the life of the bucket lip.
-
New boss
MakoTM G.E.T new weld-on boss system is easy to weld and replace.
-
Shroud lifting device
Shrouds are heavy objects, and worn shrouds in particular can be diffi cult to move due to the absence of lifting lugs. MakoTM G.E.T shrouds lifting device, helps make your workshop safer for easy shrouds change-out.
How the Mako™ (G.E.T) were developed - With a little help from their friends
Over a four-year period, Australian mining contractor Byrnecut was instrumental in the development of the new and improved Ground Engaging Tool (G.E.T) system from Sandvik – MAKO™.
