Types of Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.)

Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) are critical components in the mining and construction industries. These parts make direct contact with the ground and materials, absorbing the brunt of force and wear. Selecting the right G.E.T. ensures improved machine efficiency, reduced fuel costs, and longer equipment life.

🔧 Common Types of G.E.T.:

1. Bucket Teeth & Adapters

Used on excavators and loaders, bucket teeth come in various shapes—chisel, tiger, and twin tiger—to suit different ground conditions.

2. Cutting Edges & Grader Blades

Essential for graders, dozers, and scrapers, these edges provide precision in leveling and reduce base machine wear.

3. Side Cutters & End Bits

Mounted on bucket sides or blades, these parts protect structural edges and improve material flow into the bucket.

4. Ripper Teeth & Shanks

Found on dozers and graders, ripper teeth break up tough soil, clay, or rock to prepare sites for excavation or grading.

5. Wear Plates & Lip Shrouds

These reinforcement parts extend the life of buckets and blades by resisting high wear areas during heavy-duty applications.

Conclusion:
Knowing which Ground Engaging Tool is right for your job is key to improving productivity and reducing equipment damage. At RockTech, we offer a full range of G.E.T. solutions to match your site conditions and machine types.
