Bolt-On Cutting Edges Suitable for Volvo® Wheel Loaders

Selecting bolt-on cutting edges for Volvo® wheel loaders

The machine model helps narrow down the options. For ordering, however, the component actually fitted to the bucket is decisive. On repaired or modified buckets, the installed cutting edge may differ from the original configuration.

Distinguishing the bolt-on cutting edge from the base edge

The bolt-on cutting edge is the replaceable wear part mounted to the front of the bucket. It takes the direct wear and protects the load-bearing base edge. Depending on the bucket system, the cutting edge consists of one full-length edge or several bolted components.

Treating segments as a separate component type

Segments form part of multi-piece cutting-edge systems. They are not equivalent to a full-length bolt-on cutting edge. Their position on the bucket alone is also not sufficient to classify them as centre cutting edges.

For identification, the confirmed reference number, dimensions and bolt pattern of the segment must match the installed component.

Checking the reference number and installed version

The reference number is the first step in the identification process, but it does not confirm the correct replacement part on its own. It must be checked together with the component type, length, width, thickness and bolt pattern of the installed cutting edge.

Similar reference numbers or the same machine series do not confirm interchangeability. The confirmed specification of the individual product remains decisive.

Checking the complete bolt pattern and fasteners

The complete bolt pattern includes the number and diameter of the holes as well as the hole spacing and end distances. Identical outer dimensions are not sufficient when the bolt pattern or fastening arrangement differs.

The specified plow bolt size must match the existing holes. The required bolt length depends on the total clamped thickness of the joint.

A product image or simplified catalogue sketch is not a sufficient basis for identification. A technical drawing may be used when the reference number, dimensions and complete bolt pattern are clearly stated.

Technical specifications remain product-specific

Material, hardness, heat treatment and other technical values apply only to the individual product. This also applies to whether a bolt-on cutting edge is reversible and can be used on a second cutting edge.

Information from another supplier range or from a similarly designed cutting edge must not be transferred to an LIS® product.

Other cutting edges and fasteners

Universal bolt-on cutting edges with 6-inch hole spacing are available under 6 Inch Bolt-On Cutting Edges. Further manufacturer-specific versions are listed under CAT Cutting Edges, Komatsu Cutting Edges and Liebherr Cutting Edges.

Matching plow bolts and nuts are available under Bolts and Nuts. Further cutting edges and wear profiles are listed in the parent category Edges and Blades.
