Point Shapes
Hydraulic Excavators and Face Shovels
S – The S is a standard point, an excellent choice for excavators and wheel S
loaders in general purpose applications. Designed to wear sharp for penetration,
and features a center rib for greater strength.

C – The C is a chisel point primarily for use on excavators. The design provides C
good penetration and extra wear metal in tough applications. The heavy-duty rib and
unique tear-drop relief in the bottom keeps the point sharp throughout its wear life.

P – The P is a pick point for extremely hard to penetrate materials, and is

primarily designed for excavators but can be used on wheel loaders. Top and bottom P
ribs provide strength and ensures the point stays sharp.

T – The T is a twin pick point for maximum performance in hard to penetrate

materials. The unique configuration minimizes the chance of rocks wedging between T
the tines; and is designed for use in the corner positions in conjunction with P style
points to cut clearance for the buckets sides. The corner teeth can be switched to
maximize wear life.

F
F – The F is a flared point for general purpose digging and continuous edge
applications – an excellent choice for trench bottoms and foundation excavations.
The wide blade maximizes bucket capacity.

H – The H is a heavy point for extremely abrasive applications and is primarily H

designed for excavators. Additional wear metal provides long point life. The heavy-
duty rib and unique tear-drop relief in the bottom help to maintain sharpness as the
point wears.

AP
AP – The AP is a heavy-duty penetration point for wheel loaders with added wear
metal for highly abrasive applications. The beveled tip design ensures sharpness,
and the top center rib helps maintain the sharpness. An integral bottom wear shoe
provides long life.

the early 1990’s and it fast became the industry
standard. Today the Super V system’s strength,
slim digging profile, tight fitting points, and
long wearing adapters still make the system an
industry leader. Super V reusable locking pins,
and long wearing point shapes for every
application still provide maximum performance to
users in all applications.

Point Shapes for Excavators

SYL – The SYL style point is the standard offering for
excavators. The design wears sharp for excellent
penetration, has top and bottom ribs for strength, and
plenty of wear metal.

RYL – The RYL style point is designed for use in high

impact rock applications or as an alternative when
impact is causing breakage in longer style points.

SDX – The SDX style point is a chisel shape design that

delivers very good penetration, and has increased strength
and wear metal.

SHV – The SHV style point is a heavy-duty centerline

point for very abrasive applications when more wear metal
is required.

VY (VYH) – The VY style point provides maximum

penetration in applications such as frost or shale. It has
improved wear life over other pick shaped designs. A
heavier version VYH style point is also available.

TVY (TVYH) – The TVY style point is a twin pick design

with excellent penetration. It is designed to be used in

and offers the maximum amount of wear metal for long wear
life and high economic value.

ARH – The ARH style point is a special design for hot slag
operations. It features a massive wear shoe, thicker ears
and a heavier box section to stand up to the most punishing
conditions. It can also be used in any application where the
most wear metal is needed.

TYLCE – The CE style point is a non-twist design that

is for welding plate steel across the points for easy
installation and removal as a continuous edge used for
grading, or when flat bottom trenching or a flush cut is
desired.

Kwik-Lok II Wear Protection

Mobile Equipment
Kwik-Lok II runners provide an effective wear solution on mobile equipment to
protect high wear areas on draglines, shovel dippers, face shovels, excavators and
loader buckets. They are also an excellent choice for haul truck beds. Other
applications include dozer arms, scraper bowls and under log loading forks.

Stationary Equipment
Wear runners are particularly effective in crushing and processing plants where
limited access, confined space and lack of crane service make lightweight runners a
safer, more cost-effective solution. Runners have been successfully used to protect
high wear areas under crushers, in chutes, feeders, scalping decks, grizzlies,
transfer points and strike plates.
System is Easy to Select and Install
First select the size of base to match the application and surface contour. Then
select the matching wear runner and lock. Once the base welded in place, the wear
runner is slipped on the base and the lock installed. The equipment is now ready to
operate. When replacement is needed, the lock removes easily with a simple pry
tool and a new runner is installed.

Kwik-Lok Wear Protection

The original Kwik-Lok wear protection is a semi-mechanical system that utilizes a
weld-on stop block to hold the runner in place. The standard Kwik-Lok system is an
ideal option for special applications.

Hot Slag
Semi-mechanical Kwik-Lok runners are ideally suited for fighting abrasion in
hot slag. The weld-on stop block eliminates the use of rubber that may be
damaged in the heat, while offering the benefits of ESCO alloy wear and impact
resistance.

Underwater Dredge
The reliability of Kwik-Lok system is an excellent match for underwater applications.
The positive retention with the weld-on stop block is ideal where components are
not always visible to the machine operator.

Processing Plants
Kwik-Lok wear protection is ideally suited for applications where gravity can be used
to hold the runner on the base. Since there is no reverse load trying to push the
runner off the base, the system may be operated without the stop block installed,
saving time and expense when replacement is needed.

Ripper Attachments
ESCO offers a full line of ripper attachments
for excavators from 7 metric tons to

utilized when heavy-duty or continuous ripping
is needed. ESCO ripper attachments are also
an effective attachment when the excavator is
equipped with a coupler.
Tool Box Rippers
Tool box rippers are excellent when only
occasional ripping is required to augment the
bucket’s penetration in rock, frozen earth and
other hard to dig materials. Tool box rippers are
ideal for demolition applications to loosen ma-
terial and avoid potential damage to the bucket.
Tool box rippers utilize a permanently mounted
attachment point on the back of the bucket and a pin
on ripper shank.
