Bobcat Blades and Cutting Edges

Bobcat Cutting Edges and Wear Parts

Bobcat machines work hard in construction, landscaping, demolition, and site preparation. Buckets, blades, and ground engaging wear parts take constant impact and abrasion. Choosing the correct cutting edges, keeping them sharp, and replacing them at the right time is essential for performance, cost control, and machine longevity.

What are cutting edges and wear parts

Cutting edges are the leading surface of a bucket or blade that contacts the ground or material. They slice, scrape, and protect the bucket lip from wear. Additional wear parts include side wear plates, shrouds, heel plates, and adapters. These components act as sacrificial layers to protect the structural base of the attachment.

Why replace wear parts regularly

• Protect the machine: When an edge wears through, bucket welds and the base edge become exposed to abrasion. Timely replacements prevent cracks and costly rebuilds.
• Maintain productivity: Fresh edges cut cleanly, reduce drag, and improve penetration. This saves fuel and lowers cycle times.
• Faster service: Bolt on and reversible edges can be flipped or replaced quickly without grinding or welding. Downtime stays low.
• Longer life for all parts: A fresh edge reduces stress on adjacent wear components such as side plates and shrouds.
• Better finish quality: A straight, crisp edge improves grading accuracy and final surface quality.
• Incremental capacity: Some bolt on blades extend bucket length slightly and can increase total moved volume over time.

Why choose Equipment Blades

• Premium materials: Access to Hardox wear steel and premium alloys for long service life.
• Fast lead times: Many common Bobcat edges ship quickly to reduce downtime.
• Broad coverage: Support for Bobcat plus other major brands so you can source all wear parts in one place.
• Custom fabrication: Domestic manufacturing with custom lengths and hole spacing for precise fit.
• Pro guidance: Measurement help, bolt kits, and support to get the right part the first time.
