A few months ago, the Barrie team was awarded a bucket project. Working closely with engineering and our customer, we developed a plan to give the bucket enhanced protection for harsh conditions. We removed the old base edge and installed a new one, complemented by a RaptorPlate® liner package both inside and out. We also replaced the worn Q&T cheek plates with RaptorPlate® and installed heavy-duty Raptor mining heel savers to guard the bucket sides and corners against gouging wear. Additionally, we added engineered wear strips and Raptor Defender® Skid Blocks to protect the bucket's bottom area, which is most exposed to initial wear.

This project involved significant time and dedication, driven by the GSD® attitude we bring to our work every day. Even our Raptor CMO visited to assess the level of GSD and gave his stamp of approval! Great job to everyone involved, and we’re ready for the next bucket repair, big or small 😊
