ESCO® Ultralok® Tooth System for Cable Shovels
The Ultralok mining tooth system for cable shovel machines increases productivity via a streamlined profile and point shapes engineered to dig more efficiently. Wear metal has been increased and strategically reallocated to extend service life and reduce maintenance. With the convenience of a standard hand tool, the hammerless locking mechanism provides greater reliability and easier field replacement.
Upgrade to the new Ultralok mining tooth system to help maximize your operation’s safety and productivity.
Improved Productivity
- Streamlined system profile and optimized point shapes improve material flow and increase digging efficiency by up to 6% compared to the SV2® system
- Extended service life via up to 4% more wear metal and a 7% average increase in wear metal utilization compared to the SV2 system
Increased Reliability
- Stronger and more reliable locking mechanism allows increased uptime
- 23% increase in the stabilizing surfaces on the nose compared to the SV2 system, to better absorb digging impacts from multiple directions
- Approximately 64% more frontal thrust bearing surface area than the SV2 system to handle pound back and inadvertent nose wear
Safer and Easier Field Replacement
- Integral lock helps reduce ordering, picking or installation errors
- New hammerless locking mechanism requires only a standard hand tool
- Shorter lock removal tool than the SV2 system requires less effort and shoulder movement
- Lifting eyes and weight markings for safer handling
- Hammerless mechanical adapters available for Whisler PlusTM lips
Reduced Maintenance Costs
- Integral lock for reduced inventory
- No special tools required – just a standard hand tool
- Tighter fitting Whisler Plus adapters reduce required lip maintenance during rebuilds
