ESCO Lip Systems

Loadmaster^® SSC Lip System

The ESCO Loadmaster SSC lip is cast in alloy 12T with excellent strength properties. This strength provides better toughness than plate lips and meets the needs of today's mining machines operating in severe applications.

Loadmaster SSC Cast Lip Offers:

• 
  ESCO alloy 12T, which provides longer lip life and excellent strength properties
• Slimmer overall cast lip profile puts thicker sections in high stress area
• Lip designed to optimize strength while controlling overall weight
• Integral cast wings provide structural integrity by moving the weld out of high stress areas
• Toplok shroud designed provides maximum protection with less throwaway metal and easy change-out
• Unique stepped spade design allows one shroud to fit all positions lowering inventory costs
• S-Series Posilok tooth system provides longer wear life with increased safety, better penetration, improved reliability, and easier adapter change-out

Loadmaster^® HDP (Quarry) Lip

The Loadmaster HDP (Quarry) lip is designed to meet the specific needs of loading machines used in aggregate operations. Constructed of a T1 plate lip and wing design, the Loadmaster lip system combines the ESCO Super V tooth system with Toplok fully mechanical lip and wing shrouds.

Loadmaster HDP Quarry Lip Benefits:

• 
  Easy to change corner wear cap provides additional protection in high wear areas
• Flat bottom design with increased spade angle leaves a clean floor, reducing tire wear and damage
• Spade angle increases penetration and cycle time for increased production
• Tough T1 plate lip provides the best balance of abrasion resistance and structural reliability
• Super V tooth system provides increased wear life, better penetration, less breakage, and are easy to change-out
• Toplok shrouds attach to the lip without holes to reduce lip cracks or failure

Loadmaster^® XDP Lip

In the Loadmaster family, the XDP lip was developed for the larger more powerful loading machines found in the aggregate and mining industries. The Loadmaster XDP lip base is made from T1 plate and comes standard with ESCO Super V tooth equipment and Toplok fully mechanical shrouds. The major difference with this lip is the fully cast corners, which provide greater strength for more demanding applications.

Loadmaster XDP Lip Features:

• 
  Tough T1 plate lips provide the highest quality lip material for balancing abrasion resistance with structural reliability
• Weld-on adapters are long-wearing, reducing maintenance costs (wear caps optional)
• Super V tooth system provides increased wear life, better penetration, easy change-out with less breakage
• Cast alloy corners move welds out of high stress areas for greater strength
• Spade angle increases penetration and cycle time
• Toplok shrouds, cast in tough ESCO alloy 12S, are designed to fit the lip without holes, reducing chances of lip cracking or failure

Zipper Lip^® System

Large machines or small, if you need a lip for an extra heavy-duty application then the ESCO Zipper Lip System is a good fit. The cast alloy construction of the lip and its components resist the jarring impact and grinding abrasion of the toughest working conditions so you can depend on trouble free service. The ESCO Zipper Lip system comes standard with ESCO Super V tooth equipment, ensuring maximum digging performance.

Zipper Lip System Benefits:

• 
  Corner mounted teeth cut clearance for better bucket penetration, reducing side plate wear
• Cast steel mechanically attached wearparts are tougher and wear longer, keeping the machine working longer and provide quicker change-out
• Corner mounted adapters protect the critical lip and wing junction providing a stronger leading edge
• XHD cast alloy lip reduces racking and twisting in tough digging conditions, providing a stronger longer lasting bucket
• Cast alloy side wings eliminate weld in high stress corners, increasing wear life
• Super V tooth system delivers penetration with longer wear and easy change-out
