Aftermarket Loader Cutting Edges
Construction Parts supplies high-quality aftermarket replacement cutting edges, bolt-on edges, segments, end bits, and bucket wear parts for wheel loaders, compact wheel loaders, skid steers, and compact track loaders. A sound edge protects the bucket base, restores penetration, improves loading efficiency, and helps prevent expensive structural wear. We support popular Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, Case, Kubota, Volvo, and other equipment families.
Edge Types, Materials, and Dimensions
Loader buckets may use one-piece bolt-on edges, center sections with separate end bits, reversible double-bevel edges, weld-on base edges, or replaceable segments. Heat-treated alloy steel provides a balance of hardness and impact resistance for common construction and aggregate work. Heavy-duty, through-hardened, and carbide-protected options may be appropriate for severe abrasion. Selection must account for length, width, thickness, bevel direction, bolt diameter, hole count, hole spacing, countersink, and the distance from each end. Bucket width alone does not establish the correct part.
Confirming Loader and Bucket Fitment
Provide the machine manufacturer, model, serial number, bucket manufacturer or identification tag, current part number, and edge measurements. Note whether the bucket is general-purpose, light-material, multipurpose, rock, or another configuration. Buckets are often changed during a machine’s service life, so the installed bucket may not match the original factory arrangement. Photos of the cutting edge, bolt pattern, side plates, and data tags allow our parts team to verify details more confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What measurements identify a loader cutting edge?
Record overall length, width, thickness, bevel, bolt diameter, hole count, hole spacing, countersink, and distance from each end.
Can I identify an edge from the loader model alone?
Not reliably. Bucket manufacturer, bucket type, serial number, and installed bolt pattern are important because many loaders accept multiple buckets.
When is a carbide-protected edge useful?
Carbide protection can extend wear life in high-abrasion applications with manageable impact, reducing change frequency and downtime.
Should bucket end bits be changed with the center edge?
Inspect them together. Unevenly worn end bits can expose the bucket corners and prevent the new center section from working as intended.
