CAT Bucket Protector
The 1U0740 is a Caterpillar-compatible general bucket tooth from the Protector series — a bucket lip protector that shields the bucket edge between teeth from abrasive wear, extending bucket life significantly. Manufactured as a premium aftermarket replacement by AzuLong Wear Parts, it is designed for loader and excavator buckets requiring lip protection.
The general-purpose profile offers versatile performance across a wide range of digging and loading applications. Suitable for operators who need a single tooth type to handle varied jobsite conditions — from trenching to general excavation to truck loading. The balanced geometry performs well in most soil types without specialization.
At 23.9 kg, this tooth is built for multiple classes class equipment. This heavy-duty tooth is forged from heat-treated alloy steel and finished to HRC 48-58, with the higher hardness range available for demanding rock and mining applications. The increased cross-section provides greater resistance to the bending loads that occur during heavy ripping and prying operations. The heat treatment process is tightly controlled to prevent internal stresses that could cause premature failure under shock loading.
Compatible with: CAT Wheel Loaders, CAT Excavators. Always verify tooth-to-adapter fitment for your specific machine configuration before ordering. AzuLong's technical team can assist with compatibility confirmation — contact rocky@azulong.com or WhatsApp +86-13777046128.
