How strong is the "armed" excavator bucket for CAT325?

The excavator bucket for CAT325 is the most important working weapon of the excavator, and it is inseparable from all kinds of excavation operations. However, in the actual work process, faced with more difficult working conditions or irregular operating behaviors, which affects the service life of the excavator bucket for CAT325.

"Armed to the teeth"

Excavators working in mines are different from other areas, such as digging hard rocks in mines, which can cause great damage to the bucket, but the protection that this digger has made to protect the bucket is also a bit jaw-dropping.

The outer part of the bucket is all covered with armor. From the outside, except for the gap between the teeth, which is not reinforced, almost all other places are covered with a protective coat.

But when the camera turned, it was discovered that not only the outside of the bucket, but also the steel bar welded to the inside of the excavator bucket for reinforcement, I had to admire the operation of the digger.

Judging from this posture, this kind of excavator bucket for CAT325 is a nightmare for loading in the earth. It should be specially armed for mining operations, but I don’t know if the increase in weight increases so much, will the operation increase fuel consumption or reduce operating speed?
