Hardox® Steel in Excavator Attachments: Why It Matters

When it comes to heavy-duty applications such as demolition, quarrying, and scrap handling, the durability of your excavator attachments is critical. That’s where Hardox® wear-resistant steel makes all the difference.

Using Hardox® in buckets, grabs, rippers, and breakers dramatically improves service life, reduces maintenance, and increases productivity on site.

What is Hardox® Steel?

Hardox® is a wear-resistant steel produced by SSAB, known for its exceptional hardness and toughness. It combines high strength with excellent impact resistance — ideal for excavator attachments exposed to constant abrasion, impact, and mechanical stress.

Why Hardox® is Superior in Excavator Attachments

Extended Service Life: Hardox® 450 and 500 last up to 2–3 times longer than standard steel under harsh working conditions.
Less Downtime: Fewer repairs and replacements mean increased machine availability.
Lightweight Strength: Hardox allows thinner plates without compromising strength — reducing overall attachment weight and fuel consumption.
Structural Integrity: Hardox maintains shape and performance even after prolonged exposure to abrasive materials.
