`Ultralok® Tooth System
`ESCO is the leader in innovation and
`performance for wearparts in the earthmoving
`industry. Keeping with that tradition, ESCO is
`excited to introduce the latest breakthrough in
`construction tooth systems — the Ultralok Tooth
`system.
`
`Ultralok is an innovative and cost-efficient tooth
`system that answers customers’ needs in any ma-
`chine application. The revolutionary integrated locking
`device makes the Ultralok system two pieces – unlike the tradi-
`tional three piece tooth systems of the past. The Ultralok is truly a hammerless
`system, not simply a hammerless locking device. Safety is increased, inventory is
`reduced and field replacement is simplified.

`
`Point Shapes
`
`Hydraulic Excavators and Face Shovels
`S – The S is a standard point, an excellent choice for excavators and wheel
`loaders in general purpose applications. Designed to wear sharp for penetration,
`and features a center rib for greater strength.
`
`C – The C is a chisel point primarily for use on excavators. The design provides
`good penetration and extra wear metal in tough applications. The heavy-duty rib
`and unique tear-drop relief in the bottom keeps the point sharp throughout its
`wear life.
`
`P – The P is a pick point for extremely hard to penetrate materials, and is
`primarily designed for excavators but can be used on wheel loaders. Top and
`bottom ribs provide strength and ensures the point stays sharp.
`
`T – The T is a twin pick point for maximum performance in hard to penetrate
`materials. The unique configuration minimizes the chance of rocks wedging
`between the tines; and is designed for use in the corner positions in conjunction
`with P style points to cut clearance for the buckets sides. The corner teeth can
`be switched to maximize wear life.
`
`F – The F is a flared point for general purpose digging and continuous edge
`applications – an excellent choice for trench bottoms and foundation excavations.
`The wide blade maximizes bucket capacity.
`
`H – The H is a heavy point for extremely abrasive applications and is primarily
`designed for excavators. Additional wear metal provides long point life. The
`heavy-duty rib and unique tear-drop relief in the bottom help to maintain sharp-
`ness as the point wears.
`
`AP – The AP is a heavy-duty penetration point for wheel loaders with added
`wear metal for highly abrasive applications. The beveled tip design ensures
`sharpness, and the top center rib helps maintain the sharpness. An integral bot-
`tom wear shoe provides long life.
`
`A – The A point is designed for optimum wear on wheel loaders working in
`extreme abrasion applications. The beveled tip and top contoured panel ensures
`excellent bucket loading. The full length bottom wear shoe provides maximum
`wear life and ensures a smooth floor to minimize the chance of tire damage.

`Kwik-Lok®II System
`Kwik-Lok II Wear Protection
`The Kwik-Lok II wear protection system provides
`reliable protection and convenient replacement
`in the field. Kwik-Lok II runners are safer and
`easier to change than conventional wear protec-
`tion. Depending on the demands of the applica-
`tion, multiple wear runners may be used to protect
`large surfaces or a single runner can be installed to
`protect an area of high wear. Kwik-Lok II wear protection
`improves safety, lowers costs and reduces maintenance.
`
`ESCO also offers the semi-mechanically attached Kwik-Lok system for special
`applications where a rubber lock is the best option.

`
`Kwik-Lok®II Systems
`Kwik-Lok II Wear Protection
`
`Mobile Equipment
`Kwik-Lok II runners provide an effective wear solution on mobile equipment to
`protect high wear areas on draglines, shovel dippers, face shovels, excavators
`and loader buckets. They are also an excellent choice for haul truck beds. Other
`applications include dozer arms, scraper bowls and under log loading forks.
`
`Stationary Equipment
`Wear runners are particularly effective in crushing and processing plants where
`limited access, confined space and lack of crane service make lightweight run-
`ners a safer, more cost-effective solution. Runners have been successfully used
`to protect high wear areas under crushers, in chutes, feeders, scalping decks,
`grizzlies, transfer points and strike plates.
`
`System is Easy to Select and Install
`First select the size of base to match the application and surface contour. Then
`select the matching wear runner and lock. Once the base welded in place, the
`wear runner is slipped on the base and the lock installed. The equipment is now
`ready to operate. When replacement is needed, the lock removes easily with a
`simple pry tool and a new runner is installed.
`
`Kwik-Lok Wear Protection
`The original Kwik-Lok wear protection is a semi-mechanical system that utilizes a
`weld-on stop block to hold the runner in place. The standard Kwik-Lok system is
`an ideal option for special applications.
`
`Hot Slag
`Semi-mechanical Kwik-Lok runners are ideally suited for fighting abrasion in
`hot slag. The weld-on stop block eliminates the use of rubber that may be
`damaged in the heat, while offering the benefits of ESCO alloy wear and impact
`resistance.
`
`Underwater Dredge
`The reliability of Kwik-Lok system is an excellent match for underwater applications.
`The positive retention with the weld-on stop block is ideal where components are
`not always visible to the machine operator.
`
`Processing Plants
`Kwik-Lok wear protection is ideally suited for applications where gravity can
`be used to hold the runner on the base. Since there is no reverse load trying to
`push the runner off the base, the system may be operated without the stop block
`installed, saving time and expense when replacement is needed.
