ground engaging tools

Understanding Ground Engaging Tools (GET) and Their Importance In the construction, mining, and agricultural industries, heavy equipment plays a critical role in productivity. At the core of this machinery’s performance are Ground Engaging Tools (GET) —the components that directly interact with soil, rock, and other materials. These replaceable wear parts are essential for maximizing efficiency, extending machine life, and reducing operational costs. What Are Ground Engaging Tools? Ground Engaging Tools (commonly known as GET) refer to the parts of heavy equipment that come into contact with the ground during operation. They are designed to withstand extreme abrasion, impact, and stress. Examples of GET include: Bucket teeth and adapters – used on excavators and loaders to break and lift material. Cutting edges and end bits – found on dozers, graders, and loaders for leveling and pushing material. Ripper shanks and tips – used to break hard ground or rock....
