Will the Rhinox Uni Tusk Blade fit my Bucket?
The Rhinox Uni Tusk / Utility Bucket Blade is made to meet the specifications of Rhinox Buckets.
As the blade is designed to enclose the leading edge as well as the lip plate, the internal widths of the blade are made to suit the widths of a Rhinox Bucket Leading Edge - these are not universal for all excavator bucket manufacturers! Manufacturers will use different widths and grades of steel to make their products, this will therefore have an influence on the width of the bucket edges.
As well as this, the Uni Tusk Blade System is secured to the bucket using the drilled holes in the lip plate of the bucket. Similarly to the leading edge, the drilled holes can vary in placement depending on the manufacturer of the bucket. This means that the holes on your buckets lip plate and the holes on the Uni Tusk might not line up, making you unable to fit and secure the blade to your bucket as the pin holes would be out of alignment.
