Ground Engaging Tools

Plough Bolts and GET Fasteners

Plough bolts, track bolts, conical washers and nuts for cutting edges, end bits and grader blades, in the strength classes used on earthmoving attachments.

Features

  • Plough bolt head shapes, domed, square-neck and flat, are matched to the countersink in the edge so the head sits flush and is not worn away.
  • Strength class is part of the specification: an under-specified bolt stretches, the edge works loose and the blade hole is damaged.
  • Conical and wedge washers hold tension as the joint settles, and are replaced with the bolt.
  • Bolts are torqued in a set sequence and re-torqued after the first working shift, once the edge has seated.
  • Supplied in kits per edge so an overnight change-out is not stopped by a short quantity.
