Our team at Texas Contractors Equipment, Inc. is proud to announce our latest project in conjunction with our good friends at ESCO®.
A longtime customer of ours had an older ESCO® 2.08 Yard 48” wide type HDP bucket (from 2008) on a Komatsu PC300LC-8 excavator that needed to be repaired.
While the bucket itself was still in good overall shape, the bottom had worn out and needed to either be repaired or completely replaced.
After discussing with the customer, we felt it would be best to have the bottom of the bucket replaced, and because of the long lead times the industry has with excavator buckets and the high cost of steel, the customer chose to handle the repairs themselves.
After receiving the serial number of the bucket from the customer, we reached out to ESCO® and asked them to pull the prints to get us a quote and availability for the bottom plate, solid runner plate and lifting eye for this particular piece.
The items were made to the specifications on the prints at the ESCO® bucket factory in Covington, KY. This only took a few weeks to complete, and the items arrived safely at our warehouse a few days later.
When the customer picked up the new pieces, they were very pleased and look forward to completing the repairs and having it back to digging and looking like it did all the way back in 2008!
When you’re in need of ESCO® parts for your heavy-duty plate lip buckets, other ground engaging equipment or you need repairs handled, we are the team to call on at Texas Contractors Equipment, Inc.
We’ll make sure all deadlines are being met and that the project is completed at an affordable rate. We look forward to assisting with any upcoming projects you may have and ask that you give us a call at 713.776.1212 to learn more.
