DEUCE Tungsten Carbide
Inserted Grader Blades
For extreme abrasion grading applications
All of ESCO’s products come to life after an extensive
engineering analysis. The DEUCE™ blade is no
exception as extreme abrasion applications are the most
demanding. ESCO has designed the product with two
rows of tungsten carbide inserts on the bottom edge
and E3 overlay on the blade face. These dual tungsten
carbide inserts maximize wear life while optimizing
cutting performance. Embedded E3 tungsten carbide
overlay further enhances wear life. The DEUCE blade
is offered in three- and four-foot lengths with holes to
accept either 3/4-inch or 1-inch mounting bolts.

Ultralok Tooth System
Expanded adapter offering
The Ultralok® tooth system is trusted at safe and
productive sites worldwide. This ESCO assembly,
which is designed for the construction industry’s
needs, has a slim profile with smooth point-to-adapter
transition. ESCO has now increased the adapter
offering to fit even more machines, including bolton adapters for many popular wheel loaders. This
also includes several new point shapes for utility
and quarry applications. Unlike other tooth systems,
the lock is hammerless and integrated with the
point – making it two pieces instead of three. Field
replacement is safer, easier and faster.

THE EDGE | MARCH 2014
ESCO’s embedded E3® tungsten carbide blades deliver
up to five times the wear life of conventional steel blades.
These blades have superior wear life in extreme abrasion
and low impact applications, which means reduced
maintenance and downtime costs for ESCO customers.
The company’s wear
experts can recommend
a custom overlay
pattern to match
any high-abraision
application for
dozers, loaders,
graders, scrapers
and snow plows.

Thumbs and Coupler
Valuable tools in demolition projects and disaster cleanup
ESCO’s product offering includes several thumb options.
The product is available in progressive link style, non-link
and rigid styles for optimum compatibility.
• Rigid style has versatility with three working
positions at 68° 86° and 112°
,
• Non-link style rotates up to 120°
• Progressive link style rotates up to 160°
Progressive Link Style Hydraulic Thumb
These thumbs offer versatility and reliability. Hydraulic
thumbs retract close to the boom when not in use,
which allows more visibility during digging. When used
with a coupler, these thumbs can be used longer for
the same level of material retention. The lubricated,
hardened pins and bushings provide extended life and
allow for easy rebuild. The cylinders use heavy-duty
rods that are cushioned at both ends for longer life.
Rigid Style Bucket Thumb
PosiGrab Coupler
This product helps lower operating costs because it is a
more economical choice over hydraulic thumbs. It features
three- and four-tine options to better mesh with point
positions while large serrated teeth provide more gripping
power. Repositioning the thumb body only requires moving
a single pin, which keeps downtime to a minimum.
This new product was developed to optimize site safety and
to simplify use. The PosiGrab® design features both front and
rear locks that are mechanically engaged through the full
working cycle – and can be operated and
