Bucket Tooth Adapter 5KC3 Double Strap

Compatible with the following equipment:

The 5KC3 Double Strap Bucket Adaptor is a robust, heat-treated alloy-steel adaptor designed to weld onto an excavator or skid-steer bucket lip — specifically for use with 5KC-style chisel or twin-tiger (Keech) teeth. Its twin-strap design ensures strong retention, distributes loads evenly during digging, reduces wear on both the teeth and bucket lip, and delivers secure performance even under tough digging conditions.

• The 5KC3 Double Strap Bucket Adaptor is designed to attach to an excavator or skid steer bucket lip — the “lip” being the leading edge of the bucket where teeth are mounted.

• Once welded (or otherwise mounted) to the bucket lip, the adaptor provides a secure base for bucket teeth — such as 5KC3-series chisel or twin tiger teeth — to be fitted and held in place properly.

• By using a “double-strap” (or twin-strap) design, the adaptor shares and distributes digging/dig-force loads more evenly across the bucket lip — which helps prevent undue stress on a single point and therefore reduces the risk of adaptor or bucket lip failure under heavy load.

• The adaptor is intentionally made to match the shape and mounting system of “Keech” or 5KC-style teeth (e.g., chisel-type or twin-tiger-type).

• For example, twin-tiger teeth deliver more concentrated penetration and are effective in tough or compacted ground — when correctly mounted via the 5KC3 adaptor

• Similarly, using a chisel-tooth configuration with the 5KC3 adaptor allows for effective digging — and the robust adaptor-tooth interface ensures the chisel tooth remains securely attached under stress.

• The double-strap design gives greater strength and support, meaning the bucket teeth are less likely to come loose — a common risk in heavy digging or where the material is abrasive or compact.

• It helps spread the load and impact forces more evenly across the bucket lip, reducing localized stress and wear — leading to longer life for both the teeth and bucket itself.

• Because the adaptor is made from heat-treated, high-strength alloy steel, it maintains durability under the repeated impacts and stresses typical in excavation.

• Mini excavators and small skid steer loaders (often up to ~3 tonnes) that use 5KC-style teeth/adaptors. 
• General digging, trenching, and light earth-moving — especially helpful when ground conditions are compacted or abrasive. 
• Situations where operators want to switch between chisel and twin-tiger teeth depending on soil conditions — the adaptor supports both.
