There is nothing more frustrating than a mini digger or excavator arm rattling around whilst you’re operating it. For this reason, HTS have been supplying bushes, pins, links and other wearing parts for excavators for over 30 years, to keep your machinery running smoothly and minimise down time.
A common question we’re asked is “What’s the difference between all the different links – H Links, Bucket Links, Side Links and Tipping Links?”
Bucket Links are also known as H Links or H Brackets due to their shape.
This is the main link that connects the lower boom ram to the bucket (or quick hitch). It is this main link that moves the bucket in and out as the hydraulic lower boom ram extended and contracts.
Tipping Links are also known as Side Links, or even Banana Links due to their shape!
These act as pivot arms to move the digging bucket. The links are situated either side of the arm and are attached on the one end on the lower boom arm and the other end is attached to the lower boom hydraulic ram.
Our sister company, HTS Spares, offer a vast range of Bucket links, H-links, H-brackets, Side Links and Tipping Links for the most common excavator models from manufacturers including Kubota, Takeuchi and JCB.
If you can’t see the links for your machine on our website, please get in touch with us, as we are constantly adding to our range and would be pleased to help you source the links and other wearing parts for your machines.
