VOLVO L120 Wear Plate 11111811

Durable Steel Construction for Long-Lasting Bucket Protection

The VOLVO L120 Wear Plate 11111811 is manufactured from high-strength steel. It is designed to protect bucket surfaces from abrasive wear. This wear plate measures 35mm thick, 380mm wide, and 600mm long. The substantial thickness provides excellent resistance against abrasion. Consequently, it is ideal for heavy loading applications. The plate shields bucket floors and side walls from direct contact with rocks, gravel, and demolition debris. Additionally, the steel construction maintains its structural integrity under repeated impact loads. Therefore, this wear plate extends the service life of your loader bucket significantly. It is specifically engineered for VOLVO L120 series loaders. The simple rectangular design allows for versatile placement on various bucket surfaces.

Simple Welding Installation Process

Installing the VOLVO L120 Wear Plate 11111811 requires basic welding equipment. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Clean the bucket surface thoroughly before starting.

2. Position the wear plate on the desired area of the bucket.

3. Tack weld the plate in place at several points to secure positioning.

4. Complete the weld along all edges using a continuous bead.

5. Inspect the weld for completeness and grind smooth if needed.

For best results, follow these tips:

• Ensure the bucket surface is free from rust, paint, or debris before welding.

• Use welding procedures suitable for high-strength steel.

• Allow the weld to cool naturally to prevent cracking.

• Check for proper fusion along all edges.

Application Tips for Maximum Service Life

The VOLVO L120 Wear Plate 11111811 performs best in these applications:

• Bucket floor protection in aggregate handling.

• Side wall reinforcement for demolition work.

• High-wear areas in mining and quarry operations.

• General-purpose bucket protection for L120 loaders.

To extend service life, follow these recommendations:

• Inspect the wear plate regularly for signs of thinning or cracking.

• Replace the plate when wear reaches approximately 50% of the original thickness.

• Avoid welding in extremely cold conditions to prevent weld defects.

• Consider using multiple plates for larger coverage areas.

The 35mm thickness provides substantial wear material. Additionally, the 380mm x 600mm dimensions offer flexible placement options. When installed correctly, this wear plate delivers reliable protection across multiple work seasons. It is a practical solution for extending bucket life in demanding environments.
