In the demanding environment of Forserum Quarry, Daniel Back, Machine Operator at Bjursells operates a Cat 352F excavator equipped with a 3.2 cubic meter rock bucket from SMP, purchased in 2022.

The harsh conditions of the quarry require a robust and efficient tooth system to ensure minimal downtime and reduced wear on the equipment. Traditional tooth systems, according to Daniel, were unnecessarily complicated and inefficient. Frequent replacements and the need for a blacksmith to travel from Jönköping for repairs led to significant time loss and increased operational costs.

I thought that the traditional systems were unnecessarily complicated and had seen C-Rex on other machines out at work sites and how smooth it seemed to be. That made me want to try it myself. I’m the first in the company with C-Rex”,  Daniel says.
