Epiroc Scooptram underground loaders can now be equipped with CR Powered by Epiroc Wearpact ground engagement tools (GET) option as factory-fit, the OEM says, offering extended wear life.

Wearpact GET is a premium edge lip built feature on the bucket, suitable for any material and loading conditions, according to the company. This integration follows CR, an Australian provider of advanced GET and digital solutions, joining Epiroc in February 2023.

Epiroc says its high performance underground loaders are designed with safety, reliability, serviceability, productivity and operator comfort in mind. Customers can augment these benefits by adding the Wearpact feature to the Scooptram loader for hard-rock underground mining applications.

The Wearpact GET is a safe, high-quality, bolt-on GET system. The low profile, self-sharpening edge ensures optimal penetration and clean engagement at every pass, ensuring up to 40% longer wear life, according to the company.

Erik Gert, Global Product Manager – Large Loaders, Underground division, Epiroc, said: “The Scooptram underground loaders are productive machines and one of the most important parts that keeps productivity ongoing is a well functioning bucket. By adding the Wearpact GET option on a standard machine, customers will enhance their loader bucket with a longer life. This means less time spent in the repair shop and less downtime for the Scooptram loader, leading to a continuous productivity cycle.”

Hannah Sabih, CR Powered by Epiroc GM Underground, added: “Epiroc’s loaders are already market-leading, and now buckets will come with our Wearpact GET for the best possible performance. The retainer is engaged from the top of the lip, enabling safer installation and change out, as well as reliable retention. The low profile ensures maximum wear life of the GET, reducing maintenance downtime and improving machine availability.”

The GET is already available for Scooptram ST18 and Scooptram ST14 loaders in the Smart and Green series, with Scooptram ST7 and Scooptram ST1030 options available in 2025, the company says.
