HYPER Buckets from Sjørring add productivity in a lightweight package

“In 2021, we launched a lightweight range of buckets for excavators called HYPER. It’s developed for increased capacity in general earthmoving applications and road building. The buckets have been tested in the field for more than a year now, and the reactions from the machine operators have been very positive. In this industry, weight and fuel consumption are big topics. Less weight in the bucket means more load capacity, plus less wear and tear on the machine. We are now ready to offer the HYPER bucket range to OEM customers – even under their own brand, if they want.” Klaus Kalstrup, CEO of Sjørring.

Sjørring was able to reduce the weight of the HYPER bucket range by upgrading from Hardox^® 450 to Hardox^® 500 Tuf. This Hardox^® steel has the same hardness as Hardox^® 500 and practically the same toughness as Hardox^® 450. This allowed for the use of 12 mm (0.47″) Hardox^® 500 Tuf instead of 15 mm (0.59″) Hardox^® 450 without jeopardizing the wear life or durability of the buckets. 

Sjørring was founded in 1946 in the small town of the same name in northern Denmark. Since then, the company has developed into the leading strategic partner in supplying quality attachments for heavy construction equipment to globally leading brands such as Volvo, Hitachi, Steelwrist and Doosan.

Sjørring builds its success by pushing the limits and setting new standards for how much the right bucket can contribute to the overall value creation of a construction machine. The company’s position as a market leader is also the result of using Hardox^® high-strength steel in its products.
