Component Specifications

Definition
The handle body is a critical structural component of the dipper handle assembly in excavators, designed to provide secure attachment points for hydraulic cylinders, linkage mechanisms, and operator controls. It serves as the main load-bearing element that transfers operational forces between the dipper stick and bucket while maintaining precise alignment and stability during digging, lifting, and material handling operations.
Working Principle
Functions as a rigid structural member that distributes mechanical loads from hydraulic actuators and external forces through optimized geometry and material properties. It maintains dimensional stability under cyclic loading conditions while providing mounting interfaces for control linkages and hydraulic connections.
Materials
High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) ASTM A572 Grade 50 or equivalent, with yield strength ≥ 345 MPa, tensile strength ≥ 450 MPa, and Charpy V-notch impact toughness ≥ 27 J at -20°C. Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanizing or epoxy coating for corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 15-45 kg depending on excavator size
  • Dimensions Length: 800-1500 mm, Width: 150-300 mm, Height: 200-400 mm
  • Load Capacity Static: 50-150 kN, Dynamic: 30-100 kN
  • Mounting Holes ISO 286-2 H7 tolerance
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 3.2 μm
Standards
ISO 286-2, DIN 7172, ISO 5817, ASTM A572
