ESCO has introduced the Vertasys tooth system.

The Vertasys system is a new tooth system that features a unique vertical lock integrated into the point for in-field replacement. Locking and unlocking the point only requires a 90-degree rotation with an off-the-shelf hex ratchet, according to ESCO.

The enhanced nose profile is not only stronger than previous systems but is less susceptible to fatigue failure, allowing operation in the most demanding applications. Another feature is the specialized design that allows the same adapter style to be used on both wheel loaders and excavators with lower weld requirements than conventional designs.

Key advantages include:

• locking mechanism with stronger points and adapters;

• increased point, adapter and lock strength delivers greater system reliability;

• improved ergonomic installation and removal;

• reduction in SKUs with an integrated lock and multi-use adapters;

• advanced point profiles cast in superior ESCO alloys; and

• support and technical assistance.
