If you operate in high-altitude mining or rugged mountainous terrain, you know that mountain excavator bucket teeth are the single most critical consumable component of your bucket. A weak tooth doesn’t just mean a broken part; it equals hours of excavator downtime, millions in replacement costs, safety risks on steep slopes, and—most importantly—the loss of thousands of tons of daily production.
In Iran, we face genuine, extreme mountain mining conditions:
- Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine: 2,600m altitude, Granite rock hardness of 320 MPa.
- Chadormalu Mine: Freezing winters hitting -28°C, operating on 38-degree slopes.
- Gol Gohar Mine: Steep 42-degree slopes and scorching summer temperatures of +50°C.
- Sungun Copper Mine: High altitude (3,200m) with extreme cold reaching -35°C.
- Sangan Iron Ore Mine: 3,100m altitude, causing a 40% drop in engine power due to air density.
- Mahabad & Kurdistan Mines (Abdullahabad/Kani Gostar): extremely hard limestone coupled with long, freezing winters.
Under these harsh conditions, standard foreign brands typically last only 500 to 900 hours. However, one Iranian brand has solved these challenges. Today, over 70% of excavators in the country’s largest mines operate using METCO.

Technical Advantages Found Only in METCO Mountain Teeth
What makes METCO the superior choice for mountain excavator bucket teeth?
- Anti-Freeze Steel Alloy: Formulated with 9% Nickel and Molybdenum, these teeth do not crack even at -50°C.
- Factory Tungsten Carbide Coating: We apply a 5 to 8mm layer in the factory (not manual welding), resulting in 8x greater wear resistance.
- Twin Lock System: Our double-locking pin technology ensures a 0% probability of teeth falling off on steep slopes.
- Optimized Weight: Designed to be 10–15% lighter than foreign samples, helping maintain engine power at high altitudes where oxygen is thin.
- Optimal Attack Angle: A calculated 25–30 degree angle ensures excellent penetration even on slopes exceeding 40 degrees.
- Real Warranty: We offer a 2000-hour performance guarantee or a full refund.
- 24/7 After-Sales Service: On-site support available even in remote areas like Mahabad and Sangan.
