  • What distinguishes our cutting edges

    It's simple: we rely on materials that deliver on their promises.

    • Maximum Durability: The extreme hardness and abrasion resistance of Borox/Hardox steel ensure significantly extended service life. This means fewer replacement intervals and noticeably reduced maintenance costs for you.
    • Decades of Experience: We exclusively use high-quality, proven steel that we at ECHLE Hardsteel have trusted for decades in our own attachments.
  • What is the difference between Borox and Hardox steel?

    We are often asked what the difference between Borox and Hardox is. The answer is simple: it lies in the application, not in the quality.

    • The common root: Borox used to be directly part of Hardox. Even after the spin-off, the "recipe" has remained identical. So, with both brands, you get the same first-class quality standard in terms of hardness and toughness.
    • Specialization in wear parts: Borox has now fully specialized in the manufacture of wear strips and cutting edges. This is precisely why we use Borox for our cutting edges – it is the specialist for these components.
    • Steel sheets for housing construction: Hardox, on the other hand, supplies us with the high-quality steel sheets that we use for the construction of our buckets (side walls, base plates, etc.).

    Conclusion: Whether Borox or Hardox – we use the material best suited for the respective load in each area. For you, this means: maximum service life and absolute reliability.

  • What can our cutting edges be used for?

    Our cutting edge steels offer maximum protection against abrasion and can be ideally retrofitted or welded to a wide range of attachments:

    • Earthmoving & Demolition: The perfect choice for any excavator bucket, backhoe bucket, and wheel loader bucket.
    • Agriculture: Optimal reinforcement for your front loader bucket.
