The ESCO Toplok® shroud is a fully mechanical shroud system consisting of a pin, boss, and shroud. Unprotected lips are subject to wear, and are expensive to replace. Toplok shrouds provide excellent lip protection while maintaining penetration.
Cast with through-hardened ESCO alloys, Toplok shrouds offer excellent abrasion and impact resistance. ESCO leads the industry in computer-aided design technology and quality manufacturing techniques (ISO 9001).
ESCO offers Toplok shrouds to fit a wide range of lips for front end loaders, load haul dump machines, hydraulic face shovels, and hydraulic excavators.
Toplok Shroud Features
- Quick and easy shroud change-out in the field, no large hammers and no welding necessary (following initial installation of the boss)
- Longer lip life results from wrap-around design of shroud, extending time before lip rework is needed
- Reliable and secure Toplok pin system keeps shrouds on the lip and wing
- Unique design doesn’t require holes n the lips, reducing chances of lip cracking or failure
- Maximum lip protection provided by the Toplok shroud while maintaining a superior penetrating design
