If your project involves reclamation of mine spoil piles, rely on the Cat® Reclamation U Blades. Specifically designed for mining environments, these blades have a much greater moldboard volume than standard U-blades, so they can give high-yield push passes across greater distances.

Wide blade widths - ranging from 192 in (4.88 m) to 287 in (7.29 m) - paired with impressive wing angles of 28–30 degrees help retain material while pushing, allowing for cleaner cuts and minimized material loss. The steep wing design funnels material toward the center, ensuring maximum load retention and improved control on uneven or loose terrain.

Like all Cat blades, Reclamation U-Blades are engineered for durability. The robust build includes reinforced moldboards and cutting edges to withstand the abrasive conditions of spoil piles, loose fill, and rocky environments. High-strength steel components and structural supports ensure the blade stands up to the tough demands of continuous reclamation work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Reclamation U-Blades used for?
Reclamation U-Blades are specifically designed for the reclamation of mine spoil piles and large-scale land rehabilitation projects. They are ideal for moving significant volumes of loose material such as overburden, tailings, or topsoil across long distances. Their large capacity makes them essential for restoring terrain post-mining or preparing previously disturbed land for reuse.

How are Reclamation U-Blades different from standard U-blades?
While both blade types are designed to carry material, Reclamation U-Blades are significantly larger in volume and optimized for loose, non-compacted materials. They feature steeper wing angles for better material retention and greater overall width and height to allow for high-volume pushes.
