Abstract
An earthmoving equipment bucket corner has a first portion, a second portion and an intermediate portion between the first and second portions, all in different planes to one another. A boss or lug is provided on the leading edge of the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is angled relative to both the first and second portions, which alleviates the load stresses otherwise created in a traditional 90° corner. The first portion has a wall with a taper or bevel towards a forward edge. The second portion has a wall with a leading flared wall portion that widens the corner at the front. The intermediate portion is preferably at an included angle of around 120° to 170° with respect to the respective walls of the first and second portions.
