THE WPA DIFFERENCE

THE WPA
DIFFERENCE

WPA’s focus on innovation has lead to the latest evolution in rolled steel, with the introduction of our very own 1XP® advanced wear steel.

The unique ingredients and special metallurgy in 1XP® wear steel produces an exceptional off-the-shelf hardness rating of 500HB. And coupled with serious work-hardening capability, results in approximately 30% longer wear life than other off-the-shelf rolled steel products.

To qualify for inclusion in the XP range and use of the XP, XPA or XPF suffix as an addition to the part number, a product must be subject to:

(a) Special Manufacturing Process(es)
AND/OR
(b) Material Selection

used generally on many products which have been made to offer improved wear performance through material selection AND/OR manufacturing processes

used specifically on adapters which have been made with WPA's advanced shell core technology

used specifically on forged products

essentially material ONLY, used in the manufacture of our cutting edges. We have used 1XP to successfully market our cutting edges as being made from a better material and subject to our standard of heat treatment

material ONLY, used as the base alloy for specific tooth and ripper castings. 2XP is a better material selection used in many teeth to deliver the 1st stage of a better product

material ONLY- currently used in our Pugmill Paddle Tips

material ONLY used in our adapters. Mostly notably in our XPA range of adapters which are subject to different manufacturing processes

We’ve found 1XP is particularly suited to high abrasion activities, so it works brilliantly on sales loaders, dozers, right through to standard bolt-on cutting edges.”

Every WPA branded product is made from our own designs, our own tooling, to our own unique range of metallurgy. We’re obviously very proud of our own products, and we support them with our industry leading customer service and product warranty for your own peace of mind. Our Unlimited Warranty is on the product. In the rare event you have a problem, we are committed to resolve it as simply and fast as possible so you can get back to work, worry-free.

XP-A Adapters

WPA stock a range of weld on single bevel edges to replace the worn base edges in buckets. Each edge has been carefully heat treated to achieve the perfect balance between hardness and weldability, ensuring easy installation and optimum wear performance. We stock a large range of single bevels edges with or without holes. And supplied to you unpainted so you can weld immediately to your bucket, no sand blasting required.

Bucket Armour

Every piece of bucket armour in the WPA range is produced from 5XP® material, ensuring easy installation and optimum wear performance. Our commitment to minimal dimensional tolerances means we employ the latest casting methods, to deliver superior bucket armour to protect your capital equipment and provide you with the greatest "Return on your Investment.”

Single Bevels

We could write about how good we think we are but instead, we decided to let our customers have their say…

“Outstanding customer service. They make it easy for me to focus my attention on the revenue streams of my business, with the confidence of knowing my GET needs are in safe and reliable hands.”

WPA’s new 1XP cutting edges are the best I’ve ever used! They keep a sharp edge right down to the last millimetres before change out, and last…? I’m getting 6 months more wear life on my mud buckets compared to what I used before!”

“The team at WPA know GET. They live and breath it. It’s pretty much the only thing they do, so it’s in their best interests to get it right.”

“The red tipped XP ripper boots are brilliant. These easily outperform anything I’ve had on my machines before, outlasting even OEM product!”

“WPA’s Unlimited Warranty gives me peace of mind, knowing that if I ever have a WPA product break, they replace it, no questions and hassle free.”

Problems? I’ve had problems. The real test for any supplier is the way in which they fix then, or run from them. The team at WPA actually take responsibility for their product and importantly, my customer experience.
