the new generation Hardox® wear plate
Hardox® 500 Tuf wear plate is the latest upgrade in the Hardox range. It delivers high strength, extreme hardness and guaranteed toughness in one and the same wear plate. Hardox® 500 Tuf combines the best properties from Hardox® 450 and Hardox® 500. The result is a wear plate with no real competition on the market.
More payload
How come a tipper body or bucket in Hardox® 500 Tuf steel can deliver more payload? Simply because it can make equipment lighter through thinner dimensions and less heavy wear packages while maintaining its high durability.
Longer service life
With Hardox® 500 Tuf you can expect twice the service life compared to a 400 HBW AR steel, and up to 50% longer service life relative to a 450 HBW steel. Look forward to savings in repair and maintenance costs.

a recycling champion
Containers made of Hardox® 500 Tuf are light and strong and stand up to the harshest recycling challenges. Heavy and sharp materials like steel scrap, concrete rebar and demolition scrap are no match for Hardox® 500 Tuf. The recycling container is ready to handle the toughest of loads and still return in good shape at the end of the day.
High productivity in mining
Can your valuable mining equipment take a pounding every day and still reach high levels of productivity and profitability? Schlam knows that it can, with a boost in loading capacity of up to 20%. You too can protect your investments with Hardox® 500 Tuf in mining haul truck bodies. It has a guaranteed narrow Brinell hardness range of 475-505 HBW, an impact energy of 27 J at -20°C (20 ft-lb at -4°F) and a typical value of 45 J at -40°C (33 ft-lb at -40°F), making it the optimal choice in cold conditions.
Tippers and dump bodies load more and last longer with Hardox® 500 Tuf
Want to take your business to the stratosphere? Get lighter bodies with the wear resistance of heavier structures? Reduce or eliminate supporting structures? That’s what OEM Mantella did. With a lower tare weight, your bodies can carry more payload, use less fuel per ton transported and make fewer trips on the road.
Increase payload and service life for buckets, dippers and attachments in Hardox® 500 Tuf
If you want productivity gains, nothing beats the combo of high strength, hardness and toughness that Hardox® 500 Tuf brings. And you won’t get bogged down with heavy wear packages or costly repairs because your attachments will last longer – potentially, up to 100% longer compared to using a 400 Brinell steel or conventional AR steel.
