−Design keeps same tooth/digging angle as standard dippers

−Heel has additional clearance to bank.

−Less heel band wear

−Additional digging/penetration; heel does not drag in the bank

−Added dipper volume without significantly adding structure weight

−Added volume is low on the floor of the dipper – where it actually fills.

−Direct load path, fewer stress risers

−Operating in the following applications

•      Oil Sands
•      Copper
•      Iron Ore
