A key element of the digging arm kinematics, the main dipper arm link (tipping link) 233/02401 by NEXGEN. This is a structural component that transfers enormous forces between the hydraulic cylinder and the dipper arm, or between the dipper arm and the bucket. Made from high-grade welded steel, it provides the rigidity and strength necessary for effective digging, precisely fitting JCB 802 series mini-excavators.
In the construction industry, machine reliability is the key to success. That's why we offer high-quality NEXGEN replacement parts for construction machinery, which meet the highest standards of durability and performance. Our products are the ideal solution for companies and specialists looking for reliable components at attractive prices.

To install this link, you will need the appropriate pins and bushings. We strongly recommend replacing them along with the link to avoid premature wear of the new parts and to maintain the arm's precision.
The failure of a tipping link during operation, especially under load, can lead to a sudden and uncontrolled drop of the bucket or arm. This poses a risk of severe machine damage and is a fatal hazard to anyone nearby. Never weld cracked links.
The main dipper link (tipping link) is a central element in the digging arm's kinematics. It is a structural component that transfers linear force from a hydraulic cylinder (e.g., bucket cylinder or dipper cylinder) into the rotational movement of the attachment. Its precise dimensions and rigidity are critical for correct digging geometry.

It is a connecting element, often H-shaped or "dog bone" shaped, that forms a key pivot point in the digging mechanism. It transfers force from a cylinder to allow the dipper arm or bucket to rotate.
No. This part number 233/02401 is specifically for the older 802 and 802.4 series models (produced up to approx. 2006). Newer machines have a completely different arm design.
Yes, this is absolutely recommended. The holes in the new link have zero wear. Installing it on old, worn pins will cause play and very rapid ovalization of the holes in the new link, defeating the purpose of the repair.
