Yes. Most mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and diagnostic repairs can be completed onsite using fully equipped field service vehicles.
Workshop repairs are only required for major engine rebuilds, structural repairs, or large component replacements that require specialised equipment.
Mining and heavy plant equipment delivers 10,000 to 30,000 operating hours. Before major overhaul, depending on the machine, operating conditions, and maintenance history. Regular servicing and scheduled component rebuilds extend equipment life.
The most common repairs include
Addressing these faults early helps minimise downtime and prevents expensive failures.
Mining and plant equipment should be serviced every 250 to 500 operating hours. Or else according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
High-hour machines operating in harsh mining conditions require frequent inspections. Routine servicing reduces downtime, extends component life, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Yes. Modern mining equipment uses electronic control systems that record fault codes and performance data. Advanced diagnostics identify engine, hydraulic, transmission, sensor, and electrical faults accurately. Reducing repair time and preventing unnecessary parts replacement.
Repairing a component is more cost-effective if the damage is identified early. Engines, transmissions, hydraulic cylinders, pumps, differentials, and final drives can be rebuilt or overhauled. Restoring performance while avoiding the cost of complete replacement.
Contaminated oil, coolant, or hydraulic fluid accelerates wear on pumps, bearings, injectors, valves, and other precision components. Dirt, dust, water, and metal particles circulating through the system can quickly lead to costly mechanical failures. Regular fluid analysis and filter changes help prevent this.
