Every fleet owner of earth moving machinery has multiple different makes and models of machines. Machines are acquired to match their strengths to the specific requirements of the project and ensure cost effectiveness. This does of course create a headache for the customer when it comes to measuring the undercarriage. The OEM’s will measure their

Regular scheduled inspections should enable Cracks to be (a)Identified, (b) measured, with limits set for maximum length and then (c) scheduled for repair by a specified date depending on the propagation rate and maximum allowable length. Images and comments help to make the task of creating work orders with specific instructions for the service Technician

Undercarriage components are high wear and large replacement cost items. Succeeding in this market means proving the performance of the product. This is where it often gets twisted since to provide a true comparison of performance; “apples versus apples”, requires: – Selecting the correct component for the environment – testing the performance of a component

Undercarriage and GET are high cost, fast wearing parts on any machine. The result is that there is a lot of money associated with the replacement of these components, and many options available in the market. Customers purchase product based on price and product performance. Price is easy to calculate. Performance is very different. No

High Wear Components need to be monitored on any quarry or mine-site as they chew up heaps of money. Downtime for repairs or replacements needs to be planned while also monitoring the actual true performance of these components in cost per hour or tonne. This challenge has been made easier with TrackTreads 2 in 1

Equipment Management is an ever-evolving science with existing frontiers being constantly broken while new ones are being set. One of those frontiers is in Wear Surface Management and more particularly Undercarriage and GET. Companies operating heavy gear are spending large dollars on Undercarriage and GET. The question on both end customer and supplier’s minds is:
