Chassis Crack Mapping: Finding the Crack Is Only the Start

Structural cracking is an ongoing challenge on large mining equipment. Haul trucks operate under heavy loads, continuous vibration and changing road conditions. Over time, cracks can develop in the chassis and other structural areas. Most mining operations already inspect for these cracks, but the way the information is recorded can make it difficult to manage […]

Using Technology for Management of Buckets and GET

Managing the wear performance of buckets and their individual components in large fleets of wheel loaders (Above or below ground), hydraulic shovels, and electric rope shovels is important for optimizing operational efficiency and improving costs in mining operations. Each bucket is made up of multiple individual components including Floor, Sidewalls, Rear attachment points, Pins, Bucket

Data Confidence

A Testimonial of performance lies in the numbers

Marketing the benefits of your Buckets and Trays can be strengthened with numbers of actual performance from the field. The bucket or tray has a certain capacity, but the difference between competitive products will come down to:- The above numbers can only be gathered by continual inspection and management of the bucket or Tray across

Managing Undercarriage is more costly than Tires

Tires are high-pressure vessels on which the wear is measured typically by measuring the depth of available tread with at least 3 points being taken across the face of the tire to provide a reasonable average. The overall condition of the tire will be inspected to identify any visible faults that could lead to failure.

Using Propel Hours to Forecast Residual Undercarriage Life on Shovels

Excavators, Hydraulic Shovels and Rope Shovels spend most of their time digging and loading. They are only required to move short distances to reposition themselves or to move to a new area of excavation.   In the mining environment, most undercarriage inspections will utilize the machine hours to forecast the residual life of the components.
