One of the most common observations in mining operations is that two tracked machines performing similar work can consume undercarriage components at dramatically different rates. It is not unusual to see one machine achieve significantly more operating hours from a set of chains, rollers, or idlers than another machine working in the same area of […]

Accurate measurement of undercarriage components is essential to correctly assess wear levels and to provide a reliable estimation of the remaining component life. Carrier (or upper) rollers present particular challenges in this process. The internal surfaces of the roller shell are machined with varying shapes to accommodate both the roller and thrust bearings, as illustrated

Every machine is built from components, each with a different service life. Traditionally, life is tracked against a budgeted target, but this often fails to reflect the true condition of the component. By combining actual operating hours with condition-based inspections, Asset Managers gain a more accurate picture of component life: This approach transforms raw inspection

Undercarriage inspections are critical to maximizing the life and return on investment of your equipment. Machines that are not regularly inspected typically achieve only 75% of their potential life. Take a large dozer as an example: That’s a 25% improvement in cost efficiency, saving $62,500 per undercarriage set. By using TrackTreads advanced Forecasting and Planning
