Turning Undercarriage Wear Measurements into Data-Driven, Measurable Savings

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Undercarriage Management is not just inspection.It is the conversion of physical measurements into decisions that extract maximum component life and eliminate unnecessary cost. Measurements alone do not create value.Decisions driven by those measurements do. The process is simple to explain, but powerful in practice: This is how undercarriage becomes a controlled financial lever, not an

Valuation of a Used Undercarriage Track Frame

Leave a Comment / Dozer Undercarriage, TrackTreads, Uncategorized, Undercarriage, Undercarriage Inspection /

Undercarriage Track Frames represent a significant capital asset within heavy equipment fleets. Their total installed cost comprises both the rebuild cost of the frame itself and the value of the undercarriage components fitted to it. Once installed and in operation, the frame progressively wears, depreciates, and is subject to fatigue cracking due to high mechanical

Beyond Budget Life: Enhancing Decision Quality Through Condition Monitoring

Leave a Comment / Dozer Undercarriage, Field Inspections, Reliability Engineering, Uncategorized, Undercarriage Inspection, Undercarriage Management /

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

In Tough Markets, Precision Wear Management Pays Off

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Maximise Component Life. Minimise Maintenance Costs. In today’s cost-conscious mining environment, managing wear material is more critical than ever. Undercarriage and wear components are high-value items—engineered for durability through complex, expensive processes. On large dozers, undercarriage alone accounts for well over 50% of total maintenance costs. That’s why optimising undercarriage performance isn’t optional—it’s essential. Effective
