Mining

Due to the nature and location of the industries that require heavy mobile and off road equipment, along with the heavy demands placed on both equipment and product performance, a significant consideration for any operation today is the downtime and operational costs associated with maintenance practices and the subsequent demand for correct equipment management.

One of the most important considerations in the mining market is effective equipment lubrication.

Frequent lubrication not only maintains the correct lubrication film to reduce wear, but also acts as a means to purge the pins and bushings of contamination. In harsh conditions, if rock dust, dirt, sand and water are allowed to work their way into these components, they will form a ‘grinding compound’ that reduces bearing life dramatically. This will cause increased downtime and higher maintenance costs.

Proper, consistent lubrication can help eliminate these problems. Just a small amount of grease is needed to protect wear surfaces and prevent damage.

  • Well-maintained vehicles meet deadlines and have fewer breakdowns
  • Less grease used, which cuts cost and protects the environment
  • Productivity, profitability and reliability are increased
  • Safety practices are improved
  • Reduced repairs allow workers to concentrate on vital fleet operations
  • Vehicles incur fewer costs for repairs and spare parts
  • Vehicles have a longer life
