Major Rebuilds — Complete machine, engine and transmission rebuilds are carried out following detailed testing and evaluation of the extent of the wear or damage. Individual units can be stripped down to their basic components and the economics of the repair assessed. New or reconditioned parts are fitted where readily available. Alternatively, using the comprehensive workshop facilities, the majority of component parts can be rebuilt by high tech welding and machining processes.
On completion, the power units can be tested under load conditions using purpose built engine dyno and test bed.
Specialist Fabrication — Many of the group activities require unique machinery, power and transmission and support systems. The division provides research and development services ranging from the initial engineering sketches, through to fabrication, testing and aftercare to support innovations. These development services are provided to customers under a confidentiality of intellectual property agreement.
Routine Maintenance — Maintenance services are offered at site or workshop locations and include general servicing, inspections, wear part replacements and computerised brake testing. In order to minimise machine downtime and costly haulage most repairs are carried out on site or exchange parts provided. At the end of the service life the plant can be prepared for resale with shot blasting, degreasing and repainting for presentation.
Part Regeneration — In the arduous and often aggressive environment that earthmoving plant is employed, not only are the basic wear parts at risk but also major structural elements such as excavator booms, track frames and swan-necks.
Worn part reclamation processes developed in conjunction with ESAB welding systems are carried out in the comprehensive workshop facilities. Damaged or excessively worn parts are reconstructed using MIG, TIG, ARC, ID and OD welding and re-machined to the material and tolerance standard of the original units.
The Line Boring system allows housings to be accurately relined in the site environment and components on unmanageably large or small units to be bored without disrupting the workshop layouts.
