Condition monitoring beats unplanned downtime

Oil samples are the cheapest insurance on the fleet.

Condition monitoring beats unplanned downtime

An unplanned final-drive failure on a haul truck typically costs several days of production. The same component changed on a planned basis is an overnight job.

Routine oil sampling and vibration monitoring flag most major component failures weeks in advance, giving time to source the part and schedule the change-out.

The discipline that matters is acting on the sample results. A programme that generates reports nobody reads produces exactly the same downtime as no programme at all.

Condition monitoring is included on all our mining hire contracts, with results reviewed monthly alongside your engineering team.
