Common issues
Heavy boom point joints experience pivot wear, leading to joint play and misalignment. This reduces digging efficiency and causes safety concerns.
Solution: Expander® pins are custom engineered to eliminate pivot wear and restore the structural fit of large joints and worn pivots, including boom points, without welding or line boring.
Swing racks and pinion retainer bolts are subjected to continuous rotational loading and shock, which can cause bolts to loosen and welds to crack.
Solution: Superbolt® tensioners apply consistent preload on swing rack segments and support structures, replacing torque-intensive methods. Boltight® hydraulic tools ensure even preload during rebuilds or replacements
