FAQs
How can excavator damage translate into financial losses?
An excavator suffering damage to its hydraulic piston systems can be out of commission for hours or even days before it can be serviced by on-site repair. During this time, site production is halted, causing a direct impact on revenue from lost material production. Additionally, the cost of parts and maintenance labour can add to the financial burden that might not have been covered by your budget forecast.
How can ChromeGuard’s protection affect the bottom line of a mining operation?
Each damaged cylinder on a large excavator can typically result in approximately 12 hours of downtime for repairs, which can lead to losses of up to half a million dollars in revenue and 7,000 tonnes of lost production during that period.
Can you provide specific examples of the kind of cost savings that ChromeGuard offers?
One major instance of the negative benefits of unprotected equipment involved a mine site with 13 primary dig machines. Cylinder damage led to an annual loss of approximately 1.9 million tonnes of iron ore production, which was coupled with nearly $1 million in replacement parts and labour costs for their fleet equipment.
How can ChromeGuard optimise preventive maintenance strategies?
By preventing breakdowns linked to accidental damage, ChromeGuard allows for a preventative approach that not only reduces unscheduled downtime, but also helps optimise equipment longevity and operational efficiency.
