Frequently Asked Questions

What is mining equipment maintenance and why is it important?

Mining equipment maintenance refers to the regular inspection, servicing, repair, and replacement of components on heavy machinery used in mining operations. This includes tasks like changing engine oils, replacing filters, repairing hydraulic systems, and ensuring safety systems are operational. Maintenance is essential because mining environments are harsh and place extreme demands on machinery. Without routine upkeep, equipment is more likely to fail, which can lead to costly delays, safety risks, and increased long-term repair costs. Proper maintenance helps maximise uptime, extend machinery lifespan, and ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.

How often should mining equipment be serviced?

The frequency of mining equipment servicing depends on the type of machinery, usage hours, operating environment, and manufacturer guidelines. Typically, heavy mining equipment like excavators, haul trucks, and loaders require daily checks, weekly inspections, and more comprehensive servicing at regular intervals such as every 250, 500, or 1,000 operating hours. High-use equipment in extreme conditions—such as high dust, humidity, or vibration—may require more frequent servicing. A planned maintenance schedule, including both preventive and predictive tasks, is the most effective way to avoid unexpected breakdowns and reduce overall maintenance costs.

What are common maintenance issues in mining equipment?

Some of the most common maintenance issues in mining equipment include hydraulic system failures, engine overheating, undercarriage wear, electrical faults, and lubrication problems. Hydraulic leaks and component wear are particularly prevalent due to the high-pressure systems and abrasive conditions in mining environments. Engines may suffer from fuel contamination or insufficient cooling, especially when filters and radiators are not cleaned regularly. Wear and tear on undercarriages, such as track rollers and idlers, can also lead to reduced performance. Identifying these issues early through regular inspections and condition monitoring can prevent costly failures and unplanned downtime.
