From Reactive Repairs to Planned Cycles: The Future of Bucket Maintenance
Online
2.00pm - 2.45pm
Excavator buckets are traditionally maintained reactively, with cracking, wear and structural repairs handled onsite as they arise. This session looks at what changes when bucket maintenance is planned instead.
We’ll walk through case studies showing how a bucket can deliver up to 18,000 hours of operation across planned maintenance cycles.
We’ll cover the safety case for moving welding, grinding and structural repairs away from the mine site, what “maintenance-free” actually means in practice, and how planned cycles compare to reactive repairs on availability and total cost of ownership.
