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 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.
