A record-breaking undercarriage system engineered for unmatched durability, reliability, and reduced total cost of ownership.
In mining, equipment reliability can make or break operational success. Vale’s Carajás iron ore mine in Brazil faced mounting challenges with undercarriage systems for electric rope shovels that required frequent repairs, leading to costly downtime and rising maintenance expenses. By implementing L&H Industrial’s 495HR undercarriage, the mine achieved a groundbreaking milestone, surpassing 50,000 hours of continuous operation. This achievement not only set a new industry benchmark but also highlighted the advanced engineering and exceptional longevity that L&H systems deliver to mining operations worldwide.
