At Structural Wear Products we are continuously working with our customers to reduce operational costs by providing them with innovative maintenance solutions.

We recently designed, fabricated and installed wheel rock protectors for a CAT 993K loader bucket. The previous design and material specification was not meeting the mine’s requirements; as well, the downtime associated with the replacement was far too costly. The removal and installation used to take four full shifts — they are now able to remove and install the supplied spares in one shift.

Using the combination of our high VFC chromium carbide overlay wear plate (CCO) and Quard 500® we expect to see a 40% increase in wear life.

If your maintenance team is looking for new ways to increase tire life and decrease operational costs, we can help design and fabricate rock guards for any size machine.
