Bucket, Blade and Body Management

In order to maximise the service that you get from your Caterpillar Mining Truck Body, a body maintenance program needs to be developed and followed.  Service intervals for the body should follow the same service intervals as the rest of your Caterpillar equipment.  Regular body inspections covering primary welds, liner thicknesses, wear bar thicknesses, impact damage, pivot bore wear, and hoist bracket wear are essential in maintaining your body.  The Caterpillar Mining Truck Body is a highly technical piece of equipment, engineered to give a high level of performance. With all technical products, maintenance is the key to optimising the service life.
