By working collaboratively with the mine it was determined that high-performance grease should be used from the beginning of the machines operating life.

Agree

It was agreed to use Castrol Molub Alloy 777-2 NG to achieve benefits of:

  • Maximum component lifetime
  • Lowest lubricant related maintenance
  • Lowest operating costs
  • Maximum machine availability

Deliver

After 30,000 hours:

Original boom pins and bushes are still in use.
