Maximize Safety by Eliminating Hot Works, for Caterpillar Haul Trucks

One significant challenge in maintenance is dealing with high-risk hot works such as thermal lancing to remove seized components.

Such seizures observed frequently in CAT 7-Series Haul Truck in standard Rear Strut/Rear Suspension and Sway Bar Pins, making extraction time-consuming and requiring the use of hot works.

Solving Common Pin Seizures

Responding to this concern, Geographe engineered the Colleted Pin Assembly (CPA) – a solution designed specifically for safer and more cost-effective pin changeouts in Caterpillar 7-Series haul trucks, without resorting to thermal lancing.

By employing a tapered collet system, the CPA creates a self-wedging effect between the pin and frame bores, effectively eradicating pin seizures. This innovation makes maintenance more efficient. Reducing, and enhancing productivity for your operations.

Improvement Factors

Safer work environment for maintenance teams byreducing hot works.

Increase fleet uptime with efficient extraction.

Decreases deviation from safe work procedures.

Collet being fixed in the housing protects the borefrom wear and eliminates the need for line boringduring changeouts.
