Improving Haul Truck Mining Maintenance with Greaseable Hoist Pins

At Geographe, we understand that the mining industry faces unique challenges, and we're dedicated to providing innovative solutions that turn these challenges into successes. One such challenge involves the frequent seizing of Standard Hoist Cylinder Pins in CAT 785, 789 & 793 Haul Trucks, leading to increased labour costs for the extended downtime, as well as increased deviation from safe working procedures with the use of hot works to lance out the seized pins.

Geographe Enhanced Performance™ Greaseable Hoist Pins

We've partnered with a global gold miner to develop the Geographe Enhanced Performance™ (EP) Greaseable Hoist Pins, a revolutionary solution designed to enhance standard hoist pins. Our pins are effortlessly greased through the truck's auto lubrication system, transforming the extraction process into a safer and more efficient operation.

Benefits of the Geographe EP Greaseable Hoist Pins

Our Product Development team not only analysed the issue with the part failure but also the overall impact on mining operations. Aiming to provide incremental gains to miners and a safer maintenance approach, your mine site can benefit with:

• Increased Operational Hours: our innovative design has significantly increased the operational hours of CAT 7 Series Haul Trucks, minimising downtime, and maximising productivity.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: by allowing greasing through the auto lubrication system, our hoist pins decrease deviations from safe work procedures, resulting in reduced maintenance costs tied to unscheduled repairs.
• Enhanced Safety: the greasing process enhances safety by eliminating the need for hot works and the associated permits and risks. This ensures a safer approach and environment for the workforce.
• Prevention of Bore Damage: traditional hoist pin extraction methods often lead to bore damage. Geographe EP Greaseable Hoist Pins help prevent such damage, reducing the need for welding and line-boring repairs.
