DELIVER LONG-TERM GAINS WITH ENHANCED PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

We started taking note of mining spare part deficiencies as far back as 1980.  In 1994, we formalised our parts range to include a Geographe Enhanced Performance™ (EP) offering.

These solutions focus on best practices to maximise your OEM machinery's efficiency. Partnering with us can deliver considerable fleet gains through the strategic use of Geographe Replacement Parts alongside Enhanced Performance components and Specialised Tooling.

This powerful combination can significantly boost uptime for your Haul Trucks, Excavators, Dozers and Loaders. Connect with us to talk about how you can minimise safety risks, and ensure consistent, reliable equipment performance at your mine site.

Frequently asked questions

What are Enhanced Performance Parts?

Enhanced Performance (EP) parts are specifically engineered to solve common challenges mine sites face, optimising the performance, durability, and efficiency of machinery used in mining operations. Enhanced Performance parts incorporate advanced materials, innovative designs, and rigorous testing by enhancing the current design, offering superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact, resulting in extended service life and reduced downtime to achieve operational excellence. 

What is Thermal Lancing? And what are the associated hazards?

Thermal lancing is a cutting process that uses a mixture of oxygen and fuel to create a high-temperature flame for cutting through metal or other materials. The process involves a thermal lance, which is a long steel tube.  

This is a widely used technique in mining operations to remove worn or seized components in earthmoving equipment. Thermal lancing is incredibly time-consuming and comes with inherent risks that can jeopardise worker safety such as respiratory risks, severe burns, eye injuries, toxic fume emissions, as well as being a fire hazard. 

How does Enhanced Performance (EP) support maintenance events?

Enhanced Performance (EP) significantly supports maintenance events as parts are designed to last longer, reducing the frequency of maintenance intervals. 

Geographe EP parts ensure optimal performance, enabling machines to reach the required number of operating hours before the next maintenance event. EP parts can also increase safety in maintenance events by eliminating the need for hazardous practices like thermal lancing or hot works.  

Our Enhanced Performance (EP) solutions can also simplify the process of ordering and utilising components by offering kits that bundle various necessary parts under a single part number. 

What makes Enhanced Performance (EP) Parts cost-effective?

The cost-effectiveness of Geographe EP Parts stems from their engineered development, specifically designed to address on-site challenges. These parts not only provide better-performing replacement components and promote safer work practices but also offer long-term cost savings. By reducing labour costs and increasing product longevity, our EP range minimises the need for frequent change-outs. As a result, customers benefit from improved performance, enhanced safety, and reduced maintenance expenses, making EP Parts a highly cost-effective solution. 

How will Enhanced Performance (EP) Parts reduce downtime?

EP Parts significantly reduce downtime by improving maintenance practices and enhancing operational performance. Through innovative solutions such as colleted/greaseable pins, enhanced ball studs, and top hat bushes, Geographe EP Parts offer several benefits such as faster pin replacement, eliminating the need for time-consuming thermal lancing; improved durability and performance, enabling longer operational hours; and enhanced longevity of critical components, minimising the need for frequent replacements. These advantages collectively contribute to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and increased operational efficiency for our customers.
