    An EP MOD part is a Geographe Enhanced Performance™ part that may also require the machine to be modified for correct installation.

    Geographe 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.

    The Geographe Enhanced Performance (EP) Top Hat Bush Kit (including 4417982 and 4417979 bush) is engineered to suit Hitachi EX5500 and EX5600 excavators. Standard OEM bushes and thrust plates in this location are prone to premature wear, which can lead to excessive movement, misalignment, and damage to mounting faces. Geographe’s EP design integrates the bushing and thrust plate into a single, more robust component. Manufactured using advanced materials and gas carburisation heat treatment, the Top Hat Bush maintains OEM tolerance for longer, minimising wear and reducing downtime. This design improvement extends service life under dynamic mining loads, helping keep excavation systems operating reliably.
