Steering Arms

OEM Ref: Geographe Original Design Geo Ref: 11544610

Specialised Tooling refers to the development and production of custom tooling that has the sole purpose of improving safety and reducing the time it takes to install and remove mining equipment components.

Designed for OEM mining machines and manufactured in quality accredited facilities to ISO-9001 standards, Specialised Tooling brings significant safety benefits and cost savings to maintenance operations.

Routine maintenance in mining can be challenging, especially when dealing with seized ball studs in Caterpillar 785, 789 & 793 haul trucks. Traditional methods often require hazardous hot works, increasing downtime, safety risks, and operational costs. Geographe’s patented Ball Stud Removal Tool (BSRT) eliminates the need for thermal lancing, providing a safer, faster, and more efficient alternative. Engineered for rugged mining conditions, the BSRT features a lightweight, high-tensile alloy construction, making it durable, portable, and suitable for both workshop and in-field use. Reduce downtime, improve safety, and optimise maintenance efficiency with the Geographe BSRT Kit.
