Routine maintenance is required on a P&H 4100XPC Electric Rope Shovel after every 30,000 hours of operation. The maintenance activities require the upper section to be lifted off the car body to machine bearing surfaces and inspect and repair structural components. Weighing approximately 1,000 tons, lifting the upper car body requires a significant amount of force and control. The maintenance team at Joy Global reached out to Enerpac to deliver a shovel lift system to undeck a shovel in approximately one hour and be transported on the highway without oversized load permits. The speed and safety of the lift were critical components to reducing labor and equipment downtime.
