Open pit mlnlng machinery is required to operate in the most adverse conditions of any industrial machines.

Conditions are rarely ideal. It is always too hot, too cold, too dry or too wet. The air is always saturated with fine abrasive dust. High production schedules tax both men and machines. Down time and delays are intolerable. Down time can not be eliminated, but it can be kept to a minimum by a progressive and conscientious program of preventive maintenance.
