Benefits of using the HEMS Undercarriage Repair Line

1. Operational Efficiency – With purpose-built tools like the Track Winder and Track Press, maintenance tasks that once took hours can be completed quickly and accurately. This means less machine downtime and more productivity on the job site.
2. Cost Saving – Investing in an all-in-one repair line minimizes the need for multiple outsourced repairs and reduces overall maintenance costs. By prolonging the life of undercarriage components, operators can avoid the frequent and costly replacements typically associated with neglected maintenance.
3. Enhanced Safety – Safety is paramount in the heavy machinery industry. By providing operators with specialized tools, the HEMS repair line reduces risks associated with manual handling and improper assembly. Tools like the Hydraulic Torque Wrench and Roller Conveyor help prevent accidents by ensuring bolts are correctly torqued and parts can be moved without strain.
4. Improved Quality of Repairs – Each tool in the repair line is designed to provide precise, reliable maintenance, improving the quality of repairs. Properly torqued bolts, accurately pressed tracks, and securely handled components contribute to better overall machine performance and reduce the likelihood of undercarriage failure during operation.
5. Streamlined Workflow – With each component designed to work in harmony, the HEMS Undercarriage Repair Line simplifies the maintenance process. The Roller Conveyor and the potential Master Pin Pusher, for example, support the flow of work, allowing operators to complete each step seamlessly. This setup promotes a highly organized repair environment, making maintenance more manageable and reducing delays.

Undercarriage Repair Tooling Breakdown

1. Hydraulic Torque Wrench – Precision is key in undercarriage maintenance, especially when it comes to torque. The Hydraulic Torque Wrench ensures that bolts and nuts are torqued accurately, preventing over-tightening or loosening, both of which can compromise the structural integrity of the machinery. This tool is a powerhouse in delivering controlled torque, making sure every bolt in the undercarriage assembly is at the exact specification required for optimal performance. The HEMS Hydraulic Torque Wrench has the unique feature of an electric built-in control system and powerpack which enables the user to do manual and automatic repairs.
2. Track Press – Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, the Track Press is vital for pressing and removing pins from track links. This tool not only simplifies disassembly and reassembly but also saves hours in labour. Its strength and efficiency make it invaluable for fast, accurate work, minimizing machine downtime. The Track Press ensures that track links are firmly pressed, reducing wear and extending track life.
3. Track Winder – The Track Winder is an essential starting point in undercarriage repair. It allows operators to wind and unwind heavy tracks safely and efficiently. Track winders prevent track mishandling, ensuring no damage occurs to the track components. This not only boosts the ease of managing bulky undercarriage parts but also significantly reduces the risk of injury during track handling, as operators can maintain a safe distance.
4. Roller Conveyor – Moving heavy components can be both time-consuming and risky, especially when dealing with large undercarriage parts. The Roller Conveyor offers a practical solution by enabling effortless movement of track components throughout the repair process. This boosts workflow efficiency, helping teams work quickly and safely without having to manually transport parts from one station to another.
5. Master Pin Pusher (Potential Addition) – While still a potential addition, the Master Pin Pusher would further elevate the functionality of the repair line. This tool streamlines the process of pushing and removing pins, allowing for rapid and precise work on any undercarriage track. Its inclusion would enhance the line’s flexibility, making it easier to service a wide range of undercarriage types, sizes, and configurations.
