The OEM supplied pins were seizing into the chassis and spherical bearings of the suspension cylinders. Subsequent removal required thermal lancing to extract the pins. Thermal lancing and boring seized pins present increased safety risks, maintenance costs and result in extended downtime. <g class=\"gr_ gr_14 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace\" id=\"14\" data-gr-id=\"14\">Minimising<\/g> downtime is a major consideration for owners of mobile mining equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>SOLUTION<\/strong><br> The customer had been using the Birrana\u2122 <g class=\"gr_ gr_19 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"19\" data-gr-id=\"19\">colleted<\/g> pins on and off in conjunction with the traditional OEM pins and <g class=\"gr_ gr_84 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"84\" data-gr-id=\"84\">were<\/g> impressed with the extended life and ease of installation and extraction the Birrana\u2122 pins offered over the OEM. As the Birrana\u2122 pins do not require lancing for removal, there is a significant downtime and risk reduction due to not needing to remove the rear wheels. Additionally, after lancing seized OEM pins, the bores of the chassis require reclamation for corrosion damage. This is not required when utilizing the Birrana\u2122 <g class=\"gr_ gr_22 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"22\" data-gr-id=\"22\">colleted<\/g> pins as they are corrosion resistant, easy to install and remove, maintenance free, reusable, and overall safer than traditional pins.
