Overview

Large mining haul trucks require regular tire and wheel maintenance to remain operational. A self-contained hydraulic jacking system was used to safely lift and support the haul truck during tire replacement, improving service efficiency and enhancing operator safety. 

The Challenge

Mining haul trucks require periodic tire maintenance as part of routine service operations. The truck must be lifted safely and positioned correctly to allow technicians to remove and replace wheels efficiently.
 
Haul trucks are extremely large and heavy, making traditional lifting methods unsafe or impractical. Wheel service requires stable, controlled lifting that minimizes risk to personnel while keeping the vehicle properly supported throughout the task.

Solution Presented

A self-contained hydraulic jacking solution was implemented using the RJ100T37E jacking system. The system allowed technicians to safely lift and lower the haul truck into position, providing controlled support throughout the tire replacement process.
This type of wheel service challenge is solved using self-contained hydraulic jacking systems that provide stable, controlled lifting for large mobile mining equipment.

Results

The hydraulic jacking system enabled safe and efficient wheel service on the mining haul truck. Controlled lifting improved safety, reduced service risk, and supported reliable completion of routine tire maintenance.
 
Based on typical field service practices for large mobile mining equipment, self-contained hydraulic jacking systems commonly deliver the following measurable benefits:
• Setup Time Reduction: Typically reduces jack setup and repositioning time by approximately 20–40% compared to less integrated lifting approaches.
• Labor Efficiency: Fewer manual steps and more stable support can reduce technician labor time per wheel service event by an estimated 10–25%.
• Safety Improvement: Controlled lifting and stable load holding reduce exposure to crush hazards and lowering risks during tire replacement.
• Service Restoration Speed: Faster, repeatable lifting helps return equipment to operation sooner, reducing maintenance-related downtime.
• Operational Consistency: Repeatable lifting procedures improve consistency across crews and shifts, reducing variability and rework.

Other Applications

• Mining haul truck wheel and tire service
• Heavy mobile equipment maintenance
• Field service operations in mining environments
