When a hydraulic drifter experiences reduced impact energy, inconsistent rotation, hydraulic pressure loss or excessive internal wear, drilling efficiency and equipment reliability are compromised.

At HERS, we specialise in the inspection, repair and refurbishment of hydraulic rock drill drifters, focusing on restoring critical mechanical and hydraulic functions to OEM performance specifications.

Our technical approach addresses the percussion mechanism, rotation drive, hydraulic control components and flushing system to help restore drilling efficiency, minimise unplanned downtime and extend component service life.

𝐀𝐁𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐗𝐋𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍.

A mobile mining machine develops increased drivetrain noise, vibration, oil leaks, excessive play or reduced braking performance under load.

These symptoms can point to wear or failure within the axle assembly, including bearings, gears, seals and brake components. If left unchecked, the damage can progress and lead to reduced machine performance or unplanned downtime.

That is where we come in.

We specialise in axle repairs and rebuilds for mobile mining machinery, working on leading axle brands including Kessler, Spicer and other major OEM units.

Every repaired axle is fully tested before returning to service, helping customers restore reliability and keep equipment productive in demanding mining conditions.

Don’t wait for axle wear, leaks or braking issues to become a breakdown.

Contact us to discuss your axle repair requirements or request an assessment.

A production machine is still operating, but the maintenance team notices the hydraulic cylinder is beginning to drift under load, movement is becoming inconsistent, and oil leakage is appearing around the rod seal.

Continuing to operate in this condition can contribute to reduced machine performance, increased hydraulic oil loss and unplanned downtime.

That is where we come in.

We manufacture and repair hydraulic cylinders for demanding industrial and mobile applications. Our capabilities allow us to assess worn or damaged cylinders and provide the appropriate repair or replacement solution to get equipment back into service.

From worn sealing components and damaged rods to barrel and component condition, the focus is on restoring reliable hydraulic performance for the application.

A cylinder should hold the load, maintain controlled movement and perform consistently. If it isn’t, it’s time to have it assessed.

Contact us for hydraulic cylinder manufacturing and repair requirements.

Unusual noise from an axle, transmission or torque converter can indicate developing wear or internal component damage.

If left unattended, the issue can lead to increased downtime and more extensive repairs.

We inspect, repair and refurbish drivetrain components to help restore reliable performance and keep your LHD productive.
Talk to us about specialist drivetrain repairs.

The repair process can include:
• Component inspection and dimensional checks
• Replacement of worn or damaged parts
• Reassembly and testing to specification

The goal is not just to get the LHD moving again.

It is to restore reliable drivetrain performance for the demanding loads, gradients and operating conditions found underground.

When the machine starts giving you warning signs, act before downtime makes the decision for you.

The failed unit has reached the workshop, but the maintenance planner still cannot make a decision because the assessment and repair quote are taking too long. Without answers, scheduling, approvals and production planning all remain on hold.

Our workshop process is built to move the decision forward. Units received at our facility are stripped, assessed and quoted within six working days, giving customers a clearer path from failure to repair planning.

Once the repair route is approved, our machining, refurbishment and testing capabilities support the next stage. Reducing downtime is not only about repairing faster, it is also about giving the customer the information needed to act sooner.

Send us your component for assessment and start the repair decision sooner:
