ROX Mining Parts examines why the cheapest repair option isn’t always the best outcome, with downtime, freight, labour and component availability all factoring into the decision. A failed fuel tank could have sidelined one Australian haul truck for more than a month, after a local repairer quoted a 35-day turnaround. An OEM replacement was even further away, with a lead time of at least six months. ROX Mining Parts instead dispatched a direct-fit replacement held in Australia within 48 hours.
