Quality wear parts that last
From humble beginnings in 1984, Wear Parts Services (WPS) has become a major supplier of GET, wear-resistant materials and specialised lubricants, aligned to mining, construction, mineral processing and heavy industrial requirements.
Managing Director Mike Kelly said, “We have always focused on providing exceptional service and top-quality products. Our track record is particularly evident at Bengalla, where we have supplied high-performance Whitmore lubricants to their dragline since its commissioning in 1998.”
The WPS field service team has ensured that the P&H 9020 dragline has operated continuously with regular on-site services. These include bulk filling, routine inspection and reporting, oil and grease sampling, single-point lubrication installations, and Inventory management.
WPS supplies Bengalla with Whitmore lubricants, Air Sentry desiccant breathers, Simalube and Memolub lubricators and a range of GET for mobile plant.
The Bengalla dragline has achieved high levels of mechanical availability for over twenty years and WPS feels that it has made a substantial contribution to that.
“Over the years, the Bengalla Mine has operated under several different owners and WPS has continually enjoyed a good working relationship with each successive owner,” said Mike.
“We are delighted that New Hope has maintained the relationship with WPS and other local suppliers and service providers. Our close proximity to the mine allows us to provide immediate response to Bengalla’s requirements on a 24/7 basis.”
WPS also offers a range of customised wear protection packages for dozers, graders, scrapers and loaders. These include large bucket and dipper liner kits, edge and end bit kits of complete change-outs, high-performance tungsten carbide hard facing, as well as custom castings for wing, lip and heel protection.
As a wholly Australian-owned company, WPS was established by Mike and Colleen Kelly in 1984 in Muswellbrook NSW. It’s committed to supplying quality products and services, backed by QA certification since 1995, and ISO 9001 certification. This demonstrates its commitment to service and ensures all operating policies and procedures will deliver customer satisfaction.
