Built for strength: ITM Mining’s solutions for hydraulic mining excavators
In Australia’s mining landscape, excavators and shovels are the workhorses, relentlessly churning through rock and soil in high-pressure environments.
But keeping these machines running smoothly requires more than power—it calls for rugged, resilient undercarriage components that can take the beating and keep on going. That’s where ITM Mining steps in, with an impressive line-up of undercarriage parts purpose-built for large hydraulic excavators, including durable track chains, sprockets, rollers, and high-strength track shoes.
ITM’s undercarriage parts are designed to withstand Australia’s extreme mining conditions, offering heavy-duty reliability with minimal maintenance. Their track systems are crafted to handle immense loads without succumbing to the constant wear and tear, reducing the risk of unexpected and costly breakdowns.
ITM also adds an innovative touch with TRUST ITM®, a remote sensorised monitoring system with automated notifications, that tracks component temperatures in real time, allowing operators to improve response time and mitigate the risks associated with moving machinery and hot undercarriages. TRUST ITM® helps in extending components life and reduce unplanned downtime, a critical advantage in high-stakes mining operations.
ITM’s Monoblock Track Shoes for Shovels
When it comes to shovels, ITM’s monoblock track shoes offer a significant advantage. Unlike standard multi-piece designs, ITM’s monoblocks are cast as single, robust units by a full automated moulding process in Pyrsa, a worldclass foundry in Spain known for its precision engineering and metallurgical expertise. Produced with special cast steel according to ITM proprietary material composition, and mass heat treated to achieve the maximum structural life possible.
The result? A monoblock track shoe that can handle immense impact, increased load capacity and resist cracking even in the toughest conditions. This innovative design not only boosts the durability of shovels but also slashes maintenance costs by extending the wear life. ITM’s monoblocks enable shovels to stay in the field longer and handle heavier loads, making them an invaluable addition for mines focused on efficiency and uptime.
With facilities in both Perth, WA, and Yatala, QLD, ITM Mining’s teams provide comprehensive service and support right where it’s needed, helping clients keep their excavators at peak performance. From excavators to shovels, ITM has redefined undercarriage performance for Australia’s mining industry.
