CRADLE ASSEMBLY

At MASPRO, precision engineering is at the heart of every product. This approach reflects our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and productive solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. By collaborating closely with clients, we gain direct insights into their operational challenges and incorporate these considerations into our designs. This customer-centric process ensures that every MASPRO product is optimised for performance and durability while addressing recurring failures commonly seen in OEM components. Our engineering team employs state-of-the-art tools and methodologies to continuously refine and enhance our designs. By integrating advanced materials and collaborating with industry partners, MASPRO’s products consistently outperform industry standards, extending operational lifespans by up to tenfold. In addition, our pre-assembled solutions are designed for seamless integration into existing operations, reducing downtime and delivering trusted performance in demanding environments.

The redesigned support plate and bolting clevis strengthen the connection between the hydraulic cylinder and the cradle, ensuring a robust and resilient interface. These enhancements allow the cradle to better withstand the intense forces and vibrations experienced during mining operations. The result is a longer-lasting component that minimises the risk of operational disruptions caused by structural failures. This focus on durability ensures that MASPRO’s cradle maintains consistent performance under even the harshest conditions.

With the introduction of an easy mounting solution, the over-centre valve now attaches to a robust backing plate, engineered to withstand the vibrational forces encountered during operation. This upgrade not only ensures secure mounting but also safeguards against potential thread stripping, guaranteeing a reliable and long-lasting installation that contributes to the overall durability and performance of the system. A removable service cover now shields the entire rear section, safeguarding it from large debris during operations where the cradle isn't in a horizontal position. This protective measure enhances the system's serviceability by simplifying access to rear components for maintenance tasks, ensuring quick and efficient servicing without compromising operational efficiency.

The introduction of reinforced mounting plates on both sides of the cradle has further enhanced operational productivity. These plates improve load distribution, reducing stress on individual components and creating a more durable and balanced system. This upgrade enables the cradle to accommodate higher loads without compromising structural integrity, resulting in longer service life and reduced downtime. By offering a robust foundation for component attachment, MASPRO’s cradle significantly improves the overall efficiency and reliability of mining operations.
