Due to the extensive level of site requirements of today’s standards, there tends to be quite a lot of fabrication work that is needed in carrying out a typical mine spec build on a machine.
Whether it is something simple like an isolator mounting bracket to more complex products such as headlight pods for underground applications or an auxiliary battery box, there is always a demand for this type of fabrication.
This is why at Westech we have our own sheet metal fabrication facilities, this allows us to manufacture all our own mounting brackets, protection panels, guards and enclosures.
This helps speed up the typical build time of a machine as it enables us to complete the job from start to finish without the typical hold ups that occur by out sourcing this type of fabrication to external parties.
The reduction in build time offers savings to the customer and an increased turnover by allowing machines to be out on the job working rather than costing money in downtime.
