463 Bucket Refurbishment Project
Ruark from GHAAP Engineering and Field Services approached SOLHAR to assist in this refurbishing project for his client. GHAAP operates from Danielskuil area and we brought the bucket to Kimberley to repair. Below you can see the process of this refurbishment. Thank you Ruark and the team for your countless hours of work you put in to complete this job.
Here the SOLHAR team is seen stripping off the 463 Dump Truck 's bucket from it's chassey:
Having to remove the bucket from the dump truck, we needed to lift the bucket by means of a crane and placed it on a lowbed for transport:

Our specialized team starts to identify high wear areas on the bucket:
Assessment of areas to be removed and replaced:
Lifting 20mm liner 500 brinell hardness over the side of a truck to be welded in position. (Ruark does not work without his dog):
Due to the size and weight of the loader bucket, a tandem lift was required to turn bucket to accommodate welding:
Here we are welding the new liners onto the inside of the bucket:
Our job is complete on the inside! New liners for wear at the bottom of the bucket:
New liners for both sides of the bucket:
Sandblasting and completing the paint on the outside of the bucket:

Brave men are not born! They are molded. SOLHAR constantly thrive to achieve the set goals monthly and we maintain our identity in what we stand for. If we do not stand for something we might fall for anything. May GOD always stay our protector in whatever project we complete, big or small. To HIM alone the glory and honor - Hallelujah
Men tend to lose their identity in these trying times. We are identified as hard working men taking ownership and responsibility as good, loyal GOD fearing men for our households! BE THE MAN everyone talks about. Stand out in the crowd. Believe and NEVER forget your role and responsibility.
Deliver service. Something we tend to be dislodged from in society in having a basic right to services rendered around us. If GOD stops to deliver the sun, moon, and stars on time we are done with and therefore we strive to keep our focus on delivery of service to our customers.
