Due to an issue with the double rams on the boom, excessive load was induced at the connection point between the boom and the machine body. This load resulted in the boom box section literally tearing apart through the 16mm steel plates. BDX carried out a full structural re-build which entailed cutting out the damaged top and bottom flange plates, profile cutting replacement plates, re-welding the entire box section back up with full penetration welds, refitting the bushing, applying a full paint job on the repair zone before final re-assembly on the machine. We had this client back up and running in less than a week at a fraction of the cost of a replacement boom!
