In the Harsh World of Mining, Precision Lifting Protects Performance

December 9, 2025

Every maintenance professional in the mining industry knows the truth — contamination is the silent killer of mobile equipment. Dust, dirt, and debris infiltrate systems, damaging seals and accelerating wear on critical components. Once contamination sets in, it’s only a matter of time before breakdowns, oil leaks, and unplanned downtime follow.

What’s less obvious is where that contamination starts — often during the lifting and handling process itself.

When equipment is lifted or supported using unstable or uncontrolled methods, even minor movement can distort seals, strain hydraulic lines, or cause micro-tears that open the door for contamination later. The result: shorter component life and higher maintenance costs.

Stable, Controlled Lifting: The Foundation of Cleaner Maintenance

At B&D Manufacturing, we’ve engineered our lifting solutions to eliminate these risks. Our EJ200 Evolution Jack and Multi Handler systems are designed to deliver precision, stability, and contamination-conscious control — making them the foundation of a cleaner, longer-lasting maintenance process.

Here’s how our technology makes the difference:

  • Precision Hydraulic Control
    Smooth, controlled motion reduces sudden shifts that can damage seals or stress hydraulic systems.
  • Stable Load Distribution
    The EJ200’s engineered base and balanced lift geometry ensure consistent, level support — preventing unwanted movement during maintenance.
  • Hands-Free Component Handling
    The Multi Handler and its attachments allow technicians to safely remove, rotate, and position components without unstable rigging or manual interference, minimizing debris exposure and reducing contamination risk.
  • Reduced Oil Leaks and Seal Wear
    Controlled movement means fewer twisted seals, fewer leaks, and far less chance of dirt and moisture finding their way into your systems.
