Slew Ring Replacement

We offer slew ring replacements for all boom lifts and truck-mounted access equipment. We carry this out from our state-of-the-art major repair centre in Pontefract, West Yorkshire using specialist engineers with extensive expertise in heavy-duty and highly complex powered access machinery.

The slew ring plays a vital role in safe and controlled machine operation and its replacement involves specialised tools, ample space, and expertise – all of which CPSLift.com possesses.

What’s Involved in Slew Ring Replacement?

A slew ring replacement is usually required when the wear exceeds the tolerance specified by the manufacturer. This will likely be identified during your routine LOLER thorough examination.

A typical slew ring replacement will consist of the following:

• Precise measurement and assessment of the existing slew ring
• Upper structure and boom removal, as required
• Extraction of bolts, pins, and bearings
• Removal of the old slew ring
• Installation of the OEM-approved replacement slew ring
• Torquing, alignment, and lubrication of the parts
• Checks and functional testing
• Static and dynamic loading testing, if necessary

We carry out all work according to the manufacturer guidelines and any required legislation.

Manufacturer Guidelines & Slew Ring Replacement Planning

Manufacturers don’t usually set exact intervals between slew ring replacements – instead, they simply specify acceptable tolerances of wear.

Regular slew ring measurement during routine LOLER examinations allows you to plan your replacement and thus prevent any downtime, machine failure and/or accidents.

At CPSLift.com, we are in the unique position to be able to offer both slew ring replacements and LOLER testing services, so you can leave everything to us. We’ll log your slew ring measurement at each LOLER thorough examination and will notify you when it should be replaced.
