Durable Mining Products Built for Harsh Site Conditions

Skopit designs and manufactures practical mining products for demanding industrial and mine site environments.

From reinforced centralisers and heel shrouds to bolt-on wear bars and custom fabricated wear solutions, Skopit focuses on products that help reduce downtime, improve service life and make maintenance easier in harsh operating conditions.

Built with real site requirements in mind, Skopit mining products are developed to support stronger, longer-lasting outcomes across mining, processing, maintenance and heavy industrial applications.

Practical Mining Products

Built For Harsh Mining Conditions

Mining environments place heavy demands on equipment, components and support systems. Abrasion, impact, vibration, material build-up and constant wear can quickly reduce the life of standard products.

Skopit provides mining products designed to handle these conditions, with a focus on durability, practical installation and long-term performance.

Products and solutions may include reinforced centralisers, heel shrouds, bolt-on wear bars, fabricated wear components and custom site-specific mining products.

These solutions are suited to sites looking for stronger components, faster replacement options and practical ways to reduce ongoing maintenance problems.

How Skopit Mining Products Can Help

Skopit mining products are developed around the realities of site work. The goal is not just to supply another fabricated component, but to provide a solution that helps improve equipment reliability and reduce avoidable downtime.

By focusing on wear resistance, practical fitment and maintainability, Skopit can help mining operations extend product life cycles and reduce the time spent repairing or replacing worn parts.

Key benefits can include:

  • Improve service life in high-wear environments
  • Reduce maintenance frequency where suitable
  • Support faster replacement and installation
  • Provide practical alternatives to standard wear components
  • Reduce downtime caused by premature wear or failure
  • Assist with custom solutions for site-specific problems
Whether the requirement is a reinforced component, a bolt-on wear solution or a custom fabricated mining product, Skopit can work from site details, existing samples, drawings or practical maintenance requirements to develop a solution suited to the application.

Mining Wear Protection

Skopit Heel Shrouds

Skopit Heel Shrouds are designed for underground mining loaders operating in high-abrasion and high-impact environments.

Manufactured from durable wear-resistant cast material, they provide critical protection to the heel section of loader buckets — one of the most common wear and failure areas in underground hard rock mining.

Designed to reduce bucket wear, minimise structural damage and extend service life, Skopit Heel Shrouds help maintenance teams reduce downtime and improve bucket reliability in demanding underground conditions.

Key Benefits

  • Heavy-duty cast design for underground mining applications
  • Protects high-wear heel areas from premature failure
  • Helps extend bucket life and reduce costly rebuilds
  • Reduces wear damage to bucket structures and sidewalls
  • Robust design suited to hard rock mining conditions
  • Easy replacement during scheduled maintenance shutdowns
  • Proven performance in underground mining operations

Applications

  • Underground mining loaders
  • Hard rock mining buckets
  • Rebuild and refurbishment projects
  • OEM and aftermarket bucket protection systems

Product Information: Skopit Heel Shroud, Part Number SKO-1140, approximate weight 28 kg.

Installation note: Correct installation and welding procedures are important for wear life and structural integrity. Contact Skopit for the recommended welding procedure.

Custom Mining Wear Kits

Custom Cutting Edges & Wear Bar Kits

Skopit manufactures custom bucket lips, cutting edges and 50 mm QT450 bolt-on wear bars to suit underground and surface mining applications.

Supplied as complete kits to client specifications, these systems are designed to improve bucket protection while significantly reducing maintenance downtime.

The bolt-on wear bar system helps eliminate the need for extensive gouging and welding during replacement, allowing maintenance crews to change wear components faster and safer during shutdowns.

Key Benefits

  • Manufactured from heavy-duty 50 mm QT450 wear plate
  • Custom-built to suit client bucket specifications
  • Supplied as complete bucket lip and wear bar kits
  • Bolt-on system can dramatically reduce replacement downtime
  • Up to 75% reduction in wear bar replacement time compared to traditional weld-on systems
  • Helps reduce excessive gouging and hot works during changeout
  • Precision-cut and drilled for reliable fit-up and installation

Applications

  • Underground loader buckets
  • Mining excavator buckets
  • Loader rebuilds and refurbishments
  • Hard rock mining operations
  • OEM and aftermarket bucket protection systems

Reduced Downtime: Traditional weld-on wear bars often require gouging, grinding, preparation and multiple welding passes. Skopit bolt-on systems allow worn components to be removed and replaced more efficiently, helping return equipment to service faster during maintenance shutdowns.

Mining Equipment Protection

Reinforced Standard & Travelling Centraliser

Skopit’s reinforced standard and travelling centraliser is designed for underground mining equipment where durability, structural support and reduced maintenance downtime are critical.

Working closely with underground maintenance crews, Skopit modified the design to improve strength around known stress and wear points. The centraliser is designed to last a minimum of 18 months on the main frame, with maintenance typically limited to replacing worn weld-on clamps, threaded clamps, or addressing minor cracks.

The reinforced design helps reduce repair frequency, minimise downtime and support longer service life in demanding underground mining conditions.

Key Benefits

  • Additional side plates wrap around the shoulders to improve structural integrity
  • Helps prevent the centraliser from bending forward or backward under stress
  • Reinforced bottom plate wraps securely around the base
  • Helps prevent stainless-steel slides from peeling off
  • Extra slotted hole on the attachment plate provides a practical repair option if the boom cracks around the bolt hole
  • Horizontal base plate offers a solid welding surface for future weld-on C clamps
  • Extended side plates provide better support for mounting plates
  • Three-run fillet weld around the base helps prevent cracking
  • Extended base plate allows for a brace to help stop bending or cracking at the base

Applications

  • Underground mining jumbo equipment
  • Travelling centraliser assemblies
  • Centraliser rebuilds and refurbishments
  • Boom repair and reinforcement projects
  • Underground maintenance and shutdown works
  • High-wear equipment support components

Design Note: Fits most Jumbos. OEM number 55040612 SANDVIK.

Skopit fabricates and welds to all relevant Australian standards, with parts and products inspected during and after manufacturing.

Additional side plates

Additional side plates wrap around the shoulders to provide structural integrity and help stop the centraliser bending forward or backward under stress.

Reinforced bottom plate

The reinforced bottom plate wraps securely around the base, helping prevent stainless-steel slides from peeling off.

Extra slotted attachment hole

An extra slotted hole on the attachment plate provides a practical repair option if the boom cracks around the bolt hole. The boom can be drilled and the feature used to extend operational life while awaiting replacement.

Weld-on C clamp surface

The horizontal base plate provides a solid welding surface for future weld-on C clamps, which may need to be replaced over the life of the centraliser due to fatigue or wear.

Extended side plates

Side plates extend out to better support the mounting plates.

Three-run fillet weld

A three-run fillet weld around the base helps prevent cracking.

Extended base plate

The extended base plate accommodates a brace, helping reduce the risk of bending or cracking at the base.
