Conquering the World's Harshest Job Sites
Standard slewing drives fail within 6 months in offshore oil rigs or mining sites. Extreme-environment solutions require:

Specialized Engineering

  • Corrosion Defense:

    • HVOF-sprayed WC-Co coatings (Salt spray resistance >1,000 hrs)

    • Stainless steel fasteners (A4-80 grade)

  • Particle Ingression Protection:

    • Triple-lip seals with purge ports

    • IP69K-rated housings

  • Temperature Resilience:

    • -60°C to +120°C synthetic greases

    • Thermally compensated gear meshing

Case Study:
BP’s North Sea platforms use modified JLG 600S boom lifts with:

  • Zinc-nickel plated slewing drives

  • Pressurized nitrogen cavity purge

  • 83% reduction in drive replacements
