X-Lifter

Engineered for unmatched strength and precision, the X-Lifter redefines mining shovel maintenance with a colossal lifting capacity exceeding 1,300 tons. Designed to lift or split the industry’s largest shovels, its 90-inch stroke effortlessly separates the upper and lower sections, providing access to pin and bushing and ample clearance for carbody extraction. When lifting an entire shovel, the system’s elevation facilitates easy access to the side frames, rollers and tracks streamlining maintenance and repairs.

The X-Lifter is built with redundant cylinders in all main jacks, each equipped with hydraulic counterbalance valves to ensure unwavering stability. Its robust safety design allows for continued operation even in the rare event of a cylinder failure—maintaining the shovel’s uplifted position without risk of collapse. This ensures maximum reliability in the harshest mining environments.

For hydraulic shovels, the X-Lifter features a unique three-foot design, ensuring effortless attachment to the shovel. This innovation significantly reduces workforce and maintenance costs while providing improved access to the shovel’s critical components, optimizing efficiency and productivity.

Numerous other innovations, including a weld-free saddle that enables lifting an entire shovel with its boom in place, make the X-Lifter the most comprehensive solution in the industry. Designed with efficiency in mind, it continues to reduce workforce requirements for shovel maintenance, optimizing operations and minimizing downtime.

The X-Lifter is fully equipped with a wide range of adapters designed for the industry’s leading shovels. These include front attachments, weld lugs, under-boom saddles, shimming blocks, and crane mat cradles, ensuring seamless compatibility across various models. Being ready for any job, the X-Lifter eliminates unnecessary downtime, maximizing efficiency and productivity in demanding mining operations.
