Re: Accessing Bogies
I do not know of your configuation
Usually, bogey maintenance is considered in the design
U should have a jack point somewhere on it. Be careful of pendulum legs and brgs with these..do not want unstable jacking and supports.
Look at the foundation load drawing to get your loads > hence, jack capacity.
Another trick is to drive the machine up on wedges placed on the rail..this will lift the machine up and one set of wheels off the rails. This is used when there are 2 wheelsets on the same bogey and they have limit stops on the pivot pin assy. Hence, U need 2 wheels at each bogey set to make this work.

Reclaimer Bogies
re: the configuration: I can pdf the dwg and place it on the net ... would you be kind enough to then have a look?
the maintenance of the bogies is usually considered in the design but these bogies were not the original Krupp reclaimer bogies but some old Bravo's.

Your Reclaimer Bogie Replacement
hi,
I have gone through all the conversation.Normaly all good manufacturers like Metso,L&T,VAI,Krupp provide jack up pads in compenseting beams to lift /jackup upto 10 mm. If the same have been pronided in your M/C then just jam all other wheels to restrict LT. and jack up as minimum as posible (max.10mm) and replace the wheel bogie set.
If your M/C is a bucket wheel on boom slewable type then lower the boom max. towards the bogie wheel side which is to be replaced.
If it is a barrel type jack up the barrel towards the replacing wheel side just that much to free it from the support roller and jam it before replacement of bogie wheel.

Accessing bogies
hi, we have a reclaimer built in 96 but at the time, it was fitted with some old bogies. The maintenance of these bogies has never been performed as the bogies need to be lowered to be removed.
Q. what is the best way to achieve this. anyone who has experience with this technique?
I was thinking to jack up the reclaimer by designing a special lifting beam (and setting up foundation for jacks to lift beam into position)
The reclaimer is a statically determined 3 support, 11 m wide, 26 m length
