Line Boring for Plant Repairs

Heavy plant machinery such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and agricultural equipment is built to endure tough working environments, but over time, wear and tear is unavoidable. Pins, bushes, and bearing housings often suffer from friction and constant heavy loads, leading to elongated or misaligned bores. This not only reduces efficiency but can also compromise safety and lead to expensive breakdowns. At SDA Plant Services, we provide expert line boring services for plant repairs in South West England, helping businesses extend the life of their machinery while keeping operations running smoothly.

What is line boring and why is it important?
Line boring is a precision engineering process that restores worn or damaged bores back to their original specification. When components such as digger arms, loader pivots, or chassis points become oval or oversized due to wear, it causes instability and accelerates further damage to other parts of the machine. Our skilled engineers use advanced equipment to re-machine the bore back to exact tolerances, allowing for the proper fitting of new bushes or bearings. This restores structural integrity, reduces vibration, and ensures your plant machinery continues to perform at its best.
