Mining Service Vehicles HVAC for Open-Cast Mining Fleets
Fuel and lube trucks, water carts, graders, tyre handlers, light vehicles
Continuous pit and haul-road travel supporting production fleets. Mixed OEM systems with mismatched aftermarket components. Standardising refrigerant type and parts across the support fleet cuts downtime sharply.
Dominant failure modes
Mixed and mismatched aftermarket retrofit components
Chronic slow leaks at crimped hose fittings
Undersized systems for Limpopo ambient conditions
Cabin filter neglect on high-utilisation light vehicles

A system that has lost even 15% of its condenser capacity cannot bridge a 20°C gap. That is why fouled cores and marginal charge levels present as complete cooling failure on a Lephalale bench, and why we verify every repair with a measured delta-T under load rather than a gauge reading at idle.
