In 2013, PJL Group was working in their Orange workshop on two mechanical and structural rebuilds in large mining equipment from Mt Isa QLD.

Though the Orange workshop is some way away from Mt Isa, PJL Group were chosen because of the quality delivered, representing by meeting or exceeding equipment availability targets once it is back on the job.

The first machine, a Sandvik LH621 Loader arrived mid-May 2013. This machine was stripped back to bare frames where significant damage was discovered in the front frame, requiring major structural repairs. The actual frame was bent and while this would usually mean replacing part of the frame, PJL Group were able to repair the front frame to original equipment specifications and certified Australian standards, delivering a significant cost benefit to the client
