Rebuild it to Zero Hour. Don't replace it.

When a CAT underground machine is standing, or an OEM replacement quote and lead time do not stack up, VRM Mining rebuilds it to OEM Zero Hour standard - dyno-certified engines, component rebuilds, and on-site capability, warrantied and back in production.

We don't patch machines. We restore them.

Engineering discipline, not quick fixes. Every rebuild is delivered to OEM standard with test certification, and root cause failure analysis prevents repeat failures and extends machine life.

OEM Zero Hour Rebuilds

Complete machine rebuilds to OEM standard. When a machine leaves our workshop, it performs as new.

Engine Rebuild & Dyno Testing

Full engine rebuilds with dyno-certified performance reports. Every engine is tested and certified before return to service.

Component Expertise

Hydraulics, transmissions, axles, and final drives rebuilt to OEM specification with test certificates.

On-Site Capability

Skilled artisan teams integrated into daily mine operations. We work where the machines work.

Precision Machining

On-site line boring to restore critical tolerances and extend equipment life without removal.

Fabrication & Boilermaking

Full boilermaking capability delivered both on-site and in our Middelburg workshop.

Root Cause Failure Analysis

We identify why components fail, not just what failed. Comprehensive failure analysis prevents repeat failures.

Condition Monitoring

Integrated vibration and heat sensor monitoring. Predictive maintenance that prevents failures before they happen.

Why rebuild instead of replace?

A new underground machine is a capital decision with a long lead time. A rebuild to OEM Zero Hour standard puts your existing asset back into production as-new - certified, warrantied, and at a fraction of the cost.

A fraction of replacement cost

A rebuild to OEM Zero Hour standard returns as-new performance and life without the capital cost of a new machine.

Weeks, not months

New underground machines carry long lead times. A planned rebuild returns your existing asset to production far faster.

Certified, not patched

Every engine is dyno-certified and every assembly bench-tested before return - the rebuild carries measured proof, not a promise.

Warrantied like new

A 2000-hour warranty on applicable components means a rebuild carries the same confidence as a replacement.

What mines ask us most

Our primary focus is CAT underground Trackless Mining Machines - the AD30, R1700, R1600 and the full CAT underground range. We also rebuild Sandvik, Epiroc, Komatsu, and GHH machines and general heavy diesel machinery.
