To Whom it May Concern, Beijing Kefield Co., LTD is looking for manufacturers of dipper door snubbers and/or closure assemblies on electric shovels. Our clients in the mining industry in China have reported significant wear and tear on their shovel dippers due to the latch mechanism on dipper doors. Some of them have seen hydraulic snubbers on dippers as a solution to this problem in foreign mines. If you and your company engage in the manufacturing of such hydraulic door snubber systems or other closure mechanisms on electric shovels which may reduce tear and wear on the dipper, please contact us by e-mail at [email protected] . If you know of a manufacturer who has supplied others with parts like the P&H SnubRite, please feel free to let us know also. Much appreciated! Thank you very much!

I know ESCO has recently come out with a new dipper bucket that has addressed this and some other wear issues. Test results that Ive seen have been great. Let me know if you need contact info.
Hi blitz138, Thank you for your reply and input. I left my info on their website. Your suggestion is greatly appreciated. Best, Han
If anyone knows of any bucket replacement options, please let us know also. Ideally the substitute buckets have resolved this wear and tear issue by adding some hydraulic components to the bucket. Thank you very much. BEIJING KEFIELD CO.,LTD Tel:+86-10-8722 0567 http://www.kefield.com
Do you always find these type of replacement parts hard to source?
So far in China we have not found any hydraulic buckets that fit onto electric rope shovels. If you know of any sources, please let us know. My e-mail is [email protected] Thank you Joe. Best regards, Beijing Kefield Co., LTD
Hi mate, have you tried our site? There's a pretty decent parts section - and all of our stuff is linked into China - our chinese web address is http://www.taoji168.com/- and you can see all of our US machinery on there aswell (it's a translated version of machineryzone.com with worldwide machinery on it. If you don't find anything, you can post want ads on there too to tell people you are looking for one - i'm pretty sure you can do 1 or more sale/want ads for free. Let me know how it goes for you anyway - if you cannot get a free trial i'll see if I can get you hooked up with one
