Externally, the 10 year old gearbox and motor looked in good condition with no signs of damage to the housing or spindle. Upon arrival, the Fairfield Torque Hub gearbox and hydraulic motor assembly was inspected for any signs of external wear or damage. The customer had already dismantled the gearbox and motor from the machine and were therefore able to organise the shipment of the part to our facility immediately in order to avoid further down time of the vehicle. The platform was completely out of use as the swing drive was no longer functional. This particular access platform rental company contacted us to ask whether we can provide support in getting this articulated boom lift back up and running. As the certified distributor and repair centre for Fairfield Torque Hub we often receive requests from end users to inspect, service and repair drives from this type of equipment.Ī recent project undertaken was for a swing drive assembly (Genie ref:88921) from an old Genie Z-80/60 Diesel driven, articulated boom lift.
