By applying the correct technique, a solid basis is laid for safe structures. Each project requires a different foundation technique. Vroom Funderingstechnieken has mastered this specialism in detail. Thanks to this specialism, combined with over 60 years of experience, Vroom is often called in for complex projects.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lifespan extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vroom.nl\/nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vroom Funderingstechnieken<\/a> strives for the most technical, sustainable, and economical solution for their customers. This also includes the maintenance of the equipment. In recent years, there has been significant investment in the machinery, including the foundation machines. These machines are known to be very reliable and have a long service life. The Hitachi CX1100 GLS was scheduled to be re-motorized to Stage V. When it turned out that this foundation machine also needed a major repair, the choice for an overhaul was quickly made. An overhaul is very sustainable, as the machine is reused and can be used for years without any problems. Also, after the overhaul, the machine is equipped with the latest technology, it is more cost-efficient than purchasing a new machine, and it meets the latest (emission) requirements again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped splide wpcom-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><button

project where Vroom chose to have it carried out by us. In total, the overhaul took more than a year, during which the entire machine was disassembled and each part was checked, assessed, and replaced where necessary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Base machine (upper structure):<br\/><\/strong>Completely stripped, blasted, and painted, cabin refurbished, sheet metal renewed where necessary, electrical wiring and joysticks renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Undercarriage:<br\/><\/strong>Travel motors tested and repaired, track rollers renewed, wear plates renewed, sprockets welded and undercarriage preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hydraulic components:<br\/><\/strong>Hoses replaced, pumps, swing drive, swing motor, central passage, and other components checked, re-packed, or overhauled.<br\/><strong><br\/>Winches:<br\/><\/strong>Motors checked, gearboxes checked, and bearings replaced.<br\/><strong><br\/>Cylinders:<br\/><\/strong>All cylinders checked and re-packed, and rods re-chromed and tubes honed where necessary, valves checked or renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A-frame:<br\/><\/strong>Holes welded and bored, disc bearings renewed, and cylinders overhauled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bracket\/sliding table:<br\/><\/strong>Disassembled, checked, repaired, and reassembled, both the mechanical and hydraulic parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leader:<br\/><\/strong>Fully checked, repaired where necessary, and blasted and painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Engine:<br\/><\/strong>Conversion to Stage V carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is a gleaming new machine, ready to be used for years without any problems.
