Epiroc's Midlife Program

New Machine Performance. Zero Hours. A Fraction of the Cost.

93,000 hours and 1.2 million meters drilled — now rebuilt to OEM performance with hours zeroed and 60 metric tonnes of CO₂e reduced. See how Epiroc's Midlife Program restored this Pit Viper 271 drill rig - the first rebuild of its kind in Canada.

Rebuild Strategy

Rebuild timing and scope define lifecycle performance.

Midlife services are structured around two key decisions: when to rebuild, and how far to go. Apply the right strategy at the right interval to maximize asset recovery.

Optimal Rebuild Intervals

Underground drill rigs

8,000 – 13,000
impact hours
3,000 – 6,000
engine hours

Mine truck

11,000 – 15,000
engine hours

Loaders

10,000 – 15,000
engine hours

Surface drill rigs

15,000 – 18,000
engine hours
6,000 – 8,000
drill hours

Rotary blasthole drill rigs

20,000 – 24,000
engine hours

*Rebuilding within these windows prevents secondary damage accumulation and stabilizes hourly operating costs.
