Line Boring Services
for mobile mining equipment.
When worn bores throw heavy equipment out of alignment, the flow-on effects are hard to ignore. More vibration. More wear. More downtime. More pressure on the job.
EMS provides mobile line boring services for mining equipment across Australia, restoring worn bores on-site to OEM specifications without the delay of sending major components to a workshop.
Our trade-certified technicians work in demanding mine site environments, delivering precise bore machining, clear communication and fast mobilisation when equipment performance is on the line.
Whether it is an urgent repair, a shutdown scope or planned maintenance, EMS brings the right people, the right equipment and a clear plan to keep operations moving.
Get line boring support on-site.
On-site line boring that gets equipment moving again
EMS specialises in mobile line boring for heavy mining equipment, helping site teams restore alignment, structural integrity and safe operation without unnecessary strip-downs or transport delays.
We commonly perform line boring repairs on:
- Excavator booms, arms and stick pivots
- Loader bucket pivots and linkage points
- Dozer blade mounts and frame joints
- Dump truck suspension components
- Articulated machine pivots and chassis joints
By machining worn bores directly on-site, we reduce component replacement where possible and return equipment to service faster.
Our teams support breakdown repairs, shutdowns and scheduled maintenance programs across mine sites and heavy industrial operations.
Precision where it counts
Line boring is not a job for rough guesses. Even minor misalignment can lead to uneven wear, pin movement, structural stress and repeat failure.
EMS technicians restore damaged bores to OEM factory tolerances, helping maintain correct pin alignment, smooth articulation and long-term equipment reliability.
Our line boring capability includes:
- Precision bore machining and alignment
- Bore resizing and restoration
- Welding and bore build-up repairs
- Replacement bush installation
Structural pivot repairs
Every repair is completed with close attention to safety, quality and site compliance because getting it done fast means very little if it is not done properly.
When critical equipment goes down, waiting on workshop schedules or replacement components can drag out downtime fast.
EMS brings the machining capability to site. Our technicians arrive with specialised tooling, mine-spec vehicles and the experience to assess the problem properly and get to work quickly.
That means fewer delays, less disruption and a clearer path back to service without removing large structures or transporting machinery off-site.
Our mobile line boring service supports:
- Emergency breakdown repairs
- Shutdown maintenance programs
- Multi-machine field service support
- Planned component restoration
We take downtime seriously. Site teams get practical updates, responsive service and skilled people who know how to work safely in live operating environments.
Faster repairs, less downtime, less runaround
Preventative line boring before wear becomes a bigger problem
Line boring is not only for reactive repairs. It also plays a valuable role in preventative maintenance for high-wear mining equipment.
Regular inspection of bores, pins and pivot assemblies can help identify wear early before it turns into cracking, misalignment or broader structural damage.
Early intervention helps prevent:
- Misalignment of critical components
- Structural stress and cracking
- Accelerated wear across pivot assemblies
- Unexpected equipment downtime
EMS supports proactive maintenance programs with practical field assessment and on-site bore restoration where required, helping operations extend asset life and avoid bigger repair scopes later.

Speed and responsiveness
Rapid mobilisation and flexible deployment to meet urgent site demands without the usual runaround.
Line boring services across Australian mine sites
EMS delivers mobile line boring services across Metro Perth, the Pilbara, the Goldfields and the Northern Territory, with the ability to mobilise nationally for the right project.
Our teams support Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors, mine operators and maintenance crews with dependable on-site machining and repair services in remote and high-pressure environments.
From short-notice breakdown response to planned shutdown support, EMS provides mining line boring services that match the pace and pressure of site operations.
Need line boring support on-site?
Worn pivot points and damaged bores do not stay small for long. When alignment starts drifting, equipment performance, safety and uptime all take the hit.
EMS provides dependable line boring services for mining equipment, with skilled technicians and specialist equipment ready to mobilise to site.
Frequently asked questions
What is line boring used for in mining equipment?
Line boring restores worn or damaged bores in heavy equipment pivot points and structural joints. It helps maintain correct alignment, reduce wear and keep machinery operating safely.
Can line boring be performed on-site?
Yes. EMS provides mobile line boring services, allowing repairs to be completed on-site without removing major components or sending equipment to a workshop.
What equipment can be repaired using line boring?
Line boring is commonly used on excavators, loaders, dozers, dump trucks and other heavy mining equipment with high-wear pivot assemblies.
Does EMS provide welding and bore build-up repairs?
Yes. Where required, EMS can complete weld build-up and restoration works before machining bores back to specification.
How quickly can EMS mobilise a line boring team?
Mobilisation depends on site location and scope, but EMS maintains a FIFO-ready workforce capable of responding quickly to urgent operational requirements.
Which areas does EMS service?
EMS supports mine sites across Metro Perth, the Pilbara, the Goldfields and the Northern Territory, with national mobilisation available depending on project needs.
