Abstract: Some truck equipment manufacturers now offer a Major Overhaul Program to the users of digger derrick trucks. This program involves a complete tear down of the existing equipment and body the rebuilding and remounting of the unit on a new truck chassis. This is followed by complete testing and finish work. The results produce a digger derrick truck in mint condition, under warranty, at a considerable savings when compared to a new unit. The purpose of this paper is to outline the reasons for, procedures and final results of the digger derrick truck Major Overhaul Program. The reason for the Major Overhaul Program is primarily economic. When this program is properly administered, it provides users with a digger derrick truck in mint condition on a new chassis with an additional life expectancy of 9 to 12 years. During the Major Overhaul Program, the old unit is completely disassembled, all the structural components are checked the worn parts replaced and the hydraulic components rebuilt. The unit is then reassembled and mounted on a new truck chassis. The equipment is completely tested to the manufacturers current specifications. The final result is a digger derrick truck with a new faaory warranty and a considerable savings to the user when compared with a new unit.
