Few wee jobs to round out the year
●Manitou Telehandler handbrake inoperable. Nice simple one there, supplied and fitted some new brake pads and adjusted the caliper to suit. Now the machine holds steady on the steepest incline on the property.
●JCB 8060 loss of all hydraulic functions except tracking. Quickly diagnosed as a faulty coil for the aux spool. Supplied and fitted new coils to both aux spools and got the customer back up and running (no after pics unfortumately)
●Zetor linkage failure, threads wore out and tore from the 3 point linkage lift arms. As the customer doesn't use these for adjustment and parts were weeks out, the most efficient repair method was to simply clean, pre-heat and weld the linkage together in the same position as before.
●Manitou tele with a failed inner track rod, wear in the joints had acted as a slide hammer and damaged the threads causing it to rip out of the steer ram. Steer ram threads chased, new track rod assembly supplied and fitted. Customer back up and going as soon as possible!
Lastly working with a new piece of kit, a CNC laser for mass production of gaskets and prototyping of components/brackets/plates before fabrication, allowing cheap and quick in house design/testing of solutions before more costly fabrication begins.
That's another year done here at CP&S. Thanks to all our customers and suppliers both old and new for your custom and keeping us busy throughout the year. Look forward to working with you all again in 2026.
