At Foothills, we have been busy re-developing our alloys and manufacturing processes to bring you a range of manganese or alloy steel electric rope shovel crowd racking that exceeds OEM production specifications.
Are you experiencing premature, irregular or inconsistent wear on your racking? Are teeth breaking out or do you have cracked sections on your welded joints? Then help is at hand.
Ask us for a comparison quote on your next gear racking order and see if Foothills can increase your wear time and reduce your expenses.

Not only are the alloys unique but the heat treatment process is different too – we use a proprietary quench in both manganese and alloy racking which increases the hardness/toughness of the end product. Add in the capability to machine tooth flanks on the alloy rack, and it gives you a refined product with precise pitch control. Precise pitch and timing result in better pinion engagement, less backlash, and greater wear life.
