Crashed some Komatsus

i have some very careless operators who insist on tracking over an open trench. the trench then collapses and does a ton of sheet metal damage to the machines. i have attached a list of parts that are damaged.

does anyone have some good advice on how to make these repairs? where to get the parts?

thanks.

I think the first order of business would be to relieve an operator or two of (what must be), the very stressful job of tearing up your equipment.

I understand that things happen but that list is quite a bit of damage. Mirrors...I can see that you might get one hit now and then, but some of the other stuff, WOW.

Short of going to the dealer and paying a fortune for all those parts, I would check out publications like Rock and Dirt, http://www.rockanddirt.com/
Or Construction Equipment Guide http://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/

And see if you can find some after market parts or someone parting out some old units.

Good luck, and crack the whip on those guys.
