Oil sampling

 

Oil sampling is an important part of preventative maintenance. Sampling the oil will check for any contaminants such as coolant, dirt and diesel. It will also show if there is an abnormal amount of metal in the oil. Establishing a consistent oil sampling over the life of the machine and understanding the trends will help eliminate complete rebuilds, costly repairs

and downtime. 

Lubricate your heavy equipment frequently and keep it clean

 

Working heavy equipment requires daily maintenance. Some components, especially moving parts in engines and power trains, demand frequent lubrication. Other components, such as hydraulic lifts and bearings, must be monitored and lubricated at the first sign of need.


Contamination can lead to machinery breakdown. Water is a major source of corrosion. Lubrication prevents corrosion. Maintaining seals and replacing filters will help keep lubricants free of contaminants.

Helpful Heavy Equipment Safety Tips.

Fuel up your assets

 

A full tank equipment works better than a half tank or semi tank. The efficiency and the quality of the output become much better with a full tank than with a half-filled tank. Therefore, after the end of a working day, the tank needs to be filled. It also helps the owner to determine the fuel consumption rate of the equipment

Check for signs of wear

 

Vibration, shock, high temperatures, friction and age all contribute to the breakdown of parts in heavy machinery.

  • Vibration can come from gears and belts that are out of alignment

  • Shock can come from accidents and from poor operator technique

  • High temperatures can come from extended use, friction, poor lubrication and worn parts, among other reasons

  • Age affects many key components. Over time, belts will warp. Seals will dry and crack. Bolts will loosen and stretch out of shape. Age is a factor to monitor in equipment

Don’t Overwork Your Machines

 

Never exceed your equipment’s stated performance specifications and limitations as found in your owner/operator manual. As with any industry where heavy equipment is a staple of operation, effectiveness and efficiency are key to optimal performance and yielding the best results for your efforts. Knowing and abiding by weight limits for loads and inclines for transit are an easy way to keep your heavy machinery working.

 

Most modern heavy machines come programmed with multiple power modes. It’s essential for operators to make sure their equipment is set to the correct power mode for the task at hand. Also, minimizing your machinery’s travel and idle time can add longevity to the life of your assets.
