Hello Jack,
You’re right about regular maintenance being critical to extend the lifespan of your used excavators. Here are some effective practices:
- Regularly inspect the excavators for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Pay special attention to the undercarriage, hydraulic systems, and attachments.
- Change the oil and filters as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Clean or replace air filters regularly and ensure all fluid levels are topped up.
- Lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and prevent premature wear. This includes the undercarriage, boom, and bucket.
- Keep the excavator clean. Dirt and debris can lead to corrosion and damage components over time.
- Regularly check and adjust the track tension. Loose tracks can lead to unnecessary wear, while over-tightened tracks can cause power loss.
- Train operators to use the machine correctly. Misuse can cause unnecessary strain on the machine, leading to breakdowns.
Remember, preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than reactive repairs. Keep a close eye on your machine and address any issues before they become major problems.
