Maintaining Your Heavy Equipment Parts

Your heavy equipment works as hard as you do to ensure that your tasks are completed, whether you use it for construction, landscaping, or farming. However, these big machines tend to have many moving parts, which require your attention to ensure that they remain functional. A piece of heavy equipment with poorly-maintained parts is liable to break down on you, which not only wastes your time and money, but could be really dangerous. Here’s how to maintain the parts on your piece of heavy equipment.

Perform Regular Inspections

Looking over your piece of equipment from top to bottom can help you spot problems with the various parts on your machine before they can do damage. It’s better that you or a worker find a problem during an inspection, rather than encountering it while the machine is actively being used. You’ll need to inspect both the machine itself and any attachments you use with it. Take your time with the inspection and focus on safety. Never use a machine that needs a part replaced or repaired.

Watch For Leaks

Leaking fluids are a common sign of damage. Fluids might pool under your machine or you might notice fluid build-up on the piece of heavy equipment. Address leaks promptly so that your machine has the fluids it needs to work properly.
