Solid review
Unlike daily machine maintenance, the one included in the title of this guide is much more advanced.
It should always be entrusted to a specialized service, which has access not only to components but also to professional knowledge backed by experience and trained staff.
Regularly subjecting the machine to periodic inspections guarantees that it will work flawlessly and will not surprise us with a breakdown at the least expected moment.
Simple, but very important maintenance tasks
The absolute basis in the periodic maintenance of construction machinery is the replacement of filters and oils. Attention should also be paid to elements requiring regular lubrication, and if necessary, when their condition prevents further operation, simply replace them.
All information about the solutions recommended by the manufacturer (including oil classes) can be found in the machine's operating instructions. If we don't have it, we can safely rely on the professionalism of a professional service.
Periodic machine maintenance is necessary to detect any faults in time, remove emerging damage and replace key machine mechanisms, such as:
- pins
- hoses,
- bushings or undercarriage elements.
Remember that all work must be carried out on a stationary machine - it's a matter of safety.
What tasks make up the periodic maintenance of the machine?
When commissioning a periodic review, we must require the service to approach it comprehensively.
At the beginning, professionals should partially disassemble the machine to gain free access to the most important components, and only then does the actual review stage begin.
The clearances on supports and the boom are eliminated, lubrication and cooling systems are cleaned and washed, and additionally oils and filters are replaced. The specialist reviews bearings, clutches, gear transmissions, drive chains, electrical installation, measures clearances in the machine and checks the operation of measuring and control devices.
If necessary, at this stage, worn parts should be replaced and any emerging faults repaired.
Finally, the service performs all the tasks that are part of the daily maintenance of the machine, including thoroughly washing it.
Final tips
Let's remember not to be tempted to entrust the periodic maintenance of the machine to operators or construction workers, even if they have any idea about it. It's also better to give up using low-quality spare parts, which do not guarantee trouble-free operation and can expose us to unnecessary costs.
The best solution will always be to entrust the machine to a specialized service, which has an appropriate diagnostic station. It's simply an investment in safe and reliable use of equipment by our employees.
