It
costs a lot of money to buy and maintain construction equipment. One
of the areas that sustain the most damage during construction
operations is the undercarriage. Learn more about the advantages of
undercarriage maintenance for bulldozers and excavators in the
following paragraphs. When it’s time for maintenance
services for your heavy construction equipment in Rowland Heights,
CA, or the surrounding areas, contact Diesel Zone Diagnostics.
Undercarriage
Care Advantages
The
cost of undercarriage repairs accounts for around half of all machine
maintenance expenses. Your equipment will need fewer major repairs if
you get routine maintenance. If you ever intend to sell your
equipment, maintaining the undercarriage will greatly boost its worth
and help you stay within your budget. Above all, it will contribute
to ensuring the security of your coworkers and staff. By regularly
inspecting the undercarriage, you can spot faulty components or
leaks.
Tips
for Basic Undercarriage Maintenance
Make
it a practice to run several checks each day. If the equipment was
used that day, start by looking at the undercarriage. Check the
equipment for any damaged or broken pieces, as well as any areas
covered in mud. Double-check the track tension to ensure it is
neither too loose nor too tight. Following the inspection, properly
clean the undercarriage. Remove any dirt, snow, or other debris that
has gathered in the tracks or the undercarriage. This is especially
crucial in the winter since frozen material might lessen the tracks’
effectiveness.
