To extend the life of any vehicle, the following work must be done in time:
First of all anti-corrosion treatments are carried out;
It is necessary to change oil in time;
to check the presence of brake fluid and the brakes themselves;
constantly check the tires; monitor the engine and much more.
Maintenance of special vehicles is a bit more complicated than that of passenger cars. Often the specialty equipment manufacturers themselves offer their customers to do the technical checkups. As a rule, special machines are produced in small batches, and many service companies do not have special equipment and experience working with such vehicles.
Moreover, if a breakdown happens, you still need to contact a special equipment plant, because sometimes you won’t find necessary spare parts and parts anywhere. And it is not safe to use fake parts for heavy and complex machines. Often the special equipment plant is engaged in the manufacture of spare parts for the machines it produces.
Maintenance of special equipment requires certain knowledge from craftsmen, and they must have special tools and equipment at their disposal. Not every service shop has an overpass or an inspection pit for a bulldozer or a concrete mixer or any other similar machines, so if the necessary conditions are not available, special equipment service is unlikely to be at the highest level.
Special Equipment Repair
High loads that accompany the operation of special equipment, make it necessary to have their routine maintenance by highly professional specialists. Repairs of a minor nature can be performed, as a rule, on the premises of the enterprise renting the equipment.
As for repair of more complex etiology (power units, cranes), its implementation takes place in special service centers, equipped with all necessary equipment, which provides a range of work from the simplest level (assembly, disassembly) to the most complex (using special equipment on an individual order).
No exaggeration to say that the importance of timely professional maintenance of special equipment is quite great and is the key to its proper operation.
Maintenance of special equipment includes diagnostics of the degree of efficiency of hydraulic equipment (commonly used in most machinery models), hydraulic cylinders (replacement of the piston gaskets, etc.), hydraulic control valves, repair of jibs and other tower crane mechanisms, overhaul using high-tech equipment, primary visual inspection and regulated testing of power cables.
To all of the above, provides for timely service, including the replacement of process liquids, as well as an analysis of the technical condition of the special equipment.
