June 2024 Heavy equipment is built to take a beating, right? It should stand up to tough conditions and whatever gets thrown at it. It’s robust, sure. But it still needs to be operated responsibly, with regular inspections and maintenance to maximise uptime.

For example, corrosion from lack of oil or overheating due to lack of coolant will quickly lead to problems. October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 June 2022 Boosting Efficiency May 2022 Well-maintained equipment operates more efficiently, which lowers fuel consumption and improves overall productivity on site. March 2022 February 2022 Prolonging Lifespan January 2022 Routine maintenance extends the lifespan of machinery, ensuring a better return on investment by keeping equipment in optimal condition for longer periods. When it comes to compaction rollers, the little things make a big difference. Skipping a daily check, neglecting a 250-hour service, or even improper operation can set off a chain reaction of wear and tear. On the flip side, a well-maintained roller can easily outlive its neglected counterpart, lasting twice as long and saving you a bundle in the long run.

Of course, equipment maintenance is meant to be proactive and preventative. So, any upkeep should be routine rather than reactive. But if you do spot any of the following signs, it’s definitely time to take action. Unusual Noises Strange sounds such as grinding or knocking are often a sign of mechanical issues that require attention. It’s not always easy to pick out these noises among the general humming and clanking of an active site, but experienced operators should be able to notice when something doesn’t sound right. Decreased Performance Any drop in performance or efficiency of your equipment, such as slower operation or reduced power, may indicate underlying problems. Fluid leaks The presence of oil, hydraulic, or coolant leaks is a clear indicator of equipment issues that need to be addressed immediately. Excessive Smoke Where there’s smoke — well, there’s probably a glaring equipment fault that needs urgent attention. Increased exhaust smoke can be a sign of engine problems or fuel system issues. Warning Lights We’ve all ignored the occasional warning light on our car dashboard. With heavy equipment, the stakes are a little higher. Ignoring dashboard warning lights can lead to significant mechanical failures. By recognising these signs early, operators can prevent minor issues from turning into costly repairs or prolonged downtime. Does your compaction equipment need a tune-up? Book a service.
