    The document discusses the importance of preventative maintenance for construction equipment. It states that construction equipment represents a major investment, yet proper maintenance can extend the life of equipment and reduce unexpected repair costs. The document outlines two types of maintenance - routine and preventative. Routine maintenance follows scheduled tasks while preventative maintenance looks for potential problems to prevent failures. Performing preventative maintenance improves equipment longevity and availability, lowers expenses from unexpected breakdowns, and builds operator confidence.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN’T BE


    MAINTENANCE: OVERSTATED. EVERYONE’S FAMILIAR WITH A SAYING THAT AN OUNCE
    OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE. BETTER PUT IN THE
    OWNING AND OPERATING CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT IS AN EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION WORLD IS THAT A DOLLAR OF CURE COMES FROM A DIME
    INVESTMENT. EVEN A SMALL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY CAN HAVE OF PREVENTION. HERE ARE THE MAIN REASONS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT
    HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TIED UP IN EQUIPMENT. A TO CONDUCT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT:
    LARGE OPERATION MIGHT HAVE MILLIONS INVESTED IN CONSTRUCTION
    EQUIPMENT. ASIDE FROM THE COST OF PURCHASING AND RUNNING LONGEVITY: PERFORMING ROUTINE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON
    MACHINERY, THERE’S ALSO THE COST OF PERFORMING ROUTINE AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY MAKES THEM LAST
    PREVENTIVE HEAVY EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE. IT’S AN INVESTMENT LONGER. THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO ARGUMENT THAT PROPERLY
    THAT CAN’T BE NEGLECTED. MAINTAINED MACHINES AND VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT PIECES
    HAVE GREATER LONGEVITY THAN POORLY KEPT ONES. REGULARLY
    WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE? SERVICING MACHINES EXTENDS THEIR LIFE, AND THAT EXTENDS THEIR
    FIRST OF ALL, THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY. PREVENTING PROBLEMS ENSURES THAT EQUIPMENT IS
    MAINTENANCE. CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES PRACTICE ROUTINE ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED.
    MAINTENANCE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. THE TWO MAINTENANCE
    TYPES GO HAND-IN-HAND BUT THERE’S A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE. HERE AVAILABILITY: ANY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT THAT SUDDENLY BREAKS
    IS WHAT EACH MAINTENANCE TYPE INVOLVES: DOWN IS UNAVAILABLE FOR SERVICE. THAT MAKES THEM NOT ONLY
    UNPROFITABLE DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY, IT MAKES THEM EXPENSIVE
    ROUTINE MAINTENANCE: THIS TYPE REFERS TO THE REGULAR TO PULL FROM SERVICE AND MAKE UNEXPECTED REPAIRS. OFTEN, THE
    MAINTENANCE THAT ALL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT UNDERGOES ON A EQUIPMENT OPERATOR SITS IDLE WHILE THEIR MACHINE IS NOT
    FIXED SCHEDULE. THE USUAL MAINTENANCE TASKS ARE OIL AND AVAILABLE TO WORK. THAT CAUSES COMPOUNDED EXPENSES IN HUMAN
    FILTER CHANGES AS WELLS AS LUBRICATION, CHECKING FLUID LEVELS AND EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME.
    AND TESTING PRESSURES. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ALSO INCLUDES
    PROCEDURES LAID OUT IN THE MANUFACTURER’S OPERATION EXPENSES: WHEN CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT SUDDENLY FAILS AND
    MANUAL. THAT MIGHT INCLUDE FLUID OR FAILURE ANALYSIS. BREAKS DOWN, IT CAUSES UNPLANNED
    EXPENSES. USUALLY, UNEXPECTED FAILURES ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS
    PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: OUTSIDE OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WORK, THAT AREN’T CHEAP TO REPAIR. POORLY MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT IS
    EQUIPMENT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TAKES A BROADER SCOPE. NOTORIOUS FOR CAUSING COMPOUND FAILURES. THAT’S WHERE ONE
    CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE LOOKS FOR PROBLEM CREATES ANOTHER PROBLEM. COMPOUNDED PROBLEMS ARE
    PROBLEMS IN THE MAKING. THEN MECHANICS OR SERVICE TECHNICIANS EXPENSIVE ISSUES, AND COULD EASILY BE PREVENTED THROUGH
    TAKE STEPS TO STOP OR PREVENT POTENTIAL MACHINE FAILURE. THEY CAREFUL MAINTENANCE. THEY ALSO CREATE POOR CONFIDENCE IN
    TAKE PREVENTIVE ACTION BEFORE SOMETHING GOES SERIOUSLY WRONG. WORKERS.
    CONFIDENCE: TO BE PRODUCTIVE, CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
    HAVE TO BE CONFIDENT IN THEIR MACHINES’ PERFORMANCE. NO
    WORKER LIKES OPERATING POORLY MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT.
