5 Tips to Make Your Equipment Last Longer
5 TIPS TO
MAKE YOUR
EQUIPMENT
LAST
LONGER
Let’s face it, we all have to start somewhere
and with the money to be made in the world of
heavy equipment it’s no shock people are
flocking to the industry. There is a lot that goes
into keeping your machines running strong day
in and day out. We will go over 5 easy tips to
get the most out of your equipment and lessen
your chances of costly breakdowns.
1. Follow Equipment Maintenance
Schedules
Being lazy is expensive in heavy equipment,
there is no way around it. Machinery takes a
lot of care, prepping, and maintenance. You
have to be on top of this as an owner-operator.
If you are
too busy to handle the routine maintenance, no
worries we can handle it all for you. Just reach
out to us and schedule service!
2. Wash Equipment Regularly
Heat kills equipment, and guess what causes
your equipment to run hot? You guessed it, dirt
and grime. Pressure washing, and specifically hot
washing (utilizing hot water to cut through
excess grease) will make sure your equipment is
running right. Pressure washing equipment is
about the cheapest insurance you can have when
it comes to heavy equipment. We offer fleet
washing services and can handle this for you
anytime, anyplace. We have monthly washing
plans to make sure your equipment is running
top-notch day in and day out.
3. Use High-Quality Parts
This doesn’t always mean you have to use OEM
parts, but make sure when performing repairs
that you use the best quality, and time-tested,
replacement parts out there. When we perform
repairs you can rest assured that we will use
the best parts available to make sure you get
your money’s worth out of any repair we
perform.
4. Avoid Overloading Equipment
We all are guilty of doing it from time to time,
pushing that overloaded blade of dirt, taking
down too much tree for the machine, or trying
to use your skid steer to do things not for a skid
steer.
Machines these days are built well but
overloading is a ticking time bomb.
When you push the machine harder than
it is intended to be used bad things can
and likely will happen. Aside from costly
repairs, you could be putting your
operator in danger as well.
Always refer to your owner’s manual and
salesperson if you are unsure of the
capabilities of your machines. Most of
the onsite repairs we do where things
break are caused by overloading and
misuse.
Be smart, stay within the operating
capacity and your wallet and team will
thank you.
5. Perform Routine
Inspections
This is hands down the easiest way to get
ahead of a problem before it becomes
something that stops the machine in its tracks.
Taking a few minutes each day to go over a
checklist is a must-do.
No, if ands or buts. If you see an issue you can
make a decision on how urgent it is, you can
reach out to us to schedule a repair and
ultimately know the condition of the machine.
If you are just jumping in your machine and
running it each day, it is not if, it’s when you
will be calling us for a massive repair that likely
could have been avoided completely.
Breakdowns on heavy equipment will
happen, but these above tips can help you
minimize that costly breakdown and
maximize your equipment productivity. If you
have any issues with your equipment you
can call us at 512-866-1938
Our crews work around the clock to handle
any and all breakdowns you might have. We

quickly as possible.

money and sets you back.
