Maintaining an amphibious excavator is crucial. Ignoring maintenance is like throwing money away. Here’s why maintenance is important:
- Properly maintained amphibious excavators can work for at least 8-9 years, generating more profit for the owner.
- After maintenance, fuel consumption can be reduced by 15%, efficiency is higher, and there are fewer breakdowns. When selling second-hand equipment, it can fetch 30% more than poorly maintained ones.
How to maintain it? It only takes 15 minutes a day:
- Apply grease to the bearings every 7-10 days.
- When the chain is not in use, apply used hydraulic oil to prevent rust.
- Carefully inspect screws and tighten them with appropriate tools.
- Check for leaks or damage in the oil lines and address any issues promptly.
Though maintenance might seem minor, its impact is significant, affecting the excavator’s lifespan, the owner’s profits, and safety. Owners must pay attention. Proper care will bring more economic returns.
