What causes hydraulic failures in machinery?
Hydraulic failures can result from leaking seals, damaged hoses, contaminated fluid, or worn pumps. These faults reduce system pressure and efficiency. Routine fluid checks and filter replacements help maintain system integrity and prevent major failures during operation.
How often should heavy machinery be serviced?
Service intervals depend on usage, operating hours, and manufacturer guidelines. Most machines should be inspected every 250 to 500 hours of use. Regular maintenance includes oil changes, filter replacements, system inspections, and minor adjustments to ensure long-term reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Can you fix my excavator if it’s losing hydraulic pressure?
Yes. Hydraulic faults are a common issue. A technician can inspect the system, replace worn seals or hoses, and pressure-test components to restore safe operation. Prompt repair helps prevent further damage and keeps your excavator working reliably on site.
