Routine maintenance of chassis components can extend the service life of excavators and bulldozers

Most engineering equipment failures stem from wear and tear of chassis components. Proper routine maintenance can not only reduce downtime due to failures but also significantly lower the cost of component replacement. Liu Tui Machinery has compiled a practical maintenance guide for chassis components of excavators and bulldozers, which is simple and easy to follow and suitable for various construction conditions.

Regularly clean sediment and debris: After operation, promptly clean the soil and debris from the gaps between the track, support rollers, and guide wheels to avoid wear and derailment caused by hard objects getting stuck. Especially in muddy or mining conditions, the frequency of cleaning should be increased.

Check sealing and lubrication: Regularly inspect the track roller and carrier roller oil seals for any oil leaks. Regularly apply lubricating oil to the tension spring and connecting rod areas to prevent dry wear, rust, and jamming.

Control the tightness of the track: If the track is too loose, it is prone to derailment; if it is too tight, it will accelerate the wear of the traveling components. Adjust the tension cylinder in real-time according to the working ground to maintain the standard tightness.

Replace aging parts in a timely manner: If the drive gear is severely worn, the track shoes are cracked, or the clearance between the bucket shaft sleeves is too large, promptly replace them with original factory-grade compatible parts to avoid minor faults causing damage to the entire machine.

LiuTui Machinery reminds you: Choosing high-quality compatible accessories and practicing scientific daily maintenance can extend the service life of equipment chassis accessories by more than 30%. We have a sufficient stock of all types of chassis wear parts in various models, ready to meet the urgent needs of equipment maintenance and replacement.
