In winter, cold and frost can affect the performance of your machine, especially if the machine is not properly prepared. Preventing major defects, downtime and emergency repairs through timely maintenance not only saves money, but also increases productivity. Check out these tips via the button below.
Regular maintenance, such as checking oil and coolant levels, replacing filters and inspecting hydraulic systems, will keep the machine in top condition. It is a good idea to schedule an (extra) maintenance service towards the winter. A well-maintained machine can perform its daily tasks better without unexpected downtime.
Starting problems are a common problem in the winter. Low temperatures can reduce battery capacity and thicken oil, making it difficult to start the engine. By performing regular maintenance and checking and replacing the battery and oil in time, the risk of starting problems in the cold months can be significantly reduced.
Winter can also cause extra wear and corrosion due to the combination of moisture, salt and cold temperatures. In addition to regular maintenance, it is also important to protect and clean the metal parts of the machine. This helps to prevent corrosion. Lubricating moving parts in time and replacing worn parts contribute to a well-running machine, all year round!
In winter conditions, on slippery surfaces and with limited visibility, it is even more important that the machines are reliable. Make sure that all lights are working properly, the windscreen wipers and brake systems are working properly and the hydraulic functions are running smoothly. This will ensure greater safety for yourself and for the people around you.
Of course, Develon excavators are equipped with options to make work more pleasant during these winter months: climate control, (seat) heating, additional lighting, remote controlled door lock and work lighting, etc. (Ask your dealer for more information)
