Mixer trucks are the backbone of construction and concrete industries, ensuring efficient transportation of materials. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your mixer truck but also enhances safety and operational efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs and downtime, impacting your bottom line.
Performing daily checks is the first step in preventing major issues. Here’s a quick checklist:
Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear on moving parts. Follow these best practices:
For engine care, regular oil changes and filter replacements are critical. Follow the manufacturer’s schedule, typically every 250-500 hours of operation.
Different seasons present unique challenges for mixer trucks:
In cold climates, use winter-grade fluids and check the battery regularly. Ensure the heating system for the drum is functional to prevent concrete freezing.
High temperatures can stress cooling systems. Check radiator hoses and coolant levels frequently. Consider using summer-grade oils for better performance.
