Mission-Critical Asset Protection

Safeguard your equipment from the inside out

Off-highway, heavy duty construction equipment is constantly exposed to tough operating environments, unpredictable conditions and extreme temperatures. Yet, these assets are still expected to perform at optimum levels to complete the job.

Constant wear and tear from operating in these conditions often leads to unseen contamination and extreme wear resulting in unpredictable failures and maintenance problems you can’t afford to have.

What if you could identify issues from inside before failure-causing problems occur?

Common Contamination Culprits

When it comes to construction, off-highway and heavy-duty machinery, the most common cause of engine problems is contamination. Between the engine, fuel, cooling systems and operating environments, dirt, soot, fuel and coolant can be the contamination culprits causing issues.

You can identify contamination concerns by participating in oil testing and analysis. By analyzing the engine oil circulating through your system, wear and contamination can be caught early, preventing unexpected downtime.

POLARIS Laboratories^® Basic Engine Oil Test Package

This test package monitors both the unit and fluid for signs of wear and contamination and includes these lab tests:

24 Metals by ICP
Viscosity @ 100 ºC
% Fuel Dilution
% Soot
% Water

Equipment Life Cycle: A Look at Complete Fluid Testing

Take your preventive maintenance one step further and explore more testing options to create a complete picture of what’s happening inside. Testing bulk diesel fuel or the coolant used in the engine’s cooling system can give more insights into how fluids and components work together.

Integrate Analysis Results with Your CMMS

Bring your maintenance efforts full circle and connect your fluid analysis test results, equipment data and manage sample submission right inside your CMMS system. Through a secure API connection, HORIZON^® seamlessly syncs to your maintenance management system so you can manage your fluid analysis in one place.
