Heavy-duty off-highway equipment is exposed to harsh environments, extreme temperatures and is still expected to perform at high levels and get the job done.
These harsh operating environments can cause unforeseen contamination and wear within the system which can then lead to potential operating problems and unplanned maintenance.
What’s Killing Your Engine?
When it comes to the main causes of engine problems, contamination is number 1. Contamination can come from many sources including internal between engine, fuel and cooling systems and outside environmental sources such as dirt and soot.
Monitor Conditions to Extend Equipment Life
Looking at today’s challenges with shortages with both lubricant and equipment, there is no better time than now to look at solutions to identify problems sooner to make your equipment last longer.
Off-highway construction equipment is costly and that means repairs and replacement are costly, too. The key to avoiding expensive replacements and unplanned downtime and, ultimately, extending the life of your equipment is monitoring the conditions inside the system.
Oil analysis is the best way to monitor conditions, extend your oil drains and keep any eye on system conditions so you don’t have to prepare to replace an entire unit.
Take it a Step Further with Your Data
If you’re looking to take your maintenance a step further and simplify how to monitor conditions, POLARIS Laboratories® offers a data integration solution called DataConnect. With this feature, fluid analysis sample data is synched with your maintenance management system. This means you can see your sample results along with other maintenance data points, making it easier to keep your eye on equipment conditions.
