What are the most common causes of summer equipment breakdowns?

, , , , , , ,
Contractors Machinery

At Contractor’s Machinery we know that summer is the busiest season for construction, but it’s also the toughest on your heavy duty equipment. Between high temperatures, relentless exposure to the sun and the elements, and increased workload, it’s the perfect storm for machinery breakdowns. Understanding the main causes of summer equipment failures can help you plan to keep your fleet of hard-working equipment working smoothly and avoid expensive repairs and project delays.

Here are the key takeaways from today’s blog that we’ll be covering.

  1. Summer heat puts significant strain on construction equipment.
  2. Overworking machines or ignoring recommended maintenance can quickly result in costly breakdowns and project delays.
  3. Preventative measures are essential to minimize downtime and keep equipment operational during the hottest months.

Thermal Failures: The Heat is On

High ambient temperatures can cause engines and electrical components to overheat, leading to breakdowns and even catastrophic engine damage. Overheating strains cooling systems, including coolant levels and the hoses which carry it, which can fail if not properly maintained.

Electrical components are especially vulnerable to heat, as excess temperatures can cause wiring and connectors to degrade or fail, along with cooling fans running at maximum capacity for hours.

Fluid Degradation: The Hidden Threat

Heat accelerates the breakdown of essential fluids such as engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant. As these fluids degrade, the chemical compounds and additive packages that make up their protective qualities diminish, thereby increasing the risk of accelerated component wear and failure. More frequent fluid checks and changes are necessary in summer, along with regular filter replacements to maintain performance.

Hydraulic System Issues: Under Pressure

Excessive heat can cause hydraulic fluid to thin, altering its viscosity and reducing its effectiveness, which increases the risk of leaks and hose damage. Hydraulic systems under heat stress may suffer from reduced performance or even complete catastrophic failure if not properly monitored.

Cooling System Problems: Keeping It Cool

Coolant systems are the frontline defense against overheating, but they can fail due to leaks, damaged hoses or clogged radiators. The job of coolant is to circulate and pull heat out of an engine, while the radiator’s job is to pull heat out of the coolant before it circulates back into the engine.

One simple way to keep your coolant from boiling is to have the correct pressure cap on your cooling system.

Dust and debris, common on summer job sites, can accumulate on radiators and cooling fans, impeding airflow and causing temperatures to elevate. Regular exterior radiator cleaning and inspection are critical to prevent these issues. Also making sure a coolant’s boiling point is maximized for the summer months with a proper mixture is critical.

Tire and Track Problems: Hot Underfoot

Summer heat and ozone exposure causes tires to wear out faster and crack, both of which increase the risk of blowouts, especially for equipment in constant use. Hot pavement and heavy loads compound these risks, making regular tire inspections and pressure checks essential.

Sun Damage: More Than Skin Deep

Prolonged sun exposure can fade paint, crack plastic, and degrade hoses and seals, leading to premature failure of exterior components. Storing equipment in the shade or under covers when not in use can significantly extend its service life as well as appearance.

Grease Issues: Lubrication Breakdown

Extreme heat can cause grease to thin and “squeeze out” from bearings and joints, reducing lubrication and increasing wear. Regular re-greasing and use of heavy duty heat-resistant lubricants helps maintain protection for moving parts. Synthetics are always a great option for any kind of lubricant.

Overloading: Pushing Limits

Overworking machines by exceeding lifting limitations, redlining engines, or failing to allow proper cool-down periods can quickly lead to overheating and damage to engines, transmissions, cooling systems, and even air conditioning components. Always operate within the manufacturer’s recommended parameters and heed dashboard warnings or alerts. It only takes a short time before you brick an engine, bringing a job to a halt quickly and ruining your day.

Preventing Summer Breakdowns: Best Practices

  • Inspect cooling systems daily: Check fans, hoses, and radiators for debris or damage, and clean regularly.
  • Monitor and maintain fluid levels: Top off coolant, hydraulic fluid, and oil, and change them more frequently in hot weather. Consider synthetics if your budgets allow.
  • Check tires and tracks: Inspect for wear, maintain correct tire pressure, and replace aging or damaged tires as needed.
  • Store equipment out of direct sun: Use shade, tarps, or shelters to protect machines when not in use. Garages are even better.
  • Use A/C systems correctly: Avoid running A/C with windows open, which strains the system and reduces efficiency.
  • Schedule regular maintenance: Preventative care is your best defense against costly summer breakdowns. Most equipment comes with regular or extreme service schedules. Summertime is the extreme service schedule.
  • Worker Education: Ensure your work team is educated about watching for signs that equipment is not functioning correctly and are frequently inspecting the key points of potential problem areas daily. They’re not only your first line of defense, but often the last line in assuring proper equipment operation.

Let’s face it…summer heat is tough on construction equipment, but proactive maintenance and awareness of common failure points can keep your heavy machines running strong and working long all season. By understanding how thermal stress, fluid degradation, and sun exposure affect your fleet, you can take steps to minimize downtime, reduce repair costs, and keep your projects on track. Contractor’s Machinery can help you keep your machines working at maximum capacity for you. Schedule repairs or seasonal maintenance now. Contact us.

Contractors Machinery

Heavy equipment is the backbone of construction operations, but like all machinery, it has a finite lifespan. As we all know, heavy equipment is living longer than ever, but knowing when to make the decision to repair, rebuild, or replace your equipment can be critical for safety, efficiency, and cost management on work sites. But, how do you know which choice is the right one?  

Let’s dig in.

Signs that it’s Time to Replace Heavy Equipment

Recognizing when heavy equipment needs replacing can prevent costly downtime and ensure safety. Common indicators include:

  • Excessive wear and tear: Corrosion, rust, and deterioration are clear signs that machinery is nearing the end of its usability
  • Frequent downtime: If repairs are becoming more frequent and downtime is impacting project schedules, replacement may be necessary
  • Decreased performance: Machinery that is struggling to meet operational demands or showing reduced operational efficiency is a red flag
  • Outdated technology: Older equipment lacking modern features may hinder productivity and safety, and obviously, lack the efficiency of new equipment
    • Also be aware of replacement part obsolescence and rarity, which can delay or limit your choices to repair or rebuild.
  • High repair costs: When repair costs exceed 50% of the replacement cost or the equipment’s value, upgrading becomes the more economical and smart choice
  • Safety concerns: Equipment jeopardizing worker safety due to malfunctions, breakdowns or outdated features should be replaced immediately
    • NEVER gamble with worker safety. Equipment can be replaced; lives can’t

Repair vs. Replacement: Pros and Cons

Deciding between repairing and replacing heavy equipment involves weighing short-term fixes against long-term investments. And of course, your available budget also needs to be factored in.

Pros of Repairing Equipment

  • Cost-effective: Repairs are generally cheaper than replacements in the short term
  • Minimal downtime: Repairs can often be completed quickly, keeping projects on schedule
  • Prolonged lifespan: Regular maintenance can extend the equipment’s usability
  • Preserves familiarity: Operators avoid retraining on new machinery 

Cons of Repairing Equipment

  • Limited lifespan extension: Repairs only kick the can down the line and delay the inevitable need for replacement
  • Recurring costs: Frequent repairs can add up over time, so always look at the machinery as a whole and not just the area that needs repair
  • Hidden issues: Repairs may uncover deeper problems requiring further fixes

Pros of Replacing Equipment

  • Improved efficiency: New machines often feature advanced technology that boosts productivity
    • Consumable cost efficiency can also be factored into a new equipment purchase, as they can be less thirsty for fuel
  • Lower maintenance costs: Modern equipment requires less frequent servicing when placed into service compared to the longevity of older models experiencing many years of wear and tear
  • Enhanced safety features: Newer models prioritize operator safety with updated designs and systems
  • Warranty coverage: Replacement machines typically come with warranties, reducing future repair expenses

Cons of Replacing Equipment

  • High initial investment: Purchasing new equipment involves significant upfront costs
  • Operational disruptions: Transitioning to new machinery may require downtime for installation and operator training
  • Depreciation: New equipment begins losing value as soon as it’s purchased

What About Rebuilding?

Rebuilding equipment offers a middle ground between repair and replacement. It involves overhauling major components to restore machinery to near-new condition. Benefits include:

  • Extended lifespan without full replacement costs
  • Opportunities to upgrade outdated technology and common wear components ‘while you’re in there’ which can be hard to reach and expensive if done as a stand-alone job
  • Improved performance compared to simple repairs

Making the Decision…Repair, Rebuild, or Replace

  • The decision to repair, rebuild or replace heavy equipment needs to take many factors into consideration, as each have their pros and cons.
  • The choice of which one to go with hinges on budgets, safety, technology and economic common sense.

By proactively addressing these options, construction companies can optimize their operations while keeping safety, efficiency and profitability top of mind.

Keeping Heavy Machinery Operating Efficiently in Winter Months

, , , , , , , , , , , ,
Emily Bieger

As temperatures drop and winter weather approaches, heavy construction equipment works harder. Cold weather can affect machinery performance, reduce efficiency, and increase the risk of breakdowns. At CMI Case, we understand the importance of keeping equipment in top working condition year-round. With that in mind, here are some essential tips to keep your heavy construction equipment operating optimally to keep your projects on track during the colder months.

Inspect and Maintain Your Equipment

Regular equipment inspections are key to preventing costly repairs and untimely breakdowns. Check for leaks, wear and damage, especially in hydraulic systems, electrical components, engines and cooling systems. Maintain proper tire pressures and look for cracks or excessive wear on tracks and tires, particularly for excavators and skid steers. These simple steps can save you time and suffering out in the cold of winter.

Switch to Winter Grade Fluids

Cold temperatures cause fluids to thicken and flow more slowly, reducing machinery efficiency and performance. To combat this, it’s essential to switch to winter-grade engine oil, hydraulic fluids and fuel additives, which help prevent diesel fuel from gelling. Diesel engines are particularly vulnerable to cold weather, as water in the fuel system can freeze and cause clogs or damage. To avoid these issues, regularly drain water separators, use anti-gel additives or winter diesel, and keep fuel tanks full to minimize condensation buildup. By taking these steps, you can ensure your equipment operates smoothly and reliably throughout the winter months.

Battery Care

Batteries often lose efficiency in cold temperatures, making it harder to start your equipment and increasing the risk of other electrical related issues. There’s an old saying that batteries get killed in the summer (due to heat) and die in the winter (due to increased load demands they can no longer maintain). To keep your batteries in peak condition during winter, start by cleaning and tightening connections to ensure proper voltage flow. Regularly test the battery charge and replace any weak or failing batteries before they become a problem and leave you stranded. For equipment stored outdoors, consider using battery heaters or maintainers to keep them warm and ready to perform, even in freezing conditions. Proper battery care can make all the difference in keeping your machines running smoothly throughout the winter. 

Store Your Equipment Properly

Making sure your equipment is stored properly will shelter it from the harsh elements of winter. If possible, use covered areas or even indoor storage facilities to protect your machinery from the winter snow, ice, wind and rain. If you are not able to find cover for your equipment it is always smart to use waterproof covers to protect external components. Also, park machinery on solid ground after use to avoid important undercarriage components from freezing.

Preparing Your Crew for the Cold

Along with preparing your heavy machinery for the winter, it’s important to make sure that your most important pieces of equipment are ready for the cold too, and that is your crew! Teaching your crew to quickly recognize and respond to things like weather related equipment stress, emergency breakdowns, and other proper machinery upkeep can ensure that your projects won’t skip a beat despite the challenges cold weather might bring. Most importantly, keep safety in mind, as cold weather and ice can make operating heavy machinery dangerous. Keeping your crew up to date on the newest safety procedures and precautions that need to take should always be the utmost priority!

Always keep the tips and tricks above in mind for cold winter days. It’s also smart to reference machinery manuals for proper manufacturer recommendations and also seek out the wisdom of sales and service professionals on techniques that can be used to best protect your machinery from winter weather.

Preventing Hydraulic Systems Failure

, , , , , , ,
Contractors Machinery

Regular hydraulic system maintenance is something that gets overlooked far too often on heavy machinery. When hoses fail, they can cause serious damage to equipment, unexpected downtime and expensive repairs. Hydraulic systems deliver the power and movement your machines need to maneuver, lift and dig. Failures can be dangerous and costly. So, let’s address ways to keep your machinery’s hydraulic systems operating their best.

Daily Inspections

The best way to prevent failures of hydraulic systems is routine inspections to catch problems before they happen. Make looking for visible signs of damage and wear part of your daily duties before each shift to ensure all components are in good operating condition. If excessive wear or any issues are noted, get them addressed immediately before they completely break and cause more costly problems like full system failures and project shutdowns.

Routing, Heat and Protection

Preventing hydraulic hose failure begins with how the hoses are set up on the machinery. Friction is a common issue that causes accelerated wear and premature failure. In order to avoid abrasion, route hydraulic hoses away from pivot points or other areas that could cause excessive rubbing. Also, avoid running hoses near or through high temperature areas whenever possible. Heat can break down hose material, causing it to lose its flexibility and weaken its structure. It’s also important to cover or install a protective shield around hoses so they’re less likely to experience tears, cutting or other damage from harsh construction site conditions, including proximity to excessive heat sources.

Proper Fluid for Hydraulic Systems

The fluids that run through hydraulic hoses must be compatible with the hose specifications noted by the manufacturer. Improper fluids can deteriorate the inner hose material causing swelling, leaks, filter clogs and even disintegration which won’t be outwardly visible. It can also lead to much larger issues like system contamination and complete hose failure.

Recommended Preventative Maintenance

Hydraulic systems slowly break down over time, even with the proper fluids within, as small particles are released and contaminate the fluid the system compresses to create the power for movement. Changing your filters at manufacturer-recommended intervals noted in your owner’s manual is critical for the longevity of a hydraulic system and trouble-free equipment operation. Overlooking this service schedule will lead to accelerated hose wear, cuts, tears, abrasions and expensive heavy equipment services. You can pay me now, or you can pay me (more) later.

Few things can grind a job site to a halt like hydraulic hose failure. Avoid costly shutdowns and repair costs by keeping your heavy equipment’s hydraulic system maintenance on schedule with daily inspections and on-time filter and fluid changes.

Even Heavy Equipment Tracks Require Maintenance

, , , , , , , , ,
Emily Bieger

Maintaining tracks on excavators and other heavy machinery is vital for containing costs and ensuring the longevity of construction equipment. Since new tracks can be expensive, and complex installation procedures can add to that expense, extending the life of a machine’s tracks through proper maintenance is smart business. While every tracked machine will eventually need new tracks, proper care and attention can significantly extend their lifespan. Unfortunately, many operators are lax in this aspect of equipment care.

Here are five essential tips to help maximize the life of your current tracks and keep your tracked machinery operating efficiently and smoothly.

1. Choose the Right Tracks for the Job

Selecting the right track width for the conditions you’ll be working in is crucial. Narrow tracks are better for hard-packed soil or rocky terrain, while wider tracks are optimal for soft or muddy ground. Picking the proper track width ensures safety, even weight distribution and will help prevent your machine from sinking into the ground.

2. Smart Driving Practices

Although this may sound obvious, it’s important to utilize proper driving skills to prolong the life of your tracks. Avoid driving over sharp or damaging materials, curbs, or chemicals. Steer clear of steep inclines or declines and minimize time spent on harsh surfaces like asphalt or concrete. And always drive with the machine facing forward to reduce wear and prevent unnecessary track stress. Pay attention to how the machine drives and operates, listening for unusual friction or grinding noises and anything out of the ordinary will help catch issues before they can incur expensive damage.

3. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Muddy tracks need to be kept clean for maximum. longevity.

Keeping your tracks clean helps avoid premature wear. Use a track spade or power washer to remove dirt and debris after each use. Accumulated dirt can affect fuel efficiency as well as cause damage, especially in the winter when frozen dirt/soil can impact rollers and bolts more easily. Be sure to regularly inspect the undercarriage for damage, misalignment, oil leaks, or erosion to the machine.

4. Proper Track Tension and Storage

Check and adjust track tension routinely to prevent damage and performance issues. Loose tracks can slip off and delay completion of your work. Inversely, overly tight tracks may strain mechanicals of machinery. When storing tracks, keep them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Periodically run the machine to avoid warping that may come from a machine staying idle for too long.

5. Thoughtful New Track Installation

When it’s time to install new tracks, proper installation is critical to avoid damage and ensure long-lasting tracks for equipment. Consider having a professional handle this process. If you chose to do it yourself, be sure to follow all safety protocols and wear the appropriate gear. Make sure both tracks are replaced at the same time to maintain balanced usage wear and prolong an expensive piece of equipment’s lifespan.

Following proper care protocols and maintenance schedules will make sure you get the full usefulness, value, and longevity out of your equipment’s tracks. For more details, consult the expert technicians at Contractor’s Machinery. We’re here to help!

Schedule machine use outside of peak sunlight hours

When possible, try to avoid using heavy machinery during peak heat hours. In most places, the summer heat typically peaks between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Operating equipment during these hours significantly increases the chances of your radiator or engine overheating. Instead, schedule heavy machinery use for early morning or later in the day. This tactic also helps protect your machine operators from the extreme heat.

Store your equipment in a shaded area

Try not to leave your equipment in the sun. This simple and logical trick will protect your machine from direct sunlight when it’s not in use. Find shade under trees, a tent, a tarp, or any other cool, dry place. Additionally, consider parking your equipment in the shade, even during short breaks. Any time you can keep your heavy equipment out of the sun it will help reduce heat-related issues.

Inspect your heavy equipment regularly

Daily inspection is important for the life of the equipment. Hot temperatures can cause overheating issues, so it is crucial to check things like coolant and antifreeze levels. These fluids are essential for keeping your machinery cool. It is also wise to regularly check your radiator, hoses, and fans for any leaks or cracks. A small problem with a key component left unfixed can lead to larger issues, so inspect often and don’t skip scheduled maintenance.

Properly clean your equipment

Keeping your equipment clean is not only an important part of general maintenance but is also crucial for maintaining performance during the summer heat. Mud and other debris can accumulate on key components of machinery throughout the day. Ensure that all cooling components are clear of dust and debris daily to prevent overheating and allow for proper airflow.

Prepare your heavy machinery in advance

Don’t wait for the heat to come, prepare ahead! Creating a list of general maintenance that needs to be completed is a great way to get ahead of the heat. Check fluids, grease your machines, and check key components such as the radiator. All of the steps go a long way in keeping your fleet and your business running at full capacity.

New or Used?

, , , , , , , , ,
Contractors Machinery

Some easy ways to answer a hard equipment question.

When you need to increase your fleet, you may have a better option than buying new. Purchasing used machinery isn’t only a great idea for the small business owner who doesn’t have the capital to purchase new; there are advantages for every business owner that are worth considering. If you are weighing the advantages and disadvantages of a used equipment purchase, just be sure you can check all the necessary boxes and have genuine savings in the end.

CONDITION – Since there will always be some unknowns when buying used construction equipment, it’s critical that you ask as many questions as possible. (a) Can the owner verify the operational hours on the equipment? (b) How about a complete service history? (c) Will there be any type of warranty on your used equipment? The answers to these questions (or lack of answers) may quickly determine your decision. If you’re still leaning toward used, have a third party do a thorough inspection.

PRICE – Determine that the purchase price really is lower than buying new. Just like with a car, equipment dealers have some “wiggle room”. This increases if you’re buying multiple machines, so make sure you really know the rock-bottom costs you are comparing. Another factor in determining price is interest rates. They must be factored in when you are comparing prices of new and used alike.

AVAILABILITY – Factories typically have a substantial production lead time. Once you place an order for a new machine it may be months before your equipment hits the job site. In fact, you may need to rent equipment temporarily until yours arrives. In an industry where time equals money, this is a necessary consideration. If you buy used, it’s possible to have your new skid steer lifting, excavator digging, and dozer moving within a few days.

VALUE – New heavy-duty equipment depreciates the second it leads the dealership. This will hit hardest when it’s time to sell. Used equipment doesn’t carry the same depreciation, so the buying and selling price point should be much less substantial.

TECHNOLOGY – There are substantial technological advancements being made each year in the heavy equipment industry. If these are critical to your work, get creative and take the financial plunge…new will be your best decision in the long run.

When all things are considered, you may conclude that it’s best for your business to buy new. But don’t rule out used until all things truly are considered! You just may have a better pre-owned option. Call your CMI-Case dealer today to find out more.

Contractors Machinery

The careful monitoring and maintenance of the undercarriage of a large machine can easily make up 60% of the long-term cost of that machine. CASE takes those numbers very seriously, investing extensively in the undercarriage of its machines through its new undercarriage wear measuring program, All Makes Undercarriage Program.    

Using TrackCare technology, the All Makes Undercarriage Program is the collaborative effort of CASE and CNH Industrial brands. This new program allows CASE customers to partner with dealers on a whole new level, working with each other to bring unparalleled undercarriage care to their equipment, offering literally every replacement part an owner may need. 

There are several factors that contribute to the wear and tear of your machine’s undercarriage:  

Application – The type of job you are doing with your equipment has tremendous impact on the stress and strain on your machine’s parts. Considering the tasks of carrying and grading, trenching, dozing, pushing, ripping, loading…the more torque the job requires, the more stress it puts on the undercarriage.

Terrain – Your equipment is typically being used to change the terrain. Hills, slopes, crowns, depressions…all put resistance force on the undercarriage and put exceptional strain on the undercarriage components.

Underfoot – Abrasive rocks, sand, and harsh debris all deteriorate the parts of the undercarriage.

Operation – If all the above factors were not considered, the simple operation of large equipment means the undercarriage and all other parts of that machine experience daily wear and tear. We’re asking these machines to do a lot, and they work hard to do it. 

With the TrackCare system, the large equipment owner can combat each of these factors and get longer life from his equipment. He can customize track groups and chains, then order as many as are needed in specific sizes.  All Makes Undercarriage Program owners can get replacement part options for non-CASE machines as well. 

 When owning CASE equipment there are no surprises in terms of cost. Use the Total Cost Ownership calculator to strategize just what CASE can do to improve your business today!
