Your heavy equipment must be able to operate efficiently in even the harshest conditions. In rough terrain, the undercarriage is where your vehicle will experience the most wear and tear. That’s why undercarriage assessment is an important part of preventative maintenance. Performing periodic inspections will give you a chance to find potential problems before they become more serious, which is why Rhino Equipment Services has a team of qualified technicians that can inspect and repair the undercarriage of your vehicle.
There’s more to undercarriage maintenance than performing regular inspections. There are a number of things that can affect the wear and tear that your equipment will experience over time. The type of work it will be doing, the terrain in which it will be operating, and the techniques used by the operator can have an effect on the vehicle’s condition. When you work with us, our team of qualified technicians will make sure that every part of your vehicle is in good working order. We will also make sure you experience as little downtime as possible.
Our Undercarriage Assessment Process
As they look at the undercarriage of your vehicle, our technicians will look at the following:
- Loose or missing parts.
- Physical damage to the undercarriage, wheels/tracks, or driveline.
- Abnormal wear patterns that point to a hidden problem.
- Loose bearings, gears, or track linkages.
Aside from identifying the damage, preventative maintenance can keep your undercarriage in top condition. To reduce the stress on its components, our technicians can do the following:
- Make sure the tracks are properly tensioned.
- Recommend and source the best shoe type for your specific application.
- Prepare your undercarriage for working in rough conditions.
Every machine is different, which is why a skilled technician will take multiple factors into consideration before determining the best service solution for your fleet.
