Motor graders, otherwise known as road graders, are powerful pieces of heavy equipment depended on by numerous industries. When it’s time to grade or level a surface, the motor grader is the most likely choice. Every motor grader comes with three axles, an engine and a blade to perform smoothing work.
Cat® heavy equipment is legendary for its reliability, and with the right maintenance measures, it’s an investment that can last for decades. Maintaining and replacing batteries when necessary is essential to reaching that level of longevity.
Fuel filtration is critical in the heavy equipment world. The sophisticated precision fuel systems of today’s machinery require complete cleanliness to meet power and efficiency demands. Though many modern engines deliver better burn and higher pressure than ever before, they’re still vulnerable to contaminants that can cause poor engine performance.
While heavy equipment like bulldozers, excavators and wheel loaders typically don’t travel at high speeds, operators must be able to stop their machines quickly and reliably to ensure safety on a job site. The ability to stop safely is also necessary to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, which stipulate that earthmoving equipment must include a braking system capable of stopping and holding the machine when fully loaded.
Your heavy equipment’s drive train is vital to its ability to move and maneuver. As the primary connection between the engine and wheels or tracks, the drive train delivers power where it needs to go to, keeping you moving and turning safely. The drive train typically includes the transmission, axles, differential, drive shaft, and joints.
Power generation equipment is a must-have for many property owners. It brings security, comfort and safety during weather events or system failures. Although quite functional, generators aren’t the most visually pleasing items. This fact poses a challenge — how to hide a generator so it doesn’t detract from curb appeal.
Your heavy equipment works in some challenging environments. The job site is often dusty and dirty, yet the engines in your machines need clean air to operate at peak performance. Rely on genuine Cat® engine air filters to stand up to these conditions and prevent costly repairs.
Mini excavators, also known as compact excavators, perform versatile work around the job site. Contractors use mini excavators to dig, drill, and carry materials in various applications. The compact size and flexibility of these excavators make them ideal for various industries, including construction, demolition, and farming.
Excavators are vital pieces of heavy equipment for applications across many industries, from construction to mining to landscaping.
Skid steers are versatile, powerful pieces of equipment for any construction site. With regular maintenance, you can keep these valuable machines operating at the highest level of performance, safety, and efficiency. When caring for a skid steer, it’s key to follow a preventive inspection and maintenance procedure so you don’t accidentally miss a small detail that could snowball into a large problem later.
Heavy equipment is a major investment for any organization, so when you begin experiencing problems with a machine, you need to make the most economically sound decision about what to do with it. Some organizations have mandatory replacement schedules, and they automatically replace a machine once it hits a certain amount of hours or after a certain amount of time has passed.
