1. Check Your Battery Cold weather lowers your battery’s ability to recharge, leaving the battery life low when you’re ready to start on the road. To make sure your battery is in good shape, make sure to test it by disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it. It’s also crucial that you clean your batteries routinely and replace them every five years or so.
Winter weather is tough on the heavy-duty equipment your team relies on for success. It is possible to power up your work fleet to move snow or continue with construction, but some preventive maintenance will be necessary to keep your investments in peak operating condition.
Proper equipment parking involves taking thorough steps to ensure the operator’s safety and the equipment’s function. Temperature, ground condition and engine heat all impact the right protocol for machine parking. By performing the proper equipment parking technique, you can get the most out of your investment.
If you know what to look for, investing in preowned heavy equipment offers several benefits, including being just as tough and capable as new equipment — yet easier on your wallet.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), there were 1,008 deaths in the construction industry in 2018. Out of all worker deaths in America, one in five is construction related. Of these construction deaths, more than half of them resulted from four leading causes: falls, being struck by an object, electrocutions and being caught in or between objects.
For contractors, heavy equipment represents some of the biggest investments you can make in your business. If your equipment becomes damaged, gets into an accident or is stolen from your warehouse or job site, you could be facing serious losses — unless you have an equipment insurance policy. The right insurance is essential for protecting heavy equipment. We’ll help you choose the right amount of coverage to meet your needs.
