Spring is here, and some areas have also ushered in the rainy season. Construction site operations are faced with a complex environment of high humidity and mud. This is a relatively "dangerous" period for telescopic boom cranes. Because moisture can easily lead to circuit breakage and hydraulic system failure, sedimentation caused by sediment will accelerate the wear of structural parts and hide safety hazards.
We have compiled a maintenance guide based on weather characteristics to help you easily cope with wet weather and keep your equipment running efficiently!
1. About the hydraulic system
During the rainy season, when the humidity is heavy, hydraulic oil is most likely to get water and deteriorate. The status of the hydraulic oil should be checked regularly. If it appears turbid or emulsified, it should be replaced in time. The filter element should also be replaced at the same time to ensure that the oil is pure. It is also necessary to carefully check each oil pipe joint and seal. If there is leakage, replace it in time to prevent the intrusion of rain and moisture to ensure the stability of telescopic and hoisting power.
2. Telescopic arm and body
Rainfall occurs frequently during this period, and the ground at the factory site is muddy, making it easy for the boom and chassis to become contaminated with mud. Long-term adhesion and moisture will easily cause rust and wear, affecting the load-bearing strength of structural parts.
Therefore, the car body should be cleaned promptly after daily operations to see if there is any attached sediment or other debris to avoid siltation and solidification over time. It is also necessary to add sufficient grease to key parts such as each hinge point to form a protective film to prevent moisture from causing rust and jamming.
3. Circuit system
In this kind of weather, the circuit system is prone to moisture and oxidation, resulting in short circuit or malfunction problems, which may lead to risks such as instrument jumping or control failure.
Regularly check the circuit system and control switches, seal and waterproof them, check whether the wiring harness connectors are loose or damaged, and deal with them in time. Tests must be carried out before each day's operation to ensure that all systems are normal before starting equipment operations.
4. Tips for using and parking
Try to choose a dry and ventilated place to park the equipment, stay away from low-lying water areas, and avoid being exposed to rain in the open air. If you really need to park it outdoors, you can cover the equipment with a tarpaulin.
Before starting work every day, inspections must be carried out to ensure that there are no problems with each system before work can begin.
The most important point is to avoid overloaded lifting in order to reduce equipment loss and extend the service life of the telescopic arm crane.
During rainy season construction, safety and efficiency are indispensable. Only by doing good maintenance can the equipment operate efficiently. Weisheng Machine focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of telescopic boom cranes. With high-quality equipment and professional maintenance services, it enables customers to operate safely and efficiently throughout the season.
