Preventive Maintenance Program

Catch Failures Before They Cost You Uptime.

Schedule recurring on-site visits online. Every visit produces a documented checklist with photos of what we found — so when something needs attention, you have the evidence to justify the budget. And when nothing’s wrong, you have proof of that too.

Why Maintenance

A Hydraulic Failure on a Tuesday Morning Costs More Than a Year of Maintenance.

Compactors, balers, presses, and dock levelers don’t fail without warning. Hose covers crack. Seals weep. Filters clog. Fluid darkens. We catch all of it — on a schedule that fits your operation — before it becomes downtime.

A 30-minute visit twice a year prevents the 6-hour emergency at 7 AM on a Monday.

What’s Checked

The PM Visit Checklist.

Every preventive maintenance visit follows the same documented checklist. Items vary slightly by equipment type, but the principle is constant: every component checked, every finding photographed, every recommendation in writing.

Hydraulic Fluid & Reservoir

Fluid level and clarity inspection
Reservoir vent / breather check
Sight glass and contamination indicators
Fluid sample for visual assessment (lab analysis available on request)
Reservoir sealing and external leaks
Cooling system / heat exchanger inspection

Filtration

Suction strainer / filter condition
Pressure / return-line filter status
Differential-pressure indicator readings
Filter element replacement (as scheduled)

Hoses, Fittings & Tubing

Hose cover for cracks, abrasion, kinks, blistering
Fitting and adapter weeps / seepage
Hose age check (date codes recorded)
Routing — rub points, sharp bends, support clamps
Tube fittings re-torque check
Hose replacement recommendations with photos

Cylinders, Pumps, Motors & Valves

Cylinder rod for scoring, plating wear, bent rod
Gland and barrel external leakage
Pump and motor housing leaks / unusual noise / heat
Mounting hardware torque inspection
Valve body external leakage and solenoid function
Pressure-gauge cross-check at test points

System & Safety

Operating pressure verification
Cycle time check vs. baseline
E-stop and safety circuit operation
Photoeye / proximity sensor function (compactor / baler)
Guard and access door interlocks
Visible electrical connections at the hydraulic system

The Report

You See What We See.

After every visit you get a structured report: the full checklist, pass/fail/attention status on each item, photos of anything that needs attention, and a prioritized recommendation list with line-item pricing.
