When you want efficiency to last, attention during work must go together with scrupulous maintenance of the dumper: this important step must not only be carried out by qualified personnel, but must also comply with specific deadlines and activities for checking, cleaning and replacing components. Only in this way will the dumper always be at peak efficiency and ensure great reliability even years after its purchase.

How often is it necessary to carry out dumper maintenance and what are the essential factors for carrying it out in the best possible way? Follow this guide: we will advise you how to proceed, step by step, for perfect maintenance of your machine.

Deadlines, inspections and replacements: How is dumper maintenance carried out?

One of the most important questions regarding dumper maintenance concerns the regularity with which it must be carried out. There are various deadlines to be met.

The first service is the most important of all and must be carried out after 50 hours of use or one month after purchasing the hauler. In this case, the experts carry out a series of checks on the operation of the machine with oil change and filters: the internal-external air filter, the diesel filter and the engine oil filter. Following all these stages of overhaul and replacement of parts to the letter is essential not only to ensure optimum operation of the machine, but also to be able to make use of the warranty in the event of problems.

Once the first service has been carried out, the time for maintenance of the dumper becomes longer: generally, the overhaul takes place every 200 hours of use or every four months. In these cases, the focus is on the different components of the machine, from the more general to the more specific, such as the engine, the electrical system, the hydraulic circuit and the undercarriage.

Among the activities that the technicians dedicate themselves to, for example, we can find:

    • – Checking the functioning of the various components, such as the condition of the control levers and bellows, searching for leaks in the fuel circuit and level gauge, and greasing the rollers;
    • – Cleaning the machine’s pump compartment, oil cooler and areas containing electrical cables;
    • – Adjustment of the engine bonnet closure, crankcase vibrations when the engine is running, intake and exhaust valve clearance and many other items;
    • – Replacement of worn components, so-called ‘filters’.

Thanks to complete maintenance of your dumper you will always have a clear overview of the state of your machine, which will be as good as new, ready to resume work.
