Maximize Performance & Lifespan:Expert Tips for Excavator Attachment Maintenance

 

Key Maintenance Practices for Excavator Attachments

 

1. Daily Inspection Routines

Check hydraulic hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, or wear.

Inspect teeth, blades, and cutting edges for excessive wear;  replace if damage exceeds 30% of the original thickness.

Clean accumulated debris (e.g., mud, rocks) from joints and pivot points to prevent corrosion.

 

2. Lubrication Best Practices

Apply high-temperature grease to pins, bushings, and rotating parts every 50 operating hours.

Use ISO VG 68-grade oil for hydraulic systems in extreme temperatures.

 

3.Wear-Part Replacement Strategy

Monitor manufacturer-recommended intervals (e.g., replace shear bolts every 500 hours).

 

4. Post-Operation Careo

Rinse saltwater-exposed attachments (e.g., in port operations) with fresh water to prevent rust.

Store attachments in a dry, covered area or use protective covers when idle.
