Heavy Equipment Repair Services Charlotte
Maintenance of farm equipment is important to ensure it is functioning properly when it’s needed. Good agricultural equipment maintenance can save you a lot of time and hassle. It’s the key to avoiding more expensive repairs.
When your equipment fails, the entire operation can lose money. Moreover, food processing and storage facilities must be kept clean and safe to ensure that the farm’s produce is safe for consumption. Preventative maintenance helps:
- Avoiding breakdowns and accidents
- Maintaining your planting, fertilizing, harvesting, and other processes running smoothly and your production on track
- Ensure the quality equipment by fine tuning and checking for potential issues
The following are some examples of routine maintenance procedures that you can easily perform on your own with little difficulty:
- Lubricating chains and cables help to reduce wear and tear.
- After each usage, pressure wash to prevent the accumulation of mud and other debris, which can rust or dissolve enamel coatings on rims, among other mechanical concerns.
- Examine the battery's voltage and amperage, and look for corrosion on the poles and cables.
- Examine the tires, especially the pressure and tread.
- Examine the oil and other fluid levels, as well as the filters and seals

Moving Parts Lubrication
Lubricants are needed to keep farm machinery operating safely and efficiently. All of the moving parts on your computer will require grease on a regular basis. The frequency with which lubricants must be applied to equipment depends on several factors such as the type of equipment and the weather.
The owner’s manual usually provides a maintenance schedule as well as recommendations for lubrication and other preventive maintenance.
Regardless of what type of transmission your equipment has, the transmission’s primary job is to allow the gear ratio between both the drive wheels and engine to adjust as the vehicle slows down and accelerates. When the equipment comes to a halt, the transmission disconnects the engine from the driving wheels, causing the engine to idle while the wheels are not in motion. Also, transmissions enable rapid acceleration from a standstill and allow the engine to run more slowly, reducing wear while the vehicle maintains a constant speed. Transmissions can develop a wide range of problems that necessitate repair.

Filter Inspection and Replacement
Filters are intended to keep pollutants out of food, fuels, and lubricants. Maintenance is necessary to keep the machinery functioning correctly. This is the most common type of filter:
- Oil filters: these are typically changed whenever you switch out the oil
- Air filters: needs checking weekly and replaced when clogged
Regular Inspections
Heavy equipment parts degrade over time, and this is accelerated when the equipment is under load, or in adverse weather conditions. You should check the following regularly:
- Belts and chains with loose tension and breaking or cracking
- Strange sounds or scents
- Hose, fuel/oil line, cylinder, and hydraulic line leaks
- Pitting, fracture, and other wear indicators
- Pins and bolts that are loose or broken
Bearings Inspection
In order for a rotating object to move smoothly, it needs to have ball bearings on its wheels. This is a combination of both tractor wheels and conveyor belt rollers. Bearings have a limited lifetime. Eventually, they will wear out and must be replaced.
You’ll hear a familiar grinding sound when this setting is required, and if the equipment overheats you’ll need our help. What type of bearing you have determines the frequency at which you should service your bearing. Bear in mind factors like:
- The environment in which the equipment operates
- The number of hours spent using the equipment
- How frequently is lubrication performed
Calibration of Equipment
A farm has a lot of machinery that must be maintained and calibrated, especially anything dealing with food.
You should always calibrate the thermometer, thermostat, scale, and other food safety tools that you use. When the calibration is wrong, it might cause safety and health problems, such as:
- Problems with combining preservatives
- Temperature regulation is insufficient
- Introduction of foreign objects and debris
