5 Tips To Reduce Construction Machinery Usage Costs

The usage cost during the use of construction machinery has always been a concern of users. So how to minimize the usage cost to better realize the value of construction machinery?

1. Minimize the impact of harmful factors

Avoid impurities
For construction machinery working in places with harsh environments and complex conditions, first of all, we must use high-quality, matching parts and lubricating oils and greases to block the sources of harmful impurities; secondly, we must do a good job in mechanical protection at the work site to ensure The corresponding mechanism can work normally to prevent various impurities from entering the inside of the machine. For malfunctioning machinery, try to go to a regular repair place for repair. During on-site repairs, protective measures must also be taken to prevent the parts replaced during on-site repairs from being contaminated by dust and other impurities before entering the machinery.

2. Reasonable workload
The size and nature of the working load of engineering machinery have an important impact on the wear process of the machinery. Generally speaking, the wear of parts increases proportionally with the increase of load. When a part is subjected to a load higher than the average design load, its wear will increase. In addition, when other conditions are the same, the wear under stable load is smaller than that under dynamic load, with fewer failures and shorter service life. Ensuring normal working load mainly depends on the operator's use of construction machinery. First, we must pay attention not to work under the maximum load that the machine can withstand, and to use the machine within its capabilities. As a construction machinery manager, when appointing an operator, you should hand over the random information and operating manuals of the construction machinery to the operator so that he can properly grasp the mechanical performance and operating procedures, and should not withhold relevant information at will. Second, try to ensure the uniform increase and decrease of the mechanical load so that the machine is in a relatively gentle load change.

3. Use of lubricants correctly
According to statistics, more than half of the failures of construction machinery are caused by poor lubrication. Due to the precision of the matching of various parts of engineering machinery, good lubrication can maintain normal working clearance and appropriate working temperature, thereby reducing the degree of wear of parts and reducing mechanical failures. Normal and reasonable lubrication is one of the effective measures to reduce mechanical failure. To this end, first, the lubricant must be selected rationally. During use, neither low-grade lubricants nor other types of lubricants can be used instead, and inferior products must not be used. The second is to frequently check the quantity and quality of lubricant.

4. Maintenance and repair on time
Various faults are bound to occur during the use of construction machinery. Among these faults, some faults may have a very slight impact on mechanical equipment, while some may be more serious and even cause major accidents involving machine destruction and human death. Experience shows that serious mechanical failures are often caused by smaller failures. The reason lies in the neglect of timely handling of minor faults. Therefore, mechanical faults, no matter how big or small, should be eliminated in time, so as to maintain the normal performance of the machine and reduce the possibility of causing larger faults.

5. Technology and organizational management must be correct
With the development of materials science and design and manufacturing technology, many new technologies, new materials, and new structures have been adopted in engineering machinery, requiring the technical support and management of machinery to be more scientific and complete. For this reason, as organizational managers and operators of construction machinery
