Six reasons to maintain your construction equipment

Increased productivity

Regular maintenance helps in preventing unexpected breakdowns, ensuring that machines operate smoothly and reliably. This minimises unscheduled downtime and enhances productivity on construction sites. Our Global e-Service platform allows remote monitoring of machinery, providing valuable data to optimise performance and detect potential issues before they lead to failures​​.

Enhanced efficiency

Maintenance activities, including timely servicing and parts replacement, enable machines to run efficiently. As a result, they consume less fuel and operate more effectively, reducing overall operational costs. For instance, the ConSite data report service sends monthly summaries of machine performance, helping you to maintain optimal efficiency​​.

Maximised availability

By maintaining equipment regularly, you can ensure that your machines are available when needed. We recommend the use of telematics and fleet management tools to monitor and manage the condition of equipment in real time, which helps in scheduling maintenance activities during non-peak hours, therefore maximising machine availability​​.

Reduced running costs

Regular maintenance can also significantly reduce long-term running costs by preventing major repairs and extending the lifespan of your equipment. Our service contracts and extended warranty options provide additional protection and cost savings by covering repair costs and offering preventive maintenance advice​​.

Safety and compliance

Ensuring that construction machinery is well-maintained is essential for the safety of operators and compliance with regulatory standards. Proper maintenance prevents malfunctions that could lead to accidents and ensures that the equipment meets safety regulations.

Greater sustainability

Here at HCME we are committed to sustainability, and well-maintained machines are more environmentally friendly. They produce fewer emissions and operate more efficiently. Our focus on using genuine parts and lubricants contributes to the sustainable operation of our machinery​​. Discover more about the importance of lubricants in our ‘Lubricants explained’ guide.

By investing in regular maintenance, you can achieve better performance, lower costs, and enhanced safety, aligning with our goals of providing reliable and efficient machinery solutions.
