HEAVY DUTY TRUCK LIFTS
Heavy-Duty Truck Lift Maintenance Guide
Why Maintenance Matters
Heavy-duty truck lifts handle the largest and heaviest vehicles in the industry. Regular maintenance ensures safety, reliability, and optimal performance.
Key Risks of Skipping Maintenance
- Safety Risks: A lift failure can cause catastrophic damage and severe injuries.
- Increased Costs: Ignoring minor issues leads to major breakdowns and expensive repairs.
- Downtime: A malfunctioning lift halts operations, delaying projects and increasing costs.
- Warranty Voids: Regular maintenance is often required to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
- Daily Checks: Inspect for leaks, cracks, and proper safety lock engagement before each use.
- Weekly Maintenance: Check hydraulic fluid, inspect cables, and lubricate moving parts.
- Annual Inspections: Schedule a professional inspection to ensure structural integrity and operational efficiency.
After Heavy Use or Accidents
After heavy loads or incidents, immediately inspect hydraulic hoses, safety locks, and load-bearing components to ensure no hidden damage.
Professional vs. DIY Maintenance
While daily checks and minor tasks can be done in-house, complex repairs and diagnostics should be left to certified professionals.
