Inspect for Cracks or Damage and Repair
All earthmoving equipment is subjected to a high degree of wear and tear. This makes it necessary for them to be inspected periodically for structural damage and for correct operation of all systems. This is particularly important for off highway trucks which can be subjected to very arduous work cycles.It is important that regular inspections are carried out in order to minimise the risk of accidents and down time. The interval between these inspections depends on factors like the age of the truck, the severity of the application, loading, haul road condition and the amount of routine servicing which has been carried out. Older trucks or trucks in particularly severe applications will require more frequent inspections but, in general, it is recommended that these inspections should be carried out at intervals not exceeding 1000 service meter hours or six months.If the truck has been involved in a collision or any kind of accident it must be taken out of service immediately and inspected thoroughly, regardless of when the last full inspection was made.In order to carry out a proper inspection it is essential that the truck is thoroughly cleaned. It is impossible to inspect the truck properly if it is dirty.Early detection and repair of faults will ensure continued operation of the truck and will improve availability while reducing the risk of accidents. However, proper repair of frames and structures requires specific knowledge of materials used, frame member construction and manufacturers recommended repair techniques. If the need arises to carry out repairs it is recopmmended that you contact your local Caterpillar Dealer who is qualified to carry out
