Why Do Regular Inspections on an Excavator
Excavator inspections are important because they help to ensure the safety of the operator and the people around the excavator. They also help to prevent damage to the excavator and the property around it. Doing daily inspections can catch problems early and prevent them from becoming bigger, more expensive issues later on.
What is a Pre-Start Inspection?
Pre-start inspections are the basic examinations that an operator completes before performing operational functions. The objective is to identify existing or potential faults with the machine, that may lead to repairs, accidents or unexpected downtime if not given attention. Pre-start inspections must be performed based on the recommendations outlined in the operator’s manual.
