You own a lot of capital equipment. And let’s face it: if it’s not running, you’re losing revenue and profits. There are several causes of DOWNTIME, and EQUIPMENT NOT FUNCTIONING is one of them.  Here we will show you how to reduce downtime.

How can you help prevent equipment failure?

Inspections: When operating a pressure washer, look for potential problems: leaks, cracks, or broken seals. Rinse off oil and grime to view operating parts. Perform this inspection every time the machine is used. Staying a step ahead can reduce equipment failure.

Preventive maintenance: Cleanliness will help ensure employees are able to perform regular inspections more quickly and thoroughly. Regular 50-point checks are a must, even if they’re done just once per year.

Operator pride: Keep your equipment clean and your operators will take better care of it, leading to improved productivity.

A company can save between 12-18% by focusing on preventative maintenance instead of being caught by reactive maintenance.
