Telescopic boom lifts are essential equipment for reaching high places safely and efficiently. Proper maintenance not only prolongs the life of your lift but also ensures safety during operation. If you want to keep your boom lift in top condition, here are 5 simple steps to follow.
1. Conduct a Pre-Use Inspection
Before using the boom lift, check for any visible issues:
-
Hydraulic fluid leaks
-
Worn or damaged tires
-
Loose or damaged bolts
-
Electrical or control malfunctions
This step may seem basic, but skipping it can lead to costly repairs or accidents. Always take a few minutes to make sure your equipment is safe to operate.
2. Keep the Hydraulic System Healthy
The hydraulic system is the heart of a telescopic boom lift. Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and inspect hoses for cracks or leaks. Replace worn parts promptly. A well-maintained hydraulic system ensures smooth extension and retraction of the boom.
3. Clean and Lubricate Moving Parts
Dust, dirt, and debris can reduce efficiency and damage mechanical components. Clean the boom, pivot points, and other moving parts regularly. Apply the recommended lubricants to keep everything moving smoothly and prevent premature wear.
4. Inspect Electrical Components
Electrical issues can cause serious problems. Check battery levels, wiring, connectors, and switches. For electric telescopic boom lifts, ensure the charging system is working properly. Even a small electrical fault can disrupt operations or create safety hazards.
5. Schedule Professional Maintenance
While daily checks and cleaning are essential, periodic professional maintenance is equally important. TGME offers support for both short-term and long-term maintenance, including:
