As a brand of Caterpillar, Shan Gong Machinery has given a series of professional precautions for the long-term storage of loaders. These recommendations are intended to ensure that loaders can remain in good condition during downtime and avoid equipment damage or performance degradation due to prolonged parking.

Before storage, the construction unit should carry out a comprehensive cleaning and drying of the loader to ensure that the vehicle is clean and tidy. If conditions permit, it is best to store the loader in a dry warehouse; If you can only store it in the open air, you should choose a concrete floor that is easy to drain and cover it with canvas. In addition, a series of inspections and maintenance work need to be carried out before storage, including filling the fuel tank with oil, filling the moving pin shaft and drive shaft with grease, replacing the hydraulic oil, shifting the speed control handle to the neutral position, pulling up the button of the parking brake, etc.

In the storage process, the construction unit needs to start the machine regularly and run the various systems to ensure that the moving parts are lubricated and the battery is charged. Before starting the vehicle, the butter should be wiped off the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, and a thin layer of butter should be applied after finishing the operation. In addition, anti-rust oil should be applied to the rust-prone parts to prevent the equipment from rusting.

When the machine is stored for a long time, the construction unit needs to carry out a series of inspections and replacement work, including the replacement of engine, transmission, drive axle lubricating oil, hydraulic oil and antifreeze, and the filling of grease for all moving pin shafts and transmission shafts. These measures are designed to ensure that the loader can be restored to optimal condition before returning to service.

Shan GongMachinery reminds the majority of construction units, regardless of whether your area will be affected by the "stop work order", you should understand and learn the precautions for long-term storage of these loaders in advance. This not only helps protect your equipment investment, but also ensures that your loaders remain in good condition and ready to go back into service during a shutdown.
