3 Ways To Know It’s Time To Update Your Heavy Equipment

3 Ways To Know It's Time To Update Your Heavy Equipment

3 Ways To Know It’s Time To Update Your Heavy Equipment

If you own a business that frequently runs heavy equipment as a part of your everyday operations you most likely have recognized that some wear and tear is a normal part of owning and operating said equipment! You also might have realized that deciding when it’s time to update your heavy equipment can be challenging – when does your equipment cross over the line of having regular wear and tear to it being time to update and upgrade your equipment? As a business owner, you want to make the best investments for your business while also functioning in the most efficient way possible! Well, you are in luck because today we want to share with you 3 different ways to know it’s time to cross that line and update your heavy equipment so that you can keep your operations running at maximum efficiency.

The first way to know that it is time to update your piece of heavy equipment is when it begins to cost you more than what it is making you. This is more likely a scenario for a smaller business owner with not as much revenue as a larger business or corporation – but if your equipment has so much wear and tear that you are in the shop fixing it more than what you are out of the shop using it, that’s a pretty good sign that it might be time to update that piece of machinery. As soon as you cross over the line of spending more time and money on repairs for a piece of equipment than the amount of time and money it is saving or making you, then it is likely time to part ways! This can be hard, especially if you have used the equipment faithfully for years, but when you look at the big picture, investing and updating your equipment will end up saving you money and maybe even making you more!

The second way that you can know that it might be time to update and upgrade your equipment is when your company outgrows it. As your company grows, so should your tools and equipment – and not just in quantity. Your equipment should also grow in the sense of functionality! Each piece of machinery or equipment should operate in a way that allows for growth (more jobs/tasks) as well as keep up with the responsibilities that you have currently put before it! If your equipment is falling behind or you aren’t sure that you want to put it up against of one of your “bigger” jobs or tasks because you fear that it won’t be able to complete the job or function the way it should, it is likely time for an update and upgrade.

Our last tip of 3 ways to tell it’s time to update your equipment is when you begin to notice excessive signs of wear and tear. When you begin to see excessive wear and tear such as extreme rust, corrosion, and deterioration. Extreme wear and tear all begins from being normal wear and tear, so it is important to keep your eye out for the developing issues and watch them progress. Keep your eyes open for extreme wear and tear by performing routine preventive maintenance on all of your equipment. This will help you keep an eye on what parts of your equipment might be tipping the scale from normal wear and tear over to being ready to update and upgrade.

If you are ready to upgrade and update your equipment, we have auctions going on regularly with tons of great pieces of equipment. Click here to see all of our upcoming equipment auctions.

With 2020 just having begun you may have already made your new year’s resolutions but it’s never too late to begin your efforts to save on equipment costs this year.

clean equipment

Do Preventive Maintenance Checks

Preventive maintenance checks are one of the main ways that you can save money on your equipment this year. It’s always a good idea to routinely be checking your equipment so you can look for any issues that might be on the horizon. Take the time to check over your machinery top to bottom at least once a week to ensure that it is in great working condition.

Keep Track Of Service Hours

Keeping Track of service hours is a good way to keep track of the wear and tear on your equipment and gives you a good scope and timeline of when your equipment might need maintenance. More service hours also means that you need to keep a closer eye on your equipment watching for any issues that might arise.

Schedule and Plan Maintenance

Scheduling and planning time for maintenance is a great way to save on costs. Scheduling your maintenance will keep you accountable when it comes to preventive maintenance measures but also it will allow a professional to handle your equipment on a routine. You may pay more upfront for a replacement part or repair that hadn’t QUITE broken yet, but you will save money in the long term of not having your equipment breakdown or need maintenance when you most need it leaving you in a jam.

Budget For Equipment Servicing

It’s always a good idea to budget for your equipment servicing. It’s a good way to plan ahead for any unexpected costs while also building into your expenses preventive maintenance costs that will occur. Be sure to sit down and go over your budget this year and work in the cost of equipment servicing as well as an “emergency fund” for any unforeseen repairs that might sneak up on you!

Train Your Equipment Operators

Lastly and maybe one of the easiest and important ways to save money on your equipment this year is by taking the time to train your machine operators. Sit your machine operators down and go through the everyday operations and expectations of your equipment. This might include talking to them about proper idling times, how and when to speak up if an issue arises, as well as the proper ways to run and operate the equipment.

Reducing equipment costs doesn’t have to be hard, and ultimately we know that it can be a huge benefit to your business! So take the time to be more intentional about the use of your equipment this year, and find yourself with a few extra dollars at the end of the year.
