Demolition Equipment Maintenance SOP

Demolition equipment is always being put to the test. Every quality demolition contractor looks to get quality name equipment at a fair price.

Demolition equipment maintenance falls under two basic categories, the first being routine maintenance – tire changes, fluid changes, filter changes, etc., or wear-and-tear items that the manufacturer’s O & M manual requires to be replaced at set intervals. The second category for demolition equipment maintenance is for parts that malfunction or break outside of normal wear and tear. These include, for example, a broken tooth on an excavator bucket, leaking hydraulic fittings, or broken or nonworking electronics.

Developing a detailed SOP for demolition equipment maintenance is critical to any demolition operation. Good demolition equipment maintenance software can guide maintenance personnel and keep track of important maintenance data such as equipment history, manufacturer’s warranties, maintenance timing and intervals, model and serial numbers, record of maintenance and repairs, how much money has been spent on that particular piece of equipment, depreciated value, important contact information, and factory callbacks or notifications. It can aid in deciding whether to repair or replace equipment. Equipment operators and field personnel must follow the SOP when bringing equipment in for maintenance and repairs and should record any problems with the demolition equipment in detail to ensure that issues are addressed promptly and properly.
