Used Motor Graders at Shriram Automall

Construction equipments act as backbone in case of huge construction projects. Proper use of construction equipments contributes to economy, quality, safety, speed and timely completion of a project. Almost 15-30% of total construction cost is accounted towards equipment and machinery. Construction equipments increase the rate of production and eliminate heavy manual work to ensure work is completed on time.

Using Construction Equipments have now become the most important part of construction projects and thus it is essential to have knowledge about different construction equipments commonly used in the industry.

MOTOR GRADER

Motor Graders, which are one of important equipments and used in maintenance and construction of roads are also referred as road grader, a blade, a maintainer or a grader. It is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. A variety of attachments turn the motor grader into a more versatile machine, enabling the machine to do things such as dig shallow holes. Typical models have three axles, with the engine and cab situated above the rear axles at one end of the vehicle and a third axle at the front end of the vehicle, with the blade in between.

Uses

·         The grader is used for road maintenance in flattening surfaces before application of asphalt.

·         In civil engineering, motor grader's purpose is to "finish grade" (to refine or set precisely).

·         These machines are used for fine grading, spreading and earth moving along with their use for clearing debris and brush as well as snow removal.

·         Used for grading and finishing the upper surface of earthen formations and embankments usually operated in forward directions.

·         Certain graders can operate multiple attachments, or be used for separate tasks like underground mining.

·         Graders are also used to set native soil foundation pads to finish grade prior to the construction of large buildings. Graders can produce inclined surfaces, to give cant (camber) to roads.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           You may also Read : It's the constructive world of  Pre - Owned Construction Equipment Industry

Tips to maintain efficiency of Back-Hoe Loaders

Due to its relatively small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc. The nature of work for which backhoe is used is bound to cause a lot of wear and tear and regular maintenance of this machine is essential to ensure cost-effective operations, higher efficiency and longer life.

Few tips on how to maintain efficiency of backhoe loader:

Inspect the machine before using

Before you start operating your Backhoe Loader, take a walk around the machine and check if everything is fine with the loader or not. You can also find a daily checklist in the manufacturers’ kit or on the machine which will guide you to perform necessary tasks for checking the condition. At the front of the machine, check the cutting edge, if it is eroding and the bucket is getting impacted. On the back, check for broom and stick for any signs of damage. Check under the machine for any signs of leaks. Apart from this, check the engine compartment to make sure that air filter is working fine. Check the coolant and windshield water container levels too.

Greasing

Being a complex machine, with many moving parts it is important to check if all the parts of the machine are properly greased or not. The maintenance person must have the knowledge about all the locations on the machine that need regular greasing. Using the grease of quality and specification that has been recommended by the manufacturer is important. The grease may differ for the region in which the machine is being used, based on the temperature of the region. High quality grease may cost a bit extra, but the benefits that it delivers in terms of elongating the life of major wear areas, makes it worth the cost.

Over greasing is not good as well, as it may attract dust or dirt particles to stick with the grease, which in turn may result in to wear and tear. 

Tire Maintenance

Never neglect your tire maintenance schedule. Regularly check to see if tires are flat or not and ensure that there are no cuts on the tires. Proper tire pressure is necessary to have a longer life for tires, low tire pressure can adversely impact the ride quality as well and the machine will be unstable and will be difficult to operate.

Clean Oil

As backhoe operates in dusty conditions, it is important to ensure that the oil in the system remains clean. Clean oil is essential for extended transmission and engine life, and for proper heath of hydraulic systems. Contaminated hydraulic system could adversely impact the hydraulic components. Extra care should be implied while checking oils, no two oils must be mixed. If unclean oil is used, you are exposing critical parts of your machine to risk and it could lead to high repair cost.

With the above mentioned tips you can easily take care of your back hoe loader & extend its life by at least 2 to 3 years increasing your ROI.
