Optimum operation of your engines is very important. After all, they are the driving force behind your business. But do you always know what condition your engines are in? Can you act in time to avoid crashes? Our life extension check is designed to give you an insight into the condition of your engines and to extend their life. The check tells you exactly where you stand from a technical point of view.
WHAT IS A LIFE EXTENSION CHECK?
A life-extending check includes a series of inspections and analyzes for the purpose of preventive maintenance on Cat engines. You will receive the results in a comprehensive report accompanied by detailed maintenance recommendations. The life-extending check includes:
- inspection of cylinders using a bore scope: the degree of wear on valves, valve lines, piston crowns and liners will be thoroughly reviewed
- lubricating oil analysis: our laboratory will examine a sample of lubricating oil for traces of wear;
- cooling water system analysis: the quality of the cooling water will be tested. Poor quality accelerates the erosion of engine parts
- reading and evaluation of ECM data (electronic control module)
- control of turbocharger play.
BENEFITS OF CATERPILLARS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance on Caterpillar engines extends the life of your equipment. It is no coincidence that this check is called the ‘life extension check’. The check makes it possible to avoid dangerous situations, but also contributes to a better environment and ultimately reduces your costs. Prevention is always better than repair.
