Prevention, avoids painful and costly breakdowns.

Do you run your equipment the way you run your body? What do you expect?
Selling prevention solutions for heavy equipment both mobile and fixed has challenged me for 30 years, and it seems to be getting worse.
People are focussed on next quarter profits, or on spending nothing now in the hopes that equipment will somehow last forever.
- Just as you take care of your body, drink fluids, exercise and generally take care of yourself, the same should apply to your equipment.
- Tracking the cost savings is simple and easy to see.
- Your OEM supplier may not be too interested in seeing his sales of parts drop, but who do you owe allegiance to? Your supplier or your company?
Filtration that removes grit and contaminants down to 3 microns, AND removes water at 99% will save you a LOT of down time, parts, labour and lost opportunities.
Kidney looping / by-pass filtration is best done when mounted directly on to the equipment. 2nd best solution is to use a filter cart built with by pass filters. EVERYTHING WEARS OUT FROM THE INSIDE OUT https://www.sipg.ca/
A bolter, underground having its oil continually cleaned by our kidney filtration system.
Lighting, a critical element. (who wants to work in the dark?)
