Servicing Machines During Down Months

Back to blog

During the brutal cold winter months, your quarry may need to temporarily shut down its operations. 

Now could be the perfect time to service your machines to make sure they are in working condition once the weather thaws out in spring. 

Maintenance

Are you keeping up with your machine’s recommended maintenance? You never want to wait until your machine breaks down to order parts or you’ll have even more of a delay. Invest a little bit of time now to make sure you have the right parts to maintain your machine. 

The only downtime you should experience is scheduled downtime that you can prepare for. Regular maintenance reduces emergency repairs and can save you thousands of dollars a day. Scheduled downtime means you don’t need to pay employees when they cannot work due to a downed machine.

If a technician is needed for your routine maintenance, they can also look at other machines on site and help prevent further issues. 

Take a break, reduce downtime in the future

As a quarry or fabrication facility owner, we know your worst nightmare is a downed machine. One of the best ways to get the most out of your facility is by ensuring you’re optimizing the use of your quarry machines. 

Take the time now to schedule maintenance with a certified technician to ensure all of your machines are running safely and efficiently. The last thing any of us wants is for you to see the ice melt and sun come out only to reveal a broken machine that will further delay your operation.

Now could also be the right time to evaluate your machinery and look to make replacements or upgrades. We can help you find the right machine for the job.
