The concrete mixer truck, designed specifically for transporting concrete, requires diligent daily maintenance to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Neglecting proper maintenance can adversely affect both the functionality and lifespan of the mixer truck. The following insights on the maintenance of mixer trucks will be provided by a manufacturer specializing in concrete transport vehicles.
1. Initially, for a newly acquired vehicle, it is essential to inspect the tightness of bolts in various locations, including those connecting the tank head to the reducer, the reducer base to the front desk, the wheelbase to the frame, and the auxiliary beam to the frame. Regular inspections should be conducted monthly thereafter.
2. Prior to operating the vehicle each day, verify that the lubricating oil on the joint surfaces of the roller and raceway is not dry. Timely replenishment is necessary to ensure effective lubrication. Additionally, check the oil levels in the cooler and reducer before starting the vehicle, ensuring that the oil level indicator is within the specified range. It is also crucial to inspect the sealing of the hydraulic oil circuit to maintain a clean and sealed hydraulic system, preventing contamination from dust and water that could impair system functionality or cause damage.
3. At a minimum, clean the debris from the supporting roller and raceway once a month. Furthermore, lubricate the supporting roller by injecting grease through the designated nipple to ensure that the transmission shaft receives adequate lubrication at least once a month.
