Revive stored asphalt pavers efficiently with our recommission guide. Includes templates and KPIs to address failure modes and minimize downtime during reactivation.
Safely return asphalt pavers to service after storage.
Storage recommission is a process to prepare asphalt pavers for operation after prolonged storage, supported by vibration analysis and condition monitoring for severity assessment.
This process includes fluid checks, battery testing, and mechanical inspections, aligning with failure probability models to ensure operational readiness.
| Component | Check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Fluids | Level and condition | Replace if Degraded |
| Battery | Charge test | Recharge or Replace |
| Tracks | Pressure check | Inflate if Low |
| Engine | Start-up test | Verify Operation |
| Screed | Alignment check | Verify Operation |

Get answers to frequently asked questions about implementing storage recommission
Scope: drain stale fuel, replace filters, top oil/coolant, inspect belts/hoses, charge/test battery, set track pressure, bleed hydraulics, lube pivots, perform functional checks; trend noises with vibration analysis to flag faults.
Usually 1–2 hours, depending on storage duration, climate, and machine condition: charge battery, top fluids, prime fuel, pre-start checks, warm-up and leak check, load test; capture metrics in condition monitoring.
Expect $250–$500 depending on equipment, labor rates, storage length, and parts (filters, fluids, battery). Quantify payback with ROI calculator by modeling downtime avoided, failures prevented, and component life improvements estimated.
Yes. Use REST APIs or webhooks to sync recommission checklists, photos, signatures, and meter readings with CMMS/EAM; trigger telematics alerts for thresholds, auto-create work orders, update history, and notify supervisors.
Provide 4–6 hours covering safety, storage hazards, fluid replacement, battery testing/charging, priming, hydraulic bleeding, calibration, documentation, photo evidence, escalation thresholds, and PPE. Include hands-on practice, supervisor sign-offs, microlearning, and audits.
