For drivers and operators, the 250-hour service ensures your compactor runs smoothly by addressing wear in critical systems, reducing breakdowns and keeping your waste management operations on track.
Proactive 250-hour maintenance to keep your equipment running at peak performance.
The 250-hour service is a critical maintenance milestone for compactors, focusing on in-depth inspections and adjustments to prevent major failures in high-stress waste management environments.
Building on 100-hour service checks, this service targets hydraulic systems, structural components, and wear parts like compaction blades to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
| Component | Task | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Pump | Flow & pressure test | High |
| Compaction Blades | Alignment & wear check | Medium |
| Frame Welds | Crack inspection | Critical |
| Control Valves | Functional test | High |
| Bearings | Lubrication & clearance | Low |
Proactive 250-hour servicing minimizes downtime, reduces repair costs, and ensures safe, efficient operations for waste management fleets.
Prevent 70% of major failures by addressing wear early, building on weekly checklist insights.
Save up to $10,000 per unit annually through extended component life, aligned with 500-hour service plans.
