For technicians, storage recommission ensures compactors are safely returned to service after long-term storage, verifying critical systems to prevent failures and ensure compliance in waste management operations.
Comprehensive checks to safely recommission compactors from storage.
Storage recommission is a thorough inspection and maintenance process to prepare compactors for operation after extended storage, ensuring safety, functionality, and compliance.
This process extends beyond daily checklists, addressing potential degradation in hydraulic systems, electrical components, and structural integrity to prevent failures upon restart.
| Component | Task | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic System | Flush & pressure test | Critical |
| Electrical System | Diagnostics & continuity | High |
| Frame & Welds | Visual & NDT inspection | High |
| Lubrication Points | Relubricate all zerks | Medium |
| Safety Systems | Functional verification | Critical |
Storage recommission ensures reliable compactor performance, safety, and compliance for technicians returning equipment to service.
A structured process ensures compactors are safely and efficiently returned to service after storage, minimizing risks and ensuring compliance.
This workflow integrates data from safety critical inspections to ensure all systems are operational before use.
| Step | Duration | Key Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pre-Recommission Prep | 20 min | Review storage logs & tools |
| 2. Hydraulic System Flush | 30 min | Flush & test pressure |
| 3. Electrical Diagnostics | 25 min | Check wiring & controls |
| 4. Structural Inspection | 20 min | NDT & weld checks |
| 5. Documentation | 15 min | Log findings & compliance |

Answers to key questions for technicians recommissioning compactors from storage
Key components include hydraulic systems, electrical systems, frame welds, lubrication points, and safety systems to address storage-related degradation.
A storage recommission takes 90-120 minutes with HVI's digital checklists, covering system flushes, diagnostics, and documentation. Manual processes may take up to 150 minutes.
Unlike daily checklists or 100-hour services, storage recommission focuses on reversing storage-related degradation, such as fluid contamination and corrosion.
HVI provides digital checklists, telematics-driven alerts, photo documentation, and automated compliance reports, reducing recommission time by 30% and ensuring accuracy for technicians.
Track system readiness rates, hydraulic pressure stability, recommission completion times, compliance audit scores, and failure prevention metrics to optimize the process.
