The Advantages of Undercarriage Care Around half of all machine maintenance costs are spent on undercarriage repairs. If you perform routine maintenance on your equipment, it will require fewer major repairs. Maintaining the undercarriage will significantly increase the value of your equipment if you ever plan to sell it, as well as help you stay on budget. It will, above all, help to ensure the safety of your coworkers and employees. You can find damaged parts or leaks by inspecting the undercarriage on a daily basis. Basic Undercarriage Maintenance Tips Every day, make it a habit to perform multiple checks. Inspect the undercarriage first if the equipment was used that day. Examine the vehicle for any broken or worn parts, as well as any dirt-caked areas. This is also a good time to double-check the track tension to make sure it's not too loose or too tight. Clean the undercarriage carefully after performing the checks. Any dirt, snow, or other debris that has accumulated in the tracks or undercarriage should be removed. This is especially important in the winter when debris can freeze inside the tracks, resulting in poor performance.
