Carrying out preventive maintenance on a heavy vehicle is not only essential for the longevity of a truck, but also to ensure the safety of drivers and avoid downtime due to mechanical breakdown, especially with winter approaching!
When you purchase a heavy-duty vehicle, you'll receive an operator's manual with recommended maintenance intervals. We suggest that you follow the recommendations given, since, overall, regular maintenance carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular application, will help to avoid potential breakdowns.
Time is money
Even if the vehicle is new, the sooner problems are detected, the quicker and easier they can be resolved. A simple loose bolt can cause serious damage to a vehicle!
A poorly maintained truck or one with the wrong parts can lead to serious problems on other parts of the truck, such as progressive damage, and can cause a very long downtime, hence the importance of choosing quality parts to keep your truck on the road. It's no secret that a stopped truck is a loss of revenue.
Ensuring your truck's warranty
To take full advantage of your truck's warranty, here are a few elements to check regularly: oil filters, air conditioning, bolt tightening, battery, suspension tightening, to name just a few. As an example, something as simple as checking tire pressure can help save fuel.
Winter is just around the corner! Don't forget to carry out all the checks you need to drive with peace of mind during the winter season.
