High-Load Loader Daily Maintenance Checklist: Follow These 7 Steps to Extend Service Life by 25%​

Date: Jul 03, 2025

Under high-load working conditions, the performance of a high-load loader declines 30% faster than standard equipment—hydraulic system wear, sensor deviations, and loose structures... If not maintained in time, these issues can lead to reduced efficiency or even unexpected downtime. Today, we share 7 targeted maintenance steps to help you extend the service life of your high-load loader by 25%.

Step 1: Check Hydraulic Oil Daily (Core for High-Load Performance)

Before starting the machine, observe the color and transparency of the hydraulic oil. If it’s turbid or contains metal particles (a common issue under high-load friction), replace the filter immediately and refill with the same specification oil. The hydraulic system is the "power heart" of a high-load loader, and its cleanliness directly affects lifting stability.

Step 2: Calibrate Weighing Sensors Weekly (Key for Precise Operations)

Use standard weights to test the weighing function of the forks. If the error exceeds 5%, contact after-sales service for calibration. In high-load operations, sensor deviations can cause overloading risks and shorten the lifespan of structural components.

Steps 3-5: Monthly Reinforcement + Quarterly Dust Cleaning + Semi-Annual Filter Replacement

· Monthly: Check and tighten frame connection bolts (vibration under high load can loosen them).

· Quarterly: Clean the engine radiator (dust accumulation leads to abnormal oil temperature).

· Semi-annually: Replace air filter elements (in dusty environments, dirty filters can increase fuel consumption by 15%).

Step 6: Listen for Abnormal Noises Daily (Fault Warning Signs)

After startup, if the hydraulic pump emits a "buzzing" muffled sound, it may indicate oil circuit blockage; if the forks make noise during lifting, the pulley set is likely worn. These sounds are the high-load loader’s "distress signals"—detecting them early can save tens of thousands in repair costs.

Step 7: Monitor Oil Temperature in High Heat (Prevent Overheating Damage)

After continuous operation for 2 hours, use an infrared thermometer to check the hydraulic oil temperature. If it exceeds 85°C, shut down for cooling (under high load, every 10°C increase in oil temperature doubles the oxidation rate of the hydraulic fluid).

Common Fault Emergency Solutions: If the loader suddenly fails to lift, first check if the hydraulic oil level is insufficient; if the forks sink slowly, the multi-way valve seal may be aging.
