Preventative Maintenance

The key to minimizing mechanical breakdowns and service calls is to maintain the equipment. Regular maintenance is vital to the optimal operation of the machine.  We offer a variety of Preventative Maintenance Programs to suit each customer’s needs. 

• Scheduled machine maintenance minimizes the loss of productivity, reduces mechanical issues, excessive wear and unplanned shut downs.
• PM’s extend the service life of your new equipment purchase
• Planned maintenance intervals are more cost effective to maintain versus fix and repair.
• Prevent common hydraulic and electrical issues with regular inspection and routine hydraulic fluid replacement and filter changes.
• A properly maintained machine is safer to operate and protects the customer from parts failure that could compromise operation.
• Special programs are available for your established equipment to inspect overall system condition, identify parts replacement and recommend a service and maintenance level. 

The standard levels of maintenance include (6) Six Week Maintenance: greasing all points, confirming all buttons and gauges are operating properly, and checking fluid levels and filters. Six Month Maintenance includes the services in the 6 week maintenance plus the technician will change the return oil filter, check and tighten all bolts. Twelve Month Maintenance includes everything in the six week and six month maintenance, plus a full machine overview, checking all hoses and fittings for signs of wear or abrasions, and changing out the filters and the hydraulic fluids.  Contact Cherry’s Industrial Service Department at 847-423-6563 or email [email protected] to discuss maintenance of your system.

The current business climate requires that you maximize your investment more than ever with little or no down time. In production environments material handling equipment tends to get lost in the shuffle and may not get the critical attention needed to keep it in top working condition equipment. How do you keep your equipment from aging prematurely? When do you do maintenance? Is it time to replace, repair or upgrade it? These are all questions we get from our customers. And we have answers.
