Telescopic Boom Lift Repair and Maintenance

Damaged Hydraulic Lines – Without proper routine maintenance, hydraulic lines can become frayed. Hydraulic lines are damaged by vibrations and other movements caused by a lack of reinforcement. Frayed hydraulic lines can be dangerous for the operator and pedestrians around as it is likely to route improperly. To avoid this, have telescopic boom lifts experts reinforce the lines with protective clamps and brackets in order to secure the lines properly, ensuring worker safety.

Hydraulic Fluid Contamination – Contamination of hydraulic fluids within the hydraulic system poses great danger and aerial lift failure. This occurs when impurities contaminate the hydraulic fluid. For instance, dirt and debris that enters the hydraulic pump can block the system, preventing the flow of essential fluids.

Contamination ruins the fluid’s purity and viscosity, causing metal parts to grind against one another and disabling the engine from functioning properly. To prevent this, make sure to have your telescopic boom lifts regularly inspected after every operation.

Hydraulic Seal Failure – One major cause of aerial lift mechanical malfunctions and system failures involves hydraulic seal breakdown. Since hydraulic seals are usually made of soft rubber material, they may break under excessive hot working conditions, and repeated exposure to impurities and chemicals.

To prevent seal failure, make sure to have your telescopic boom lift seals fortified with heat-resistant protective materials that can withstand even the harshest working conditions.
