Take the hassle out of routine maintenance

service-8

If you need help with properly changing oil and servicing your machine, contact Thompson’s Preventive Maintenance team. Take the hassle out of routine lube maintenance, environmental disposal of waste products, and lost downtime by enrolling your Cat® and non-Cat equipment for an on-site PM service. We can offer you flexible scheduling of PM service around your peak hours of operation. Our Cat trained technicians with extensive equipment knowledge will perform the service to factory specifications on-site. Our trucks are equipped to handle waste disposal of oils and filters from the PM service.

A routine PM service may be a one-time service or scheduled by our PM coordinator to be performed monthly for a set fee. Our coordinator will accommodate the PM service around the utilization of your equipment to save you time and money.

Components of a Construction or Heavy Equipment Preventive Maintenance Program

Whether you need preventive maintenance for earth-moving equipment, track loaders or another type of machine, we have an established process for PM. Our preventive maintenance visits will involve the following steps.

Visual Inspection

Your PM technician will begin by inspecting your equipment’s outside and inside appearance. They can learn quite a bit about its condition by looking under the machine and inside of the engine compartment.

Oil and Fluid Changes

Clean fluids keep your equipment operating at peak performance and reduce any associated wear. Your PM expert will change fluids according to manufacturer recommendations and replace their filters.

Electrical System Maintenance

Your equipment’s electrical systems affect its performance as much as its mechanical parts. During PM, your technician will check and repair wires, bulbs and other electrical system components. Since electrical issues have fewer on-site repairs available, electrical system PM can save you time and money in the future.

Tire and Track Service

Well-maintained tracks and tires ensure that you can control your equipment effectively. Thompson Machinery’s PM technicians will look for any tire or track wear and make the appropriate repairs or replacements.

Safety Item Inspection

During a PM visit, your technician will also check the safety components of your equipment. They will make sure that you have functioning seatbelts, lights, alarms and horns.

Documentation

As a Thompson Machinery PM client, you will receive detailed maintenance records that you can access online. This information will help you get a higher resale value if you decide to sell your equipment in the future.
