Tips For Effective Tree Removal Equipment Maintenance

By April Briggs


The effectiveness of any machine or equipment depends on your level of maintenance. Proper attention of your tree removal equipment reduces operating expenses and guarantees excellent value for money. It also extends the lifespan of your tools beyond protecting the operators, workers and all people coming into contact from injuries. It safeguards your work environment from destruction.

All machinery and tools should be thoroughly cleaned after use. Cleaning gets rid of oily substances, soil and other leftovers after a long day at work. These contaminants corrode the machines which reduces their lifespan and reduces their effectiveness. The right substances should be used during cleaning to avoid further damage. Before storage, they should be wiped dry and kept under dry conditions.

Climbing ropes and accompanying kits require regular attention to identify areas of weaknesses that can endanger the lives of users. They include fluffy ends, loose connections and cuts. Such areas should be repaired or a replacement found before resuming work. Use a rope or climbing kit that can sustain the weight of the person or equipment being hoisted. Old ropes need to be replaced. The ropes must also be cleaned and dried after use to prevent decomposition.

It is not optional to oil moving parts. Excess friction wears out these areas besides causing inefficiency and thus slowing down your work. Tools that are worn out become expensive to manage and will eventually increase your cost of doing business. There are different oils for each section depending on its operating mechanism. This oil must also be changed on regular basis to guarantee quality and efficient service.

The efficiency of your chisels, blades and cutting belts is greatly enhanced when you sharpen them regularly. This reduces your energy demands which has a direct impact on operating cost. Sharpening the tools also enhances precision and reduces wastage of materials when cutting. Sharpening procedures and tools are indicated in the operation manual.

Ensure that all tools are used for their rightful purpose. There are special tools for wooden, metallic, earth and concrete surfaces, among others. Chisels and blades used in the wrong places are exposed to damage. This will reduce their effectiveness and in other cases cause complete damage.

Employ qualified operators who are both licensed and accredited to run the machines. This will protect them from damage as well as safeguard the lives of people working in the same environment. You will be saved from expensive litigation out of injuries and having to replace parts or overhaul the machines due to misuse.

Make repairs within the shortest time and in a professional manner. This is best achieved through close monitoring after every assignment. Before deployment, ensure that the tools or machines are in the best working condition. Whenever you need to repair or replace any equipment, consult an expert. Use the highest quality parts to enjoy long life and excellent value for money.

Any machine or tool used in tree removal will only perform efficiently if it is maintained as required. Working with professional operators and repairers extends its lifespan and reduces your cost of operation. Follow maintenance instructions issued by the manufacturer at all times.
