Whether it’s a boom truck, utility vehicle, or a plain old heavy-duty diesel truck there are plenty of things that could go wrong thanks to the various interconnected systems that these vehicles possess. That’s why it’s essential to catch things before they go wrong with preventive maintenance.

Oil & Fluid
Your oil, fluid, and associated filters are essential to the more mechanical aspects of your vehicle. The vehicle’s oil & fluid ensures the various parts are properly lubricated to prevent friction. Without proper lubrication, the mechanical parts can overheat or grind against each other, producing debris which can impact the performance of othe parts of your truck. BoomTech’s team of qualified technicians will ensure all your filters are replaced with the best on the market, and that all oil & fluid topped up to proper levels.
Boom Trucks
Due to the nature of boom trucks and the additional systems they possess compared to other diesel trucks, they require more in-depth preventative maintenance. In particular, making sure any potential issues with their hydraulic systems are caught beforehand is not just a matter of preventing productivity and revenue loss but also a matter of safety. Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure to do their job and any failures can cause catastrophic damage to not just the vehicle but also any surrounding individuals. These failures can be either mechanical or the hydraulic fluid itself. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated and this debris can cause damage to the hydraulic mechanism introducing system failure. Mechanically, your system can also suffer from sideloading; this occurs when the piston road is forced out of its intended path of travel. This can cause seal failures and add contamenants to the hydraulic fluid in the form of metal shavings and debris from the system’s scored metal components.
Similarly, a boom truck’s electrical systems are not just responsible for the general running of the vehicle but also for the control of primary and secondary systems like the truck’s boom and bucket. If these fail, they can place the operator and others in danger that could have been avoided.
The team at BoomTech is fully qualified to inspect these systems and ensure they are running at peak performance at all times to prevent these failures. We have the parts and the know-how to properly address any faults that could be a sign of further problems. We can teach you what to look out for while on the job so you’ll know when the time is right to bring your vehicle in for preventative maintenance. Safety is paramount when it comes to boom trucks, so that’s why BoomTech is the best in the business.
