Every machine passes a 40-point inspection before it leaves our yard. Here is what we check — and why it matters for your schedule.
Return inspection, the same day
When a machine comes back, it is compared against its dispatch photos before it even cools down. New damage is logged with the hirer while the evidence is fresh; wear items are measured, not eyeballed.
Fluids, filters, and grease
Engine oil, hydraulics, coolant, and DEF are topped or changed to schedule, and every grease point is hit. Roughly half of all field failures start as skipped fluid checks — we refuse to ship that risk to your site.
Undercarriage and hydraulics
Track tension, rollers, pins, bushings, hoses, and couplers get measured against wear limits. Anything inside 20% of the limit is replaced now, not "monitored" — monitoring is how breakdowns happen on your Friday pour.
Safety gear and paperwork
Beacons, alarms, fire extinguishers, mirrors, and decals are verified, and the machine leaves with a fresh inspection sheet you sign at handover. That paper trail protects both of us if anything is ever disputed.
The result: a fleet that averages 98% availability and a breakdown line that mostly handles other companies' machines. Rent from a yard that maintains like this, and uptime stops being a gamble.
