Texas construction sites rely on lift equipment like scissor lifts, boom lifts, and telehandlers to keep operations efficient and safe. These machines play a crucial role in lifting both personnel and materials, but like any heavy equipment, they need regular maintenance and occasional repairs to function optimally.

The Challenge: Tough Conditions on Construction Sites
Recently, we were called to a busy Texas construction site experiencing downtime due to lift equipment issues. The harsh Texas environment heat, dust, and continuous use can take a toll on even the best-maintained machines. In this case, the equipment had electrical and hydraulic problems that were slowing down operations.

The main issue was a failing ignition switch, preventing the machine from starting reliably. Additionally, a worn-out gear hose was causing hydraulic fluid leaks, which reduced efficiency and posed a safety hazard. Understanding the urgency, we got to work immediately to fix the issues and minimize downtime.

Diagnosing and Resolving the Issue
Upon arriving on-site, we inspected the affected lifts and identified the faulty ignition switch and hydraulic leak. We replaced the ignition switch with a high-quality component to restore reliable operation. For the hydraulic leak, we installed a new gear hose to prevent pressure loss and fluid contamination.

After completing the repairs, we conducted extensive testing to ensure the lifts were back in optimal working condition. The construction crew was able to resume work without major delays, keeping the project on track.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Equipment failures can lead to costly delays and safety risks. Regular maintenance, including hydraulic system checks, electrical inspections, and component replacements, is essential for keeping lifts in top shape.
