Maintaining a fleet in peak condition is usually an ongoing concern on the construction site. Fleet managers are responsible for ensuring that all equipment is running at tip top condition and that downtime and service repairs are kept to an absolute minimum.

Why Is Premium Diesel Better?

One factor which makes an important difference is the use of premium diesel fuel, this usually comes with a comprehensive additive package which will maximise performance, helping to keep exhaust systems clean whilst maintaining the upkeep of the engine.

Most types of vehicles and construction equipment come with recommended manufacturing oil change intervals which will invariably have been determined through extensive testing.  Predetermined intervals can only be relied on as an approximate guide, as they are unable to take into consideration specific operating conditions. Many contractors are now attempting to optimise oil drainage intervals, to prevent oil from being drained either prematurely, or too late.

Diesel engines are used in a wide range of different industries including the agricultural industry where they are renowned their ability to provide a cost-effective solution in terms of power, efficiency, performance and durability. In the agriculture industry diesel engines power the majority of agricultural equipment across the world – using the diesel engine modal for the entire farming chain process, from planting to looking after the crops, through to harvest and delivery.

How Do Air Compressors Work?

An air compressor is a type of machine which converts normal air into a denser, high pressurised version. Compressed air is stored under a pressure which is greater than atmospheric pressure. 

An industrial air filter is a device specifically designed to prevent any molecular contaminants or solid particles from entering an engine.

Industrial engines require clean air in order to maintain and maximise performance – industrial environments are subject to a number of pollutants such as dust, wear particles, emissions etc. all of which can have a negative impact on the overall performance of the engine.

Safety Measures

Cold snaps of freezing weather, snow and ice brings with it a whole host of hazards to the construction site. Putting workers, operations material and equipment at risk – resulting in costly and time-consuming repairs and replacement. To ensure safety and production over the winter period there are several precautions and countermeasures which can be put into place. 

The festive season is well upon us and all over the UK construction sites are preparing to shut down for the Christmas break. The long dark nights and poor winter weather conditions typical of January and February, where plummeting temperatures, rain, snow ice and high winds can all result in further temporary shut downs at the construction site.

For over 50 years now, Japanese born company Yanmar have enjoyed a position as world leaders in the development of compact construction equipment. Significantly contributing to the development of infrastructure and offering the industry a range of new solutions with its superior quality products and services.
