Maintaining your equipment is essential for ensuring its longevity and maximizing its value. A comprehensive maintenance program not only keeps your machines operating efficiently, but also enhances their equity and borrowing power, which can be leveraged for future business or equipment loans.

To implement an effective equipment maintenance program, follow these steps:

1. Familiarize yourself with the warranty guidelines for each piece of equipment.
2. Keep detailed records of all maintenance and repairs.
3. Adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended equipment maintenance schedules.
4. Regularly inspect the equipment for signs of wear and tear.
5. Involve the operators or drivers in the maintenance program to ensure they understand how to properly care for the equipment.
6. Inspect the space around the equipment to ensure it is clean and free from debris.
7. Keep a stock of frequently replaced parts on hand to minimize downtime.
8. Understand the costs associated with your equipment maintenance program.

By implementing a solid maintenance program, you can prolong the lifespan of your equipment and maintain its value for longer. When it does eventually come time to purchase new equipment, RCR is here to provide the commercial equipment financing you need.
