What does a hydraulic service include?
A standard hydraulic service typically includes visual inspection, fluid level and quality checks, hose and seal inspections, and performance testing for pressure and flow. The service may also involve tightening fittings, replacing worn components, checking for internal leaks, and cleaning filters or strainers. The goal is to ensure the hydraulic system operates safely and efficiently under load.
How often should hydraulic equipment be serviced?
The frequency of hydraulic servicing depends on the type of equipment, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. Heavy-use machinery may require servicing every 250–500 hours of operation, while lighter-duty systems might be inspected every 1,000 hours. Regular servicing helps detect wear and contamination early, reducing the risk of system failure or reduced efficiency.
What are common signs that a hydraulic system needs servicing?
Signs include slower response times, loss of pressure, visible leaks, unusual noises, overheating, and inconsistent movement. Other indicators include fluid discolouration, jerky operation, or difficulty holding load. These issues can be caused by fluid contamination, worn components, seal failure, or internal damage and should be addressed promptly through inspection and repair.
