Common Causes of Excavator Component Damage

Excavators can become damaged in many ways, especially when they are used daily. It is helpful to be aware of the most common causes of excavator damage so that you know how to prevent and detect these issues. A few of the most common causes include:

  • Wear and tear: The most common cause of excavator damage is simply wear and tear from continuous use. Heavy usage will put great strain on various moving parts, which is why our component maintenance and repair service is important for preventing equipment breakdown.
  • Corrosion: Excavators are often exposed to harsh environments, which can lead to corrosion and weakened metal parts of the machine.
