Contamination doesn't stay in one place. Once debris enters the hydraulic system, contamination can circulate throughout the truck and accelerate wear on critical components.
- Contamination: Dirt, moisture, and wear particles enter the hydraulic system.
- Filter Restriction: The filter becomes less effective and contaminants continue circulating.
- Pump Wear: Hydraulic performance begins to decline as internal wear increases.
- Component Damage: Valves, cylinders, and other hydraulic components may be affected.
- Downtime and Repair Costs: Minor maintenance issues can lead to major repairs and lost productivity.
