Hi! I am an engineering student who is super passionate about heavy equipment machinery and I was hoping to maybe get some of my questions answered here as I have no expertise in operating heavy equipment.
1> Is there a standard pre-operative check that mechanics and operators do regardless of the machine model or brand?
2> What is the main difference between the routine checks operators do before operating machinery and the check that the mechanics do in the pre-use inspection check? >Is there one uniform check that everyone does regardless if they are a mechanic or operator?
3> During these checks how often is the data indicated on the cab dashboard used? Is it used to diagnose sensor problems or is there some other indicator?
4> Is there anything that comes to mind that can be added or any information that can be made more transparent to help understand the uptime or downtime of a machine - and decrease ultimate cost and frustrations?
Thank you for welcoming me.
