Safe, Quick, and Easy Servicing
Maintaining your Volvo EC200D is essential if you want to keep it in its peak condition at all times. Making sure that your equipment gets the service it needs will also allow you to get a return on your investment and complete your project with little to no downtime.
You don’t always need to bring your machine to a service center every time it’s due for maintenance. For simple servicing, you can do it yourself.
However, you might find it difficult to do so, especially if you don’t have any experience in maintaining or repairing equipment. Trying to learn to do it yourself may also be daunting because of different safety concerns.
Fortunately, the Volvo EC200D has been designed to make the process of servicing easier and safer for you. It has been built with anti-slip plates, ground-level service access, and centralized lubrication points, which allow you to access your equipment’s engine and parts without going through too much hassle.
Anti-Slip Plates
Moving around your excavator while servicing it might seem like an easy task. However, if your staff members are working on a muddy or wet job site, they are at risk of slipping and falling. This may cause serious injuries, and in some cases, it might even lead to death.
To prevent any accidents from happening, the Volvo EC200D has been equipped with anti-slip plates that prevent anyone from slipping while working on the machine. These plates are located in strategic positions, such as the steps and near the engine.
The Volvo EC200D’s anti-slip plates are steel, punched plates that effectively channel mud and water away from your work area. This design is more effective than the small studs that other machines have, which can be easily covered by mud or collect water.
Ground-Level Service Access
Repairing or maintaining a piece of heavy equipment often requires an individual to climb the machine or use a ladder to reach the engine. Although this has been the norm, it can still pose risks to the person servicing the excavator. They might slip and fall while trying to climb the machine, or they might drop something on themselves while working on the engine.
With the Volvo EC200D, you don’t need to worry about these risks because it has been designed with ground-level service access in mind. You can easily reach all the important parts of the machine without having to put yourself in a dangerous position.
Centralized Lubrication Points
Another way the Volvo EC200D is designed for quick and easy servicing is through its centralized lubrication points. With this feature, you won’t have to go around your machine several times just to make sure that every greasing point has been attended to.
This design feature allows you to save time and effort when servicing your excavator. Instead of accessing various hatches every time you need to maintain your machine, you can simply go to one central location and get everything done quickly.
Long Service Interval
The Volvo EC200D is also designed to require long service intervals, which means that you won’t have to maintain your machine too often. This allows for better machine availability and increased uptime, ultimately leading to maximized productivity.
Having long service intervals means you can also save your resources, such as time, money, and effort. You won’t have to bring your machine to the shop too often, and you can use that saved time to work on other important tasks.
