Do you want your betonisekoittimien, cement trucktai ready mix truck to work safely ja last longer? I can help! At CLW GROUP, we build strong trucks, like the best sementtimestarin, for you. But to keep them running, you need a solid concrete mixer truck maintenance checklist.
Let’s walk step by step. I will show you how you can make your trucks safe, strong, and ready for every job!
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Have you heard this?
If you skip your concrete mixer truck’s daily inspection, you could lose money, time, and even put drivers in danger.
See this table below:
| What Happens With PM | What Happens Without PM |
|---|---|
| Lower chance of breakdowns | More breakdowns, lost jobs |
| Trucks last longer | Trucks wear out fast |
| Truck runs better and uses less fuel | Truck wastes fuel |
| Fewer accidents and safer roads | Danger from bad brakes or tires |
| Lower yearly costs (save up to 20%) | Spending more fixing broken parts |
Reference: Fleet Management Association, industry data
With good care, trucks can work 20-30% more days in a year! Safety checks on jarrut, 19. renkaat, and the alusta can stop many road accidents. Not only that—poor drum cleaning can add weight, which means your truck might carry less, or cost more to run.
Your Daily Mixer Truck Inspection Checklist
Every day before work, use this easy checklist. You’ll find problems fast and avoid big repair bills!
- Check fluid levels: Engine oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid, brake fluid, DEF, power steering fluid
- Look at tires: Are they full? Is the tread deep enough? Any damage?
- Check lights: Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, hazard lights, work lights
- Test brakes: Listen for leaks, check air pressure
- Steering system: Does the steering feel normal?
- Clean mirrors and glass
- See if wipers work and washer fluid is full
- Safety gear: Fire extinguisher and first aid kit
- Leaks: Look for oil, coolant or hydraulic fluid under the truck
- Drum & chute: No cracks, no big concrete buildup
- Washdown system: Is the water tank full? Does the pump work?
- All controls: Make sure they work inside and outside the cab
- Horn and backing alarm are loud
Reference: Concrete truck operator manuals, CLW GROUP service guides
Weekly Concrete Mixer Truck Tasks
Some jobs you only do once a week. They keep parts greased and smooth:
- Grease all points: use the right kind for your truck’s chassis, rollers, and bearings
- Check drum rollers and blades: Look for wear or noise, grease as needed
- Inspect chute assembly: Check hinges and pins
- Look at the hydraulic system: No hose leaks
- Air system: Drain tanks and listen for leaks
- Check suspension: Look for broken parts
- Driveshaft and U-joints: No extra movement, no squeaks
- Clean the radiator
- Wash the outside: Keeps rust away and your truck looking sharp for clients
Monthly Maintenance Procedures
- Check the battery: Clean terminals
- Belts and hoses: Look for cracks or loose belts
- Exhaust system: No holes or leaks
- Frame and crossmembers: No rust or cracks
- Brakes: Pads, drums, adjusters—make sure no one gets hurt!
- Wheel bearings: No strange sounds
- Inspect PTO and driveline
- Review logbook: Did you record every fix and service?
Annual/Scheduled Major Service
- Full oil and filter change (engine, gearbox, hydraulic)
- Coolant flush
- Fuel and air filter change
- Transmission and differential fluids replaced
- Check all brake parts
- Lubricate everything: No squeaky corners!
- Full frame and suspension check
- DOT-tarkastus
Companies with good ennaltaehkäisevä kunnossapito plans cut costs up to 18% a year!
Special Best Practices
- Wash the drum after every pour: No one likes heavy, stuck concrete. It wastes fuel.
- Good records help: Did you fix a brake last week? Write it down.
- Operator vs. mechanic: Drivers do the easy checks. Mechanics fix what’s broken.
- Call a pro: If you find a big leak, don’t risk it!
- Be safe: Use PPE, proper lockout, and ask for help if inside the drum
