Monthy Safety Inspections

If you own a hydraulic box dumper, chances are your manual recommends a monthly safety inspection of the unit. When looking for the usual check of hydraulic fluid, oil, and wear and tear on your the unit's hoses, it's important to check for excess dirt or debris that could interfere with normal operation. You should also inspect the bolts and other fasteners on the unit to make sure they aren't loose or coming loose. The same goes for casters, caster bearings, and mounts for portable units. Stationary box dumpers should be inspected for cracks in the concrete where the dumper is anchored; those cracks are a sign that your anchor bolts may be coming loose.
