What’s Your Go-To Routine for Keeping Heavy Equipment in Top Shape?

Hey everyone

As someone who owns a diverse fleet of heavy equipment used for construction and land clearing projects, I’ve learned that how you maintain your machines directly affects your uptime, performance, and bottom line.

Over the years, I’ve built a basic system that works well for us:

  1. Daily walkarounds
  2. Weekly operator feedback
  3. Monthly full inspections
  4. Digital service logs for every machine
  5. Strict use of quality parts only (no cutting corners)

But I know there’s always room to improve — and I’d love to learn from others in the field.

What maintenance habits or systems have worked best for you?
Any tools or apps you’d recommend for tracking service and equipment hours?


Let’s swap tips and experiences — I’m always looking for ways to improve how we take care of our fleet.


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
