Consider repairing rather than replacing
Find a technology that can repair a machine or equipment with the least possible impact on the environment. At SEKISUI, our trenchless spiral wound pipe does just that. Our SPR ™ EX system has been used to repair the city of San Diego's sewers for two decades. This solution saves costs and helps reduce the city's 2001 sewage discharge by 90%.

Examine usage to determine maintenance frequency
The cost of equipment can be quite high and reliable. At Charter Capital, we understand the importance of having the financial freedom to buy and maintain your equipment. Therefore, you want to ensure the longevity of a machine taking into account the frequency of use and the environment in which it will be used. These factors can mean that you need to adjust your maintenance plan. The manual provided by the company is an excellent reference point if you need to perform maintenance, but how often you use the device and in what environment are important points in determining whether or not you need to adjust this schedule.
Carey Wilbur, Charter Capital
Assign monitoring tasks
While the obvious answer is maintenance, do your best to extend the life of professional equipment and don't overdo it. This is especially true for machines like copiers, which can also help reduce your company's carbon footprint. However, stick to a maintenance schedule and let someone in your company take control so you don't get abandoned. You can control things like performance, cleanliness, and other types of maintenance.

Hire a quality mechanic
One of the best ways to extend the life of any machine or plant in our factory is to hire the best mechanics for the job. By hiring the right people to maintain your machines, you will maximize the life of your machines. If you hire a poor quality mechanic, you run the risk of improperly maintaining the equipment and losing thousands of dollars in the long run.

Configure maintenance systems
In the military, every week starts with the fleet Monday. All the staff in the fleet undergo extensive training and we start the week with checks and preventive maintenance services. These controls and services ensure that our devices are ready for use at all times. The point to remember here is to have a system for performing maintenance and then assigning time to that system on a regular basis.

Extend your warranty
In our factory, one way to extend the life of a machine or system is to extend the warranty. The extended warranty ensures that the parts are covered under this warranty if something should happen to the device. Having all of your equipment under warranty is convenient, and the upfront cost is well worth it.

Invest in maintenance
When it comes to your equipment, maintenance costs are something you don't want to compromise on. This means you don't have to skip regular maintenance and make sure your technicians have the skills and resources to look after your equipment. By employing trustworthy personnel, you can avoid future problems from negligent maintenance.

Check for signs of use
One of the best tips to extending or extending the life of your equipment is to check it for any signs of wear and tear. High temperatures, shocks and friction can lead to machine breakdowns in heavy machines. Unevenness can be caused by incorrect handling and accidents by the operator. Extended use and improper lubrication can result in high temperatures. If you notice wear and tear on a moving part of a heavy piece of equipment, quickly perform scheduled maintenance to replace the worn part.
