The 5 warning signs of an imminent failure on construction machinery

Construction equipment diagnostics

Have you ever heard a strange noise on your excavator and thought, “It’s nothing, It’ll be fine”?

That’s often the start of a breakdown!
On a construction site, ignoring small signs can quickly immobilize a machine and cost hours of production.

Luckily, with Jaltest INFO Web, it’s now possible to detect, diagnose, and repair problems before they become critical.

Why Construction Machinery Diagnostics Are Essential

Construction equipment (excavators, loaders, bulldozers, cranes) operates under extreme conditions: dust, vibration, and heat.

Even a minor hydraulic or electronic failure can halt an entire project.
Regular diagnostics help prevent breakdowns, optimize maintenance, and extend equipment lifespan.

With Jaltest INFO Web, the process becomes fast and precise:

  • Access interactive technical diagrams
  • Read fault codes
  • Follow detailed diagnostic and repair guides for every brand

🔩 Key Elements to Prevent Failures

To maintain your machines effectively, you need:

  • Access to Jaltest INFO Web — a complete database for all brands
  • A keen ear — unusual sounds are often the first warning signs
  • Regular checks — oil levels, temperature, hydraulic pressure
  • Up-to-date data — maintenance history helps anticipate weaknesses

💡 Tip: Even without a diagnostic tool, observing your machine’s daily performance reveals a lot.

🚧 The 5 Warning Signs to Watch Closely

1. Engine Power Loss
The engine struggles to accelerate or responds slowly.
👉 Possible causes: clogged fuel filter, faulty injectors
➡️ Check fault codes with Jaltest INFO Web for a quick diagnosis

2. Frequent Overheating
If the engine temperature rises often, the radiator or fan may be the cause
➡️ Jaltest diagnostics pinpoint the exact source of overheating

3. Abnormal Vibrations
Unusual vibrations or jolts may indicate worn bearings or mechanical imbalance
➡️ Jaltest INFO Web technical diagrams help locate the components

4. Oil or Hydraulic Fluid Leaks
Visible leaks under the machine are serious warnings
➡️ Use the diagnostic and repair guides to identify seals or hoses to replace

5. Repeated Electronic Alerts
Even if the machine seems to work, a faulty sensor may hide a more serious problem
➡️ Jaltest INFO Web provides the precise meaning of each error code

🧱 Building a Reliable Maintenance Base

Before each project:

  • Connect to Jaltest INFO Web
  • Analyze engine, hydraulic, and electronic modules
  • Save results in your maintenance history
  • Share diagnostics with your technical manager to schedule repairs without stopping the machine

🧰 Storage and Preventive Maintenance Tips

  • Save Jaltest reports for complete tracking
  • Clean connectors and sensors after each project
  • Schedule monthly preventive checks through the platform

These habits extend equipment lifespan and prevent costly downtime.

🔄 Mechanical Variants and Customization

Each machine is unique: excavator, loader, crane, or dump truck.
Jaltest INFO Web adapts to every model with specific modules and tailored test procedures according to the manufacturer.

You can personalize diagnostics and follow repairs step by step.
