Construction fleets rarely consist of equipment from just one manufacturer. Contractors may operate excavators from one brand, skid steers from another, multiple types of loaders, compaction equipment, attachments, and other machines accumulated over years of changing project demands. Keeping that mixed fleet productive can become complicated when every brand requires a different service provider or source for parts.

Working with one trusted equipment partner can simplify fleet maintenance and help contractors spend less time coordinating repairs. McCann Industries supports construction professionals with equipment service, parts, and knowledgeable assistance for mixed fleets, helping businesses keep more of their equipment needs in one place.

SIMPLIFY SERVICE FOR A MIXED CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FLEET

Managing multiple service providers can create additional work for fleet managers and contractors. Every repair may require determining who services the machine, contacting a different shop, coordinating transportation, locating parts, and tracking maintenance through another vendor. The more brands and equipment types a fleet contains, the more complicated that process can become.

Consolidating service through a trusted partner provides a more consistent approach. Instead of building a separate service relationship around every machine, contractors have a familiar resource they can contact when equipment needs inspection, maintenance, troubleshooting, or repair. A consolidated approach to mixed-fleet service can help contractors:

• Reduce the number of service providers they need to coordinate
• Simplify communication about equipment maintenance and repairs
• Create a more consistent approach to preventive maintenance
• Identify equipment problems before they lead to greater downtime
• Coordinate service across different machines and equipment types
• Spend less time searching for the appropriate service resource

MAKE PARTS SOURCING EASIER ACROSS YOUR FLEET

Parts management can be just as challenging as equipment service when a fleet contains several brands. Filters, fluids, hoses, wear components, undercarriage parts, attachment components, and repair parts may vary significantly from one machine to another.

A knowledgeable parts partner can help identify what a machine requires and streamline the process of finding the appropriate components. This is particularly valuable for contractors managing older equipment alongside newer machines or maintaining equipment from several manufacturers.

McCann Industries provides parts support for construction equipment and can help customers identify solutions based on their machines and applications. Bringing service and parts needs together can also simplify repairs because technicians and parts professionals can work toward the same goal: getting equipment back into productive operation.

REDUCE DOWNTIME WITH PREVENTIVE FLEET MAINTENANCE

Waiting until equipment breaks down can turn a manageable maintenance need into an interruption that affects an entire project. A mixed fleet benefits from a consistent preventive maintenance strategy that accounts for each machine's manufacturer recommendations, operating hours, applications, and working conditions.

Rather than treating every repair as an isolated event, contractors can work with McCann Industries to take a broader approach to equipment condition and maintenance. Regular inspections and scheduled service provide opportunities to identify worn components, leaks, fluid concerns, damaged hoses, undercarriage wear, and other issues before they become more significant.

This approach is especially useful during seasonal transitions or before major projects. Scheduling maintenance during planned downtime can help contractors prepare machines for demanding workloads rather than discovering problems after equipment reaches the jobsite.

WHY CHOOSE McCANN INDUSTRIES FOR MIXED-FLEET SERVICE & PARTS?

Fall is an important planning period for contractors. Crews may be working to finish projects before colder weather arrives, preparing equipment for winter applications, and determining what their fleets will need for year-end work. Making equipment decisions early can help prevent last-minute shortages, unexpected downtime, and unnecessary purchases during an already busy part of the year.

Depending on your workload and existing fleet, the right solution may be renting additional equipment, purchasing a used machine, or scheduling service for equipment you already own. McCann Industries can help contractors evaluate those options and prepare their fleets for changing seasonal demands with construction equipment rentals, used equipment, parts, and service support.

EVALUATE YOUR EQUIPMENT NEEDS BEFORE COLDER WEATHER

Start fall equipment planning by looking at the work remaining on your schedule and the condition of your current fleet. Consider whether upcoming projects require equipment you do not own, whether existing machines are ready for additional hours, and whether winter conditions will change the type of equipment or attachments your crews need.

Fall is also an opportunity to address maintenance concerns that may have developed during a busy construction season. Machines that have accumulated significant operating hours may require scheduled maintenance, new wear parts, fluid service, or repairs before they are relied upon for year-end projects or winter work.

When evaluating your fall equipment needs, consider:

• Projects that must be completed before winter
• Expected equipment utilization through the end of the year
• Machines due for preventive maintenance or repairs
• Equipment that experienced heavy use during spring and summer
• Additional machines needed for temporary workload increases
• Winter-specific equipment and attachment requirements
• Aging machines that may be candidates for replacement
• Potential downtime that could affect upcoming project schedules

WHEN TO RENT CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Renting can make sense when equipment is needed for a specific project, a temporary increase in workload, or a seasonal application. Instead of purchasing another machine for a short period, contractors can add capacity when it is needed and adjust their fleets as project requirements change.
Fall rentals can also help contractors keep projects moving while owned machines are being serviced. If year-end deadlines overlap with scheduled maintenance or an unexpected repair, a rental machine may provide the additional capacity needed to continue working.

McCann Industries offers construction equipment rentals for a variety of professional applications. Our team can help customers consider jobsite conditions, project duration, equipment size, attachments, and performance requirements when selecting a rental solution.

WHEN BUYING USED EQUIPMENT MAY MAKE SENSE

If you expect to use a machine regularly beyond a single project or season, purchasing used construction equipment may provide a better long-term solution. Used equipment allows contractors to add permanent fleet capacity while potentially reducing the initial investment compared with purchasing new.

Before purchasing, consider how frequently the machine will be used, the type of work it will perform, and whether it fills an ongoing gap in your fleet. Equipment condition, operating hours, maintenance history when available, and compatibility with required attachments should also factor into the decision.

Fall can be a useful time to evaluate these needs because contractors have a clearer picture of how their equipment performed during the primary construction season. A machine that was repeatedly rented, frequently overbooked, or consistently needed across projects may indicate a longer-term fleet requirement.

WHEN TO SCHEDULE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT SERVICE

Sometimes the equipment you need for upcoming work is already in your fleet—it simply needs maintenance. Scheduling service during the fall can help prepare machines for colder temperatures while addressing wear accumulated during the spring and summer construction seasons.

Preventive maintenance is particularly important before equipment enters another demanding period of operation. Batteries, fluids, filters, hydraulic systems, hoses, belts, tires or tracks, undercarriage components, attachments, and other wear items may require attention depending on the machine and its operating hours. Manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules should guide service decisions for individual equipment.

Planning service ahead of winter also gives contractors an opportunity to coordinate maintenance around their workload rather than waiting for a breakdown to determine the schedule.

PLAN YOUR FALL EQUIPMENT NEEDS WITH McCANN INDUSTRIES

Choosing between renting, buying used, and servicing existing equipment does not have to be an isolated decision. Contractors can consider the condition of their entire fleet, remaining project schedule, anticipated winter work, and longer-term equipment needs before determining where to invest.

McCann Industries gives construction professionals access to multiple solutions through one equipment partner. If you need temporary capacity, our team can help with rental equipment. If your operation needs another permanent machine, you can explore available used equipment. If your current fleet can handle the work with proper maintenance, our parts and service teams can help prepare it for the months ahead.

Working with McCann Industries provides access to:

• Construction equipment rentals for temporary and seasonal needs
• Used equipment options for longer-term fleet additions
• Preventive maintenance and equipment repair services
• Parts and wear components for construction equipment
• Support for mixed construction equipment fleets
• Experienced assistance when evaluating equipment needs
• Equipment and attachment solutions for changing applications

Fall planning gives contractors time to make equipment decisions before colder weather and year-end deadlines create additional pressure. Whether the right move is to rent, buy used, or service the equipment you already own, McCann Industries can help you prepare.

Contact McCann Industries to discuss your fall construction equipment needs and prepare your fleet for year-end work and the winter season.

Snow pushers work in demanding conditions, repeatedly contacting pavement, packed snow, ice, curbs, and uneven surfaces throughout the winter. Routine maintenance can help reduce unexpected downtime, promote consistent clearing performance, and identify worn components before they cause additional damage.

Whether you operate a snow pusher on a skid steer, compact track loader, or wheel loader, inspections should be performed before the season and regularly during periods of heavy use. McCann Industries can help contractors and snow-removal professionals maintain their equipment with replacement wear parts, service support, and equipment solutions for winter operations.

WHAT TO INSPECT ON YOUR SNOW PUSHER

A snow pusher should be inspected regularly for visible damage, loose components, and excessive wear. Cutting edges and shoes deserve particular attention because they continually contact the operating surface. As these components wear, clearing performance can decline and other portions of the pusher may be exposed to unnecessary contact with the ground.

Trip springs and related mechanisms should also be inspected according to the manufacturer's recommendations. These systems are designed to help the pusher respond when it encounters certain obstacles, so damaged, excessively worn, or improperly functioning components should be addressed before continued operation. Hardware can loosen under repeated vibration and impact, making bolts, fasteners, mounting points, and attachment connections another important part of routine maintenance. Key snow pusher inspection points include:

• Cutting edges: Check for uneven wear, cracks, damage, and excessive material loss.
• Shoes: Inspect for wear and confirm they are properly positioned and adjusted for the application.
• Trip springs: Look for visible damage, excessive corrosion, or other signs that the trip mechanism needs attention.
• Hardware: Check bolts, nuts, fasteners, pins, and mounting points for looseness, damage, or missing components.
• Wear parts: Inspect replaceable components regularly and address excessive wear before surrounding parts are affected.
• Hydraulic components: If equipped, inspect hoses, fittings, cylinders, and connections for leaks or damage.
• Pusher structure: Look over the moldboard, side panels, welds, frame, and attachment points for cracks, bending, or impact damage.

CUTTING EDGES, SHOES & WEAR PARTS

Cutting edges are among the most frequently worn components on a snow pusher. Allowing an edge to wear too far can reduce clearing effectiveness and potentially expose more expensive structural components to pavement contact. Checking wear frequently during high-use periods makes it easier to replace the edge before it reaches that point.

Shoes help control how the pusher contacts the operating surface and can experience significant wear of their own. Their condition and adjustment should be checked along with the cutting edge, particularly when moving between different surfaces or operating conditions.

Other wear components should be treated the same way: replacement is generally easier to plan before a component reaches the end of its usable life. Keeping common wear parts available during snow season can also reduce the amount of time equipment remains out of service when replacement becomes necessary.

MAINTAIN TRIP SPRINGS, HARDWARE & ATTACHMENT POINTS

Snow pushers are exposed to repeated vibration, impact, and changing loads. Over time, these forces can affect springs, fasteners, pins, welds, and mounting components. A quick inspection before operation can identify loose or damaged parts before they become a larger repair.

Operators should pay attention to changes in how the pusher performs. Uneven scraping, unusual movement, excessive vibration, visible leaning, difficulty connecting the attachment, or a trip mechanism that does not appear to operate normally may indicate that maintenance is needed.

Always follow the snow pusher manufacturer's specifications for spring adjustment, hardware torque, cutting-edge replacement, lubrication, and other maintenance procedures. Using the correct replacement parts and service procedures helps ensure the attachment continues to operate as intended.

PREPARE YOUR SNOW PUSHER BEFORE & AFTER THE SEASON

Preseason maintenance gives contractors time to replace worn components and address repairs before the first major snowfall. Inspect the complete pusher, replace parts approaching their wear limits, and verify that the attachment is compatible with and securely connects to the carrier machine.

Maintenance should continue throughout the winter rather than waiting until the end of the season. After heavy storms or demanding clearing jobs, inspect high-wear areas for new damage. At the end of winter, cleaning and inspecting the attachment before storage can help identify repairs that should be completed before the next snow season. A seasonal maintenance routine should include:

• Inspecting and replacing worn cutting edges and shoes
• Checking trip springs and trip mechanisms
• Tightening and replacing damaged or missing hardware
• Examining pins, mounting points, welds, and structural components
• Inspecting hydraulic components on equipped attachments
• Cleaning away accumulated salt, dirt, and debris
• Completing necessary repairs before long-term storage
• Following manufacturer recommendations for lubrication and storage

WHY CHOOSE McCANN INDUSTRIES FOR SNOW PUSHER PARTS & SERVICE?

Snow removal schedules leave little room for equipment downtime. McCann Industries helps contractors prepare for winter and respond to equipment needs throughout the season with knowledgeable support, replacement parts, construction equipment service, and rental solutions.

Instead of waiting for a worn cutting edge, damaged shoe, or other component to interrupt a snow-removal job, customers can work with McCann Industries to identify maintenance needs and find the appropriate parts or service solution. If equipment downtime or increased snowfall creates a temporary gap in your fleet, McCann can also help with rental equipment for seasonal and project-specific needs.

Contact McCann Industries for help with snow pusher wear parts, construction equipment service, rental equipment, and other winter equipment needs.

Winter weather can create some of the most demanding conditions a construction crew will face all year. Snow, ice, freezing temperatures, reduced visibility, and frozen ground can affect workers, equipment, attachments, and jobsite access. A machine that performs reliably in mild weather may require additional attention once temperatures drop, making seasonal inspections and proper equipment selection essential for maintaining a safe and productive winter operation.

McCann Industries helps contractors prepare for cold-weather work with dependable construction equipment rentals, experienced equipment support, parts, service, and solutions for snow and ice management. Whether you need a loader, skid steer, plow, snow pusher, or compatible attachment, our team can help you prepare for seasonal workloads and keep projects moving.

WINTER CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT INSPECTION CHECKLIST

Cold temperatures can affect batteries, fluids, hydraulic systems, traction, visibility, and other areas of machine performance. Snow-removal equipment may also face demanding workloads that accelerate wear on cutting edges, hydraulic components, mounting hardware, and other parts. Inspecting equipment before winter arrives gives contractors time to identify potential problems before they result in downtime during a project or snow event.

Loaders and skid steers require particular attention to tires or tracks, hydraulic systems, attachment interfaces, lighting, and visibility equipment. Trucks should be checked for reliable cold-weather starting, braking, traction, lighting, and visibility, while plows and snow pushers should be inspected for worn cutting edges, damaged mounting points, loose hardware, hydraulic issues, and structural damage. Cab heaters, defrosters, wipers, and washer systems should also operate correctly to help maintain visibility and operator comfort. Always follow the manufacturer’s inspection, maintenance, and operating recommendations for the specific machine or attachment.

Before winter operations begin, check:

• Batteries, terminals, fluid levels, hoses, belts, and hydraulic connections
• Tires or tracks for condition, damage, and appropriate traction
• Brakes, steering, lights, alarms, mirrors, and cameras
• Cab heat, defrosters, windshield wipers, and washer systems
• Attachment mounting points, pins, locking mechanisms, and hardware
• Plow and snow pusher cutting edges and other wear components
• Hydraulic hoses, fittings, cylinders, and electrical connections
• Equipment for accumulated snow, ice, damage, leaks, or other visible concerns

KEEP THE WINTER JOBSITE SAFE

Even properly prepared equipment must be operated with changing winter conditions in mind. Temperatures can rise and fall throughout the day, turning melting snow into ice and creating hazards that were not present at the beginning of a shift. Fresh snowfall can cover uneven terrain, curbs, materials, drainage areas, and other obstacles, while accumulated snow piles can restrict visibility for operators and ground personnel.

Crews should evaluate access roads, slopes, pedestrian routes, operating areas, and changing surface conditions before beginning work. Snow and ice should be managed in frequently traveled areas, and traction materials may be needed where slippery conditions develop. Operators should allow for reduced traction and longer stopping distances while maintaining clear communication with workers around moving equipment. Functional lighting, mirrors, cameras, alarms, and other visibility systems become especially important when snowfall, shorter daylight hours, or snow piles make it more difficult to see surrounding hazards.

Worker preparation is equally important. Appropriate cold-weather clothing, insulated footwear, gloves, weather-resistant outer layers, and access to warm break areas can help crews work more comfortably in low temperatures. Weather conditions should be monitored throughout the day, and operations should be adjusted when conditions make work unsafe.

RENT THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED FOR WINTER WORK

Winter workloads can be unpredictable. Contractors may have enough machines for everyday construction projects but need additional equipment when snow removal, frozen-site work, or seasonal contracts increase demand. Renting can provide additional capacity without requiring a permanent fleet investment for equipment that may only be needed during part of the year.

McCann Industries can help contractors match rental equipment and attachments to their applications, site conditions, and expected workloads. Rental solutions can be especially useful for supplementing an existing fleet during major snow events, replacing equipment that is temporarily unavailable, adding specialized attachments, or supporting short-term winter contracts.

Renting winter construction equipment can help you:

• Increase fleet capacity when seasonal workloads rise
• Access loaders, skid steers, and other equipment for temporary needs
• Add specialized snow-removal equipment or attachments
• Replace a machine that is temporarily out of service
• Support short-term construction or snow-removal contracts
• Avoid purchasing equipment solely for seasonal use

WHY CHOOSE McCANN INDUSTRIES FOR WINTER CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT?

Contact McCann Industries to discuss your winter construction needs and find rental equipment and support that can help keep your operation safe, flexible, and productive throughout the season.

If your construction equipment is approaching its 1,000-hour service interval, late summer is one of the best times to schedule maintenance. With fall projects quickly approaching, completing preventive service now helps keep your fleet operating efficiently when workloads begin to increase. Addressing maintenance before peak construction season can reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, improve equipment performance, and help extend the life of critical components. Throughout August, McCann Industries is offering free engine oil with every qualifying 1,000-hour service, making it an ideal time to schedule your equipment maintenance.

WHY THE 1,000-HOUR SERVICE MATTERS

Reaching 1,000 operating hours is a significant maintenance milestone for many construction machines. At this point, routine inspections and component replacements help prevent normal wear from turning into expensive repairs. Skipping recommended service intervals can lead to unnecessary downtime, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased operating costs.

Depending on your equipment and manufacturer recommendations, a 1,000-hour service may include changing engine oil and filters, replacing hydraulic and fuel filters, inspecting belts and hoses, checking fluid levels, evaluating hydraulic system performance, inspecting the cooling system, and identifying worn components before they fail. Staying on schedule helps maximize equipment reliability and supports long-term productivity.

WHY LATE SUMMER IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE SERVICE

Many contractors experience increased activity in the fall as weather conditions remain favorable for construction, utility, paving, landscaping, and infrastructure projects. Waiting until equipment fails during your busiest season often results in emergency repairs, scheduling delays, and lost productivity. Planning maintenance during a natural lull in your schedule is one of the easiest ways to protect your equipment investment. Scheduling your 1,000-hour service in late summer provides several advantages:

• Prepare equipment before fall workloads increase.
• Reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during critical projects.
• Address small maintenance issues before they become major repairs.
• Keep machines operating at peak performance and efficiency.
• Minimize costly downtime that impacts project schedules.

WHY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SAVES TIME AND MONEY

Preventive maintenance is far less expensive than unexpected repairs. Components that receive regular inspections and servicing generally last longer, operate more efficiently, and experience fewer costly failures. By servicing equipment before problems develop, contractors can spend more time working and less time waiting for repairs. Benefits of staying current on your 1,000-hour service include:

• Longer equipment lifespan
• Improved fuel efficiency
• Greater machine reliability
• Lower repair costs over time

Battery-powered construction equipment has come a long way in recent years. Advances in battery technology have enabled contractors to complete a growing range of tasks without sacrificing the performance required on today's job sites. While diesel and gas-powered machines remain the right choice for many heavy-duty applications, battery-powered equipment offers clear advantages in the right environments.

Whether you're working indoors, in noise-sensitive areas, or looking to simplify equipment maintenance, battery-powered construction equipment can help improve productivity while meeting project requirements. At McCann Industries, we help contractors choose the right equipment for every job with industry-leading products, expert support, and dependable service.

WHEN BATTERY-POWERED EQUIPMENT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE

Not every job site has the same demands. Battery-powered equipment excels in situations where traditional internal combustion equipment may create challenges.

INDOOR CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION PROJECTS

One of the biggest advantages of battery-powered construction equipment is the absence of direct exhaust emissions during operation. This makes battery-powered tools and compact equipment ideal for indoor environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, commercial renovations, hospitals, schools, and retail spaces where ventilation may be limited or where minimizing air contaminants is important.

Contractors can work more comfortably while reducing disruptions to building occupants and helping maintain cleaner working conditions.

NOISE-SENSITIVE JOBSITES

Construction projects often take place near offices, healthcare facilities, apartment buildings, and other occupied spaces where excessive noise can become a concern. Battery-powered equipment generally operates much more quietly than comparable gas or diesel-powered machines, making it easier to work during business hours while minimizing disruptions.

Lower operating noise also improves communication among crews and creates a more comfortable work environment throughout the day.

JOBS WITH FREQUENT STARTS AND STOPS

Battery-powered equipment is well-suited for applications involving intermittent operation. Since there is no engine idling between tasks, operators can simply power equipment on when needed and off when work is complete. This improves efficiency while eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption during downtime.

LOWER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE MEANS MORE TIME WORKING

Another significant benefit of battery-powered construction equipment is simplified routine maintenance. While batteries, cutting components, hydraulic systems, and other wear items still require regular inspection and service, reducing routine engine maintenance can help lower operating costs and minimize downtime over the life of the equipment.

Because electric equipment has fewer moving engine components, contractors typically spend less time performing common maintenance tasks such as:

• Engine oil changes
• Fuel filter replacement
• Air filter service
• Spark plug replacement
• Fuel system maintenance

BATTERY-POWERED EQUIPMENT BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS

McCann Industries offers innovative battery-powered solutions designed specifically for demanding construction applications.

DEWALT POWERSHIFT™

The DEWALT PowerShift™ System is engineered to replace gas-powered equipment commonly used for concrete and site preparation work. Its interchangeable battery platform powers multiple pieces of equipment, helping contractors streamline fleet management while delivering the performance required for professional job sites.

PowerShift equipment provides the mobility contractors expect while reducing noise and eliminating direct exhaust emissions during operation, making it an excellent choice for indoor concrete work and projects in occupied buildings.

HUSQVARNA PACE

The Husqvarna PACE battery platform delivers high-performance cordless power for concrete cutting, core drilling, demolition, and surface preparation applications. Designed for professional users, PACE products combine powerful battery technology with the durability contractors expect from Husqvarna.

For projects where mobility, reduced noise, and flexibility are priorities, the Husqvarna PACE system provides an efficient alternative to traditional gas-powered equipment.

IS BATTERY-POWERED EQUIPMENT RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

The best equipment depends on the work you perform. Battery-powered construction equipment is an excellent solution for many contractors, but diesel and gas-powered machines continue to play an important role for high-production, extended-runtime, and heavy-earthmoving applications.

Rubber tracks give compact construction equipment the traction, stability, and maneuverability needed to work across a wide range of surfaces. However, daily exposure to rocks, debris, sharp edges, and demanding terrain can cause gradual wear or sudden damage. Consistent rubber track maintenance helps extend track life, protect undercarriage components, and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.

Knowing when to repair, replace, or upgrade rubber tracks can also help you make a more informed decision about equipment maintenance. McCann Industries offers the parts, service, and construction equipment expertise needed to keep your machines ready for the job. During August, customers can also take advantage of McCann’s rubber track special and receive a free tube of grease with a qualifying purchase.

SIGNS YOUR RUBBER TRACKS NEED ATTENTION

Rubber tracks should be inspected regularly and whenever equipment performance changes. Small cuts and surface wear are expected with normal use, but certain conditions may indicate a more serious problem. Operators should also watch for uneven wear from side to side. One track wearing faster than the other can point to improper tension, misalignment, worn undercarriage components, or operating habits that place excessive stress on one side of the machine. Common signs of rubber track wear or damage include:

• Deep cuts, cracks, or missing pieces of rubber
• Exposed or damaged internal cords
• Worn, uneven, or missing tread lugs
• Damaged drive lugs on the inside of the track
• Frequent track derailment
• Noticeably reduced traction
• Uneven track tension or excessive sag
• Vibrations or unusual noise during operation

CHECK FOR JOBSITE-RELATED TRACK DAMAGE

Jobsite conditions directly affect rubber track life. Sharp rocks, exposed rebar, demolition debris, broken concrete, and other hazards can puncture or cut the rubber. Mud, gravel, and compacted material can also collect in the undercarriage, increasing tension and accelerating wear.

Operators should avoid unnecessary track spinning, aggressive turns on abrasive surfaces, or driving over sharp obstacles whenever possible. Clean the undercarriage at the end of each shift, especially after working in mud, snow, clay, or heavy debris. Removing packed material helps prevent added strain on the tracks, rollers, sprockets, and idlers.

Damage should be evaluated promptly. Continuing to operate with a compromised track can worsen the problem and may leave the machine immobilized at an inconvenient time or location.

INCLUDE THE UNDERCARRIAGE IN EVERY INSPECTION

Rubber track maintenance involves more than checking the track itself. The entire undercarriage works as a system, and worn components can shorten the life of a new or otherwise serviceable track. Track tension should remain within the equipment manufacturer’s recommended range. Tracks that are too loose may derail, while tracks that are too tight can create excess friction and place additional strain on bearings, rollers, and other undercarriage components. Refer to the equipment manual or contact McCann Industries for help checking and adjusting track tension correctly. Inspect the following areas regularly:

• Sprockets for worn, hooked, or damaged teeth
• Rollers for excessive wear, leaks, or restricted movement
• Idlers for damage or uneven wear
• Track frames for buildup, cracks, or misalignment
• Tensioning components for leaks or improper adjustment
• Hardware and guards for loose or missing parts

WHEN CAN A RUBBER TRACK BE REPAIRED?

Minor, localized surface damage may not require immediate track replacement. Small cuts that do not expose internal cords or affect the track’s structure can sometimes be monitored while the equipment remains in service.

Repairs and temporary measures have limitations, however. Deep cuts, damaged cords, separated tread, or broken internal components can affect the track’s strength and reliability. A professional inspection can help determine whether continued use is appropriate or whether replacement is the safer and more cost-effective choice.

WHEN SHOULD RUBBER TRACKS BE REPLACED?

Rubber tracks should generally be replaced when damage threatens their structural integrity, traction, or ability to stay properly seated on the undercarriage. Replacement may also be necessary when tread wear begins limiting performance or when repeated derailments interfere with productivity.

Waiting for a track to fail completely can lead to unplanned downtime, additional service expenses, and possible damage to nearby components. Schedule an inspection when wear becomes noticeable so you have time to order and install the correct replacement before equipment performance declines.

When replacing one track, compare its condition to that of the track on the opposite side. Significant differences in tread depth or overall wear can affect traction and machine stability. Depending on the equipment and application, replacing tracks as a matched pair may provide more balanced performance.

WHEN IS IT TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR RUBBER TRACKS?

An upgrade may be worthwhile if your current tracks do not match the conditions in which the equipment typically operates. Tread pattern, rubber compound, track width, and construction can influence traction, flotation, ride quality, and durability.

For example, equipment frequently used on soft ground may benefit from tracks designed to improve flotation, while machines working on rocky or abrasive terrain may require a more durable track construction. Choosing the right replacement is not simply a matter of finding the correct size. McCann Industries can help you evaluate your equipment, operating environment, and performance priorities to identify a suitable rubber track option.

Mini excavators have become one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on today's jobsites. From utility installation and residential construction to landscaping, demolition, and municipal projects, the right mini excavator can improve productivity while allowing operators to work in confined spaces where larger equipment simply won't fit.

However, choosing the right machine isn't just about selecting the biggest model available. Factors such as digging depth, operating weight, horsepower, jobsite access, and transportation requirements all play an important role in determining which mini excavator best fits your business.

At McCann Industries, our equipment specialists help contractors find the right machine for their workload with trusted brands like Takeuchi, competitive pricing, and expert support long after the sale.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MINI EXCAVATOR FOR YOUR PROJECTS

Before comparing specifications, think about the jobs your excavator will perform most often.

If you're primarily working on residential landscaping, fence installation, irrigation, or light utility projects, a compact mini excavator with excellent maneuverability may be all you need. Contractors performing commercial site work, sewer installations, or deeper excavation projects often benefit from upgrading to larger models that offer greater digging depth, lifting capacity, and hydraulic performance.

Choosing a machine that matches your everyday work helps maximize productivity while avoiding unnecessary ownership costs.

MINI EXCAVATOR DIGGING DEPTH: CHOOSING THE RIGHT REACH

One of the first specifications contractors compare is maximum digging depth.

The deeper your excavation requirements, the larger the machine you'll typically need. Smaller mini excavators are ideal for shallow trenching, grading, and landscaping, while larger models are better suited for installing utilities, foundation work, and drainage projects.

Instead of choosing based solely on maximum depth, consider the average depth required on your most common jobs. Selecting the appropriate size can improve efficiency while reducing operating costs.

MINI EXCAVATOR OPERATING WEIGHT: WHY MACHINE SIZE MATTERS

Operating weight affects far more than stability; it also influences lifting capability, ground pressure, transport, and access.

Lighter machines are easier to transport between jobsites and are well-suited for finished landscapes, residential properties, and areas with limited ground support. Heavier mini excavators offer greater stability when lifting materials or operating larger attachments, but may require larger trailers and tow vehicles.

Balancing lifting performance with transportation convenience is often one of the most important decisions contractors make.

MINI EXCAVATOR HORSEPOWER AND HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE EXPLAINED

Horsepower isn't simply about digging faster. It also determines how effectively a mini excavator can power hydraulic attachments.

If you regularly use augers, breakers, compactors, grapples, or other hydraulic tools, selecting a machine with sufficient hydraulic flow and engine power can significantly improve productivity.

Contractors who anticipate expanding the types of work they perform should also consider future attachment needs when purchasing a machine.

MINI EXCAVATORS FOR TIGHT SPACES AND COMPACT JOBSITES

One of the biggest advantages of a mini excavator is the ability to work where larger equipment cannot.

Projects involving backyard access, urban construction, utility work, and confined commercial sites often require compact machines with reduced or zero tail swing. These configurations allow operators to work closer to buildings, fences, traffic lanes, and other obstacles while reducing the risk of accidental contact.

If your crews regularly work in tight quarters, maneuverability may be just as important as digging performance.

MINI EXCAVATOR TRANSPORT GUIDE: TRAILER AND TOWING CONSIDERATIONS

Transportation costs are often overlooked during the buying process. A machine that's easy to transport can reduce operating costs and increase scheduling flexibility, particularly for contractors managing multiple projects throughout the week. Before purchasing a mini excavator, consider:

• Trailer capacity
• Tow vehicle capabilities
• DOT requirements
• Jobsite-to-jobsite mobility
• Loading and unloading efficiency

A mid-season construction equipment maintenance inspection can help identify worn parts, leaks and developing performance issues before they result in more extensive repairs. Whether you operate excavators, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, wheel loaders, rollers or other construction equipment, preventive maintenance can help protect your fleet and keep your jobs moving.

McCann Industries provides construction equipment maintenance, diagnostics and repair support for all makes and models. Our service team can help evaluate your equipment and address concerns before they become jobsite emergencies.

WHY MID-SEASON EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MATTERS

Construction equipment operates in dust, heat, mud and other demanding conditions. By the middle of the season, machines may have accumulated hundreds of operating hours since their last major inspection.

Daily walkarounds remain essential, but they may not uncover every developing issue. A more detailed mid-year inspection can help contractors:

• Reduce the risk of unexpected downtime
• Identify fluid leaks and worn components
• Maintain dependable machine performance
• Protect major systems from avoidable damage
• Plan repairs around project schedules
• Extend the useful life of equipment
• Keep service and maintenance records current

Maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer, machine and application. Always follow the service intervals and procedures listed in the equipment’s operator or service manual.

MID-SEASON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

A thorough inspection should cover the machine’s major systems, wear components and safety equipment.

REVIEW OPERATING HOURS AND SERVICE RECORDS

Begin by checking the hour meter and reviewing the equipment’s maintenance history.

Determine whether the machine is approaching a scheduled service interval and verify when key maintenance tasks were last completed.

Review:

• Current operating hours
• Manufacturer-recommended service intervals
• Previous oil and filter changes
• Recent repairs
• Fluid analysis results, when available
• Recurring fault codes or operator concerns
• Upcoming component replacement recommendations

Documented maintenance records can help identify patterns and make it easier to plan future service.

INSPECT ENGINE OIL, FLUIDS AND FILTERS

Clean fluids and filters help protect critical machine components. Contaminated fluids, restricted filters or incorrect fluid levels can contribute to poor performance and premature wear.

Inspect:

• Engine oil and oil filter
• Hydraulic fluid and filter
• Engine coolant
• Fuel and fuel filters
• Air filters
• Transmission fluid, when applicable
• Final-drive and axle fluids
• Diesel exhaust fluid, when applicable

Do not rely only on fluid levels. Check for unusual color, odor, contamination or metal particles that may indicate an internal problem.

Follow the manufacturer’s specifications when selecting replacement fluids and filters. Mixing incompatible products can reduce performance or damage components.

CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM

Hot weather, heavy loads and dirty operating conditions can place additional demands on an equipment cooling system.

Inspect:

• Coolant level and condition
• Radiator and cooling package
• Hoses and clamps
• Fan belts
• Water pump area
• Cooling fins
• Debris around screens and air passages
• Temperature gauges and warning indicators

Remove accumulated dirt and debris using the cleaning procedure recommended by the manufacturer. Restricted airflow can contribute to overheating even when the coolant level is correct.

INSPECT THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Hydraulic systems power many of the functions construction equipment performs each day. A small leak or damaged hose can develop into a larger failure if it is not addressed.

Look for:

• Cracked, worn or rubbing hydraulic hoses
• Fluid around cylinders, pumps and fittings
• Damaged hose guards
• Loose connections
• Slow or inconsistent cylinder movement
• Unusual hydraulic noise
• Excessive heat
• Loss of lifting or attachment performance

Never use your hands to search for a pressurized hydraulic leak. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury. Equipment should be shut down and pressure safely relieved before a qualified person performs repairs.

EXAMINE TRACKS AND UNDERCARRIAGE COMPONENTS

An undercarriage represents a significant portion of the operating cost of tracked construction equipment. Regular inspection can help prevent uneven wear and premature component replacement.

Check:

• Track tension
• Track condition
• Rollers and idlers
• Sprockets
• Track links
• Pins and bushings
• Final drives
• Mud, stone and debris buildup
• Uneven wear between sides

Incorrect track tension can accelerate wear. Use the manufacturer’s procedure and specifications when checking or adjusting tracks.

Cleaning the undercarriage regularly can also make developing leaks and damaged components easier to identify.

INSPECT TIRES AND WHEELS

For wheeled equipment, tire condition affects traction, stability and machine performance.

Inspect:

• Tire pressure
• Tread depth
• Sidewall cuts or cracking
• Punctures
• Uneven wear
• Rims
• Valve stems
• Wheel hardware
• Loose or missing lug nuts

Inflate tires to the pressure recommended for the machine, tire and application. Uneven tire pressure may affect stability and cause irregular wear.

TEST THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Heat, vibration and extended operating hours can place additional strain on batteries and electrical components.

A mid-season electrical inspection should include:

• Battery charge and condition
• Battery terminals and cables
• Charging system
• Starter operation
• Wiring and connectors
• Fuses
• Work lights
• Warning lights
• Backup alarms
• Cameras
• Display screens
• Diagnostic fault codes

Loose, damaged or corroded connections should be addressed before they cause intermittent starting or operating problems.

EVALUATE WEAR PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS

Wear parts are designed to be replaced over time. Allowing them to wear beyond their usable limits can reduce performance and damage more expensive components.

Inspect:

• Bucket teeth
• Cutting edges
• Adapters
• Pins and bushings
• Belts
• Bearings
• Brake components
• Couplers
• Attachment hoses
• Hydraulic connections
• Ground-engaging tools

Check buckets and attachments for cracks, damaged welds or excessive movement. Confirm that attachment locking systems operate properly before returning the machine to service.

VERIFY SAFETY SYSTEMS

Safety equipment should be tested regularly to help protect operators and others working nearby.

Confirm the proper operation and condition of:

• Seat belts and restraint systems
• Backup alarms
• Horns
• Cameras and mirrors
• Emergency shutoffs
• Safety switches and interlocks
• Warning lights
• Steps and handrails
• Doors and windows
• Rollover and falling-object protective structures
• Fire extinguishers, when equipped

Damaged or disabled safety devices should be repaired before the equipment is operated.

INSPECT THE OPERATOR STATION

Operator comfort and visibility can affect productivity and safe equipment operation.

Check:

• Joysticks and controls
• Pedals
• Seat adjustment
• Heating and air conditioning
• Windshield wipers
• Windows and mirrors
• Displays and gauges
• Cab filters
• Doors and latches
• Interior cleanliness

Ask operators whether they have noticed changes in machine response, noise, vibration or temperature. Operators often detect developing problems before they become visible during an inspection.

EQUIPMENT WARNING SIGNS YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE

Schedule an equipment inspection when operators notice:

• New or worsening fluid leaks
• Excessive exhaust smoke
• Difficult starting
• Loss of engine power
• Overheating
• Slow hydraulic functions
• Unusual noises or vibration
• Recurring warning lights
• Changes in steering or braking
• Uneven track or tire wear
• Excessive movement in pins or bushings
• Increased fuel or fluid consumption

Continuing to operate a machine with a developing problem can turn a manageable repair into a more expensive component failure.

IN-SHOP SERVICE OR FIELD SERVICE?

The best service option depends on the condition of the machine and the work required.

In-shop construction equipment service may be appropriate for:

• Scheduled preventive maintenance
• Detailed inspections
• Repairs requiring specialized shop equipment
• Major component work
• Projects that can be planned in advance

Field service may be more practical when:

• The equipment cannot be transported

At McCann Industries, our team helps contractors evaluate their options, select equipment that fits their applications, and keep their machines working with dependable parts and service support.

WHY BUY USED CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT?

• Lower upfront investment
• Less initial depreciation
• Faster equipment availability
• A documented operating history
• More flexibility within your equipment budget

The value of a used machine, however, depends heavily on its condition, maintenance history, and suitability for the work you plan to perform.

INSPECT THE OVERALL CONDITION

Begin with a complete walkaround. Normal cosmetic wear is expected, but significant damage may indicate hard use, poor maintenance, or repairs that require further evaluation.

Look for:

• Cracks or weld repairs on the frame
• Rust or corrosion
• Damaged panels or structural components
• Missing guards, covers, or hardware
• Fluid leaks beneath the machine
• Signs of damage around pins, bushings, and attachment points

Wear should be reasonably consistent throughout the machine. A freshly painted section or recently replaced component is not necessarily a concern, but it is worth asking why the work was completed.

REVIEW ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The engine is one of the machine’s most important and expensive components. Whenever possible, start the equipment when the engine is cold and operate it long enough to reach its normal working temperature.

Check for:

• Difficult or delayed starting
• Excessive exhaust smoke
• Unusual noises, knocking, or vibration
• Oil, fuel, or coolant leaks
• Low or contaminated fluids
• Warning lights or fault codes
• Loss of power while operating under load

A machine that starts easily and performs consistently under load is generally a better sign than one that has only been allowed to idle.

EXAMINE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The hydraulic system affects the productivity and operation of many construction machines. Weak, slow, or inconsistent hydraulic functions may indicate wear, contamination, leakage, or another maintenance concern.

Inspect:

• Hydraulic hoses for cracking, rubbing, or damage
• Cylinders and seals for leaks
• Pumps, valves, and fittings
• Couplers and auxiliary hydraulic connections
• Lift, tilt, steering, and travel functions
• Bucket and attachment operation

Operate several hydraulic functions at the same time when possible. The machine should respond smoothly without excessive hesitation, drifting, or unusual noise.

CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE OR TIRES

Undercarriage and tire replacement costs can significantly affect the true value of a used machine.

For tracked equipment, inspect:

• Track condition and remaining life
• Rollers and idlers
• Sprockets
• Track tension
• Uneven wear between the left and right sides
• Cuts, missing track material, or damaged links

For wheeled equipment, examine:

• Tire tread depth
• Sidewall cuts or cracking
• Uneven wear
• Matching tire sizes and types
• Rims, wheel hardware, and axle components

A lower purchase price may not be a good value if the machine immediately needs tires, tracks, or major undercarriage work.

VERIFY MAINTENANCE AND OWNERSHIP RECORDS

Maintenance records can provide valuable insight into how the equipment was cared for and which repairs may be needed in the future.

Ask about:

• Routine service intervals
• Oil, fuel, air, and hydraulic filter changes
• Major repairs
• Rebuilt or replaced components
• Previous applications
• Prior ownership
• Current meter hours
• Available inspection or service reports

Compare the records with the condition of the machine. Meter hours alone do not tell the entire story. A higher-hour machine with consistent maintenance may be a better investment than a lower-hour machine that was neglected.

TEST THE CONTROLS AND SAFETY FEATURES

Sit in the operator’s station and test the controls, displays, and safety systems. The machine should be comfortable to operate and respond consistently to operator input.

Check:

• Joysticks, pedals, and travel controls
• Backup alarms
• Horns, lights, and warning indicators
• Safety switches and interlocks
• Seat belt and restraint systems
• Gauges and display panels
• Heating and air conditioning, when equipped
• Doors, windows, steps, and handrails

Any warning lights or active fault codes should be investigated before the purchase is completed.

MAKE SURE THE MACHINE FITS THE APPLICATION

A machine can be in excellent condition and still be the wrong choice for your operation. Consider how it will be used, transported, stored, and equipped.

Evaluate:

• Rated operating capacity
• Lift height and reach
• Machine dimensions and operating weight
• Hydraulic flow requirements
• Attachment compatibility
• Ground conditions
• Trailer and transportation requirements
• Dealer parts and service support

Choosing the right size and configuration can improve productivity, reduce operating costs, and prevent unnecessary wear.

CONSIDER THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

The purchase price is only one part of the investment. Before buying, estimate the costs required to operate and maintain the machine over time.

Consider:

• Immediate repairs or scheduled maintenance
• Tires, tracks, or undercarriage replacement
• Fuel consumption
• Replacement parts
• Transportation
• Insurance
• Future service needs
• Expected resale value

A well-supported machine that costs slightly more upfront may provide better long-term value by reducing downtime and unplanned repair expenses.
