Hydraulic systems fail from contamination far more than from component wear, and contamination is the one thing a maintenance programme can control outright. Oil analysis on a hydraulic system is worth more than on almost any other asset, because the results are actionable long before anything on the machine misbehaves.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under hydraulic power unit, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
