Hydraulic Excavator Performance Check-Up Service

Studies show that your hydraulic excavator can lose up to 15% of its performance capabilities before your operator can tell the difference. Day after day, a 15% loss of production can cost you big money. That's why Yancey Bros. Co. has developed this Hydraulic Excavator Performance Check-Up for you.

After 2,000 or more hours engine performance and RPM's can deteriorate and affect hydraulic performance. Also, slight wear on hydraulic pumps and valves, along with lessened valve spring tension, can necessitate hydraulic pressure adjustments. All of these things can be identified and most of them adjusted with Yancey's Hydraulic Excavator Performance Check-Up.

Engine (check/adjust)
