A customer calls us.
Emergency repair needed right away.
The D.I.E. truck is on its way to get the repair.
But…we can’t load it yet…why???
When you call us with an equipment emergency, the worst thing that could happen is for a delay to occur because the motor, pump, or gearbox still has oil lubrication in it.
We never want our customers to be in this situation, so here’s what you need to know:
- Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) regulations require permits for hazardous material and it must be in proper containers. The oil contained in a motor or gearbox can easily leak out onto the truck and then onto the ground causing an environmental issue.
- Secondly, oil in the motor can easily slop around into the coils while bouncing down the road. This can turn a recondition into a much more expensive rewind due to oil saturated coils.
