Detailed Refurbishment Process at Jining Factory
At the Jining factory, every machine undergoes a meticulous refurbishment process designed to restore it to optimal condition. This process begins with a comprehensive visual and structural inspection, where experts look for rust, frame cracks, and wear points that might compromise safety or performance.
Following the inspection, the machine is carefully disassembled. Key components such as the engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems are removed and inspected separately. Parts showing excessive wear or damage are either refurbished or replaced with OEM or certified equivalent components to ensure quality and compatibility.
Technicians then perform engine overhauls which include cleaning, replacement of worn piston rings, valves, and gaskets, and calibration to restore power output and fuel efficiency. The hydraulic systems are flushed and tested for leaks, with seals and hoses replaced if necessary.
After mechanical repairs, the chassis and frame receive attention. Rust removal, welding reinforcement, and structural repairs are done to maintain vehicle integrity. Once mechanical integrity is assured, the entire machine is cleaned and prepared for exterior repainting with high-grade industrial paint, which protects against corrosion and improves appearance.
Finally, each machine undergoes a full functional test. This includes engine start-up under different loads, hydraulic system operation, transmission shifts, brake testing, and cabin electronics functionality. Only after passing these tests does a machine receive the “ready for export” certification.
Key Points to Note During Inspection
Always confirm the engine hours and maintenance records; low hours generally indicate less wear.
Inspect the condition of tires and suspension for uneven wear which may indicate alignment issues.
Check for any fluid leaks from the engine, transmission, or hydraulic system.
Verify the cabin controls and safety devices such as airbags, seat belts, and mirrors are intact.
Confirm the availability of spare parts and the support network for your region.
