Excavator not driving straight?

Whether you have a large excavator or mini-excavator you need it to operate correctly to get the job done. From a hydraulic performance issues or an oil leak to engine issues they can all cause your machine to stop working as intended. 

 Here are some signs that there is an emerging issue with your excavator travel system:

• Does it drive straight when tracking?
• Is it struggling to drive in tough conditions like soft sand or on slopes?
• Does it roll on a slope when stationary?

If you have these or other issue it’s worth getting them checked by an experienced Heavy Duty Diesel mechanic to get the right professional advice & quality repairs.
