Mining, excavation and construction sites rely on heavy equipment to keep schedules and accomplish production goals, regardless of the weather conditions.
Heavy equipment operating in high elevations or remote locations face extreme weather challenges not typical for most equipment. Critical fluids keep equipment lubricated and operating at their best when those fluids are heated and kept moving through a mechanical system.
Hotstart coolant, oil and hydraulic fluid heaters keep heavy equipment ready to run in cold temperatures without costly idling. Immersion elements, external forced circulation heaters and heating pads maintain critical fluids at ideal operating temperatures, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Applications
New construction is a signal of growth and opportunity for business. But keeping construction projects on-schedule means trusting your equipment can get the job done — under any weather conditions. Hotstart heating systems maintain critical fluids like lube oil, coolant, and fuel to ensure your equipment benefits from full power starts without harmful idling, even in the coldest temperatures.
Maintaining hydraulic fluid is critical to the performance of heavy equipment operating in harsh conditions. Hotstart heating systems keep hydraulic oil at optimal temperatures for operation without the need to idle — saving fuel and promoting a cleaner environment.
Electrification of construction, mining and other heavy equipment means that batteries and critical lubrication fluids must contend with extremely cold environments. Repeated battery charging in cold weather can damage batteries, shortening their lifespan. Critical fluids also need heat to keep flowing in e-powertrains and e-axles. Hotstart’s heating solutions are proven to maintain fluids and batteries within the minimum temperature range for optimized battery charging and system operation.
