FAILED TRACK MOTOR. ON-SITE REPAIR.
When a track drive fails, getting the machine moving again means more than simply bolting on a new motor. Access, contamination control, hydraulic oil loss, final-drive checks and correct testing all matter.
This Bobcat was stripped on site after a failed track motor. The failed unit was removed and replaced, hydraulic oil was replenished, the drive system was checked and the machine was tested before being returned to work.
Major repair work does not always mean transporting a dead machine away. Where practical, Hawes & Son brings the repair capability to the machine and gets the job completed on site.
BOBCAT • TRACK MOTOR REPLACEMENTFailed track motor replaced on site.
The track was removed, the drive assembly stripped down and the failed track motor replaced on site. Once reassembled, the hydraulic system and drive operation were checked before the machine was returned to service.
Downtime is expensive.
Track drive failures can leave a machine effectively immobilised. Mobile repair avoids unnecessary recovery where the job can be completed safely on site, cutting additional delay and getting the machine back to work sooner.
Need a plant repair on site?
14 years dealership experience. Bobcat trained.
That experience matters when the fault is intermittent, electrical, network-related or simply not obvious. Hawes & Son is built around practical field diagnosis rather than swapping parts until something changes.
Including a former technical support lead engineer role.
Experience across servicing, breakdowns, warranty and difficult faults.
Keep the machine where the work is whenever field repair is practical.
