Potential Signs of Hydraulic Pump Issues
The best time to buy a hydraulic pump is before your existing one fails, of course. But how do you know when a failure is about to occur? Here are a few warning signs that indicate it’s time to purchase a new pump.
- Odd noises – Every piece of hydraulic equipment has a characteristic noise. If that noise becomes louder than normal, or if you hear a strange noise, that could indicate a pump issue. Pumps are supposed to muffle noise and operate quietly. If you hear something strange, that may indicate a pump problem.
- Leaks – In many instances, a leak will occur inside a pump, where you obviously can’t see it. But you’ll be able to tell if the pump all of a sudden doesn’t work as efficiently as normal, or it’s pressure suddenly drops. If you see oil outside the pump, that means it has either failed or will fail very soon.
- Fluid contamination – If a pump suddenly fails, that could be due to some sort of fluid getting inside the housing that shouldn’t be there. This could eventually damage other components of the hydraulic system.
If you have any reason to believe your pump is about to fail, get in touch with Gorilla Spares as soon as you can. We’ll locate a replacement and get it to you as quickly as possible so you can minimize downtime.
