The core of Equipment Management is scheduled oil sampling. Wheeler’s Fluids Analysis Lab is one of the most useful and important maintenance support programs available.

Here’s why:

• Avoid – Fluids analysis services enable you to keep minor repairs from becoming major ones and help you to avoid complete failures. Often an adjustment or replacement of a single part, based on fluids analysis results, can prevent a small problem from growing into a major repair.
• Track – Fluids analysis enables you to predict wear-related problems, allowing greater flexibility in repair scheduling and downtime control. Through this, you are equipped with a tool that tracks the wear of components and parts, tracks oil performance and tracks oil condition. Fluids analysis lets you know what is going on inside your equipment.
• Maintain – Fluids analysis shortens repair time. Using Wheeler’s Fluids Analysis Report as a guide, troubleshooting time is often reduced, enabling a service technician to go directly to the core of the problem.
• Optimize – Fluids analysis aids in the optimization of oil change intervals.
• Manage – Fluids analysis manages component life and equipment availability; thus, reducing owning and operating costs. Downtime is decreased and productivity and profitability are increased.

For maximum protection, you need fluids analysis – oil, fuel and coolant analysis for all major oil-lubricated systems: engine, transmission, hydraulic system and final drives.

Prevent the likelihood of premature component failure by utilizing the services of the Wheeler Fluid Analysis Lab. Results are typically available within 24 hours, and you can view your results online or by e-mail.
