A baler or compactor that's well-maintained does its job quietly for years. A neglected one fails mid-shift — full charge of material, carts backing up, and a filter swap that's now a hydraulic rebuild.
The difference rarely comes down to luck. It comes down to whether someone is following a schedule.
Our new guide breaks down preventive maintenance for both balers and compactors: the four systems that matter (hydraulic, structural, electrical, safety), the daily-to-annual rhythm, the wear items worth keeping on the shelf, and the one rule we'll never bend — never service one of these machines without completing lockout/tagout first.
Most of the daily checks take an operator a few minutes at startup. The payoff is less downtime, denser bales that hold their value, and a machine that's safe to be around.
