Finding Box Truck Parts
As a responsible independent contractor, small business owner, or fleet manager, you know the importance of maintaining your box truck. Proper care will ensure that your box truck is always working just as it should so that it;s less likely to break down on you randomly when you’re in the middle of hauling some important cargo.
One way to keep your box truck maintained is to replace worn-down or broken parts as soon as you notice them. This quick guide will help you to know when to replace parts and where to find them.
When Should Box Truck Parts Be Replaced?
The many parts that make up your truck will wear down at different intervals. You can check your owner’s manual to see what the manufacturer’s recommendations are for replacing certain parts like tires, belts, spark plugs, oil and air filters, and so forth.
Also, if you come across parts that seem worn while you’re cleaning or repairing your truck, they should be replaced as soon as possible. This is especially true if you notice a part that’s completely broken.
Performing regular inspections of your box truck will help you stay on top of the condition that its parts are in so that you aren’t surprised by a part suddenly breaking.
Which Parts Should I Keep Handy?
Certain types of truck parts will wear down more quickly than others, and they may also be rather easy for you to replace without the help of a repair shop. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep some spare parts handy so that you can quickly swap them out and get back on the road. Some parts you may want to always have at the ready include:
- Spare tires
- Clean filters for oil, air, fuel, and hydraulic systems
- Fan belts
- Spark plugs
- Light bulbs
