Expert View — From a Fleet Maintenance Head

"

We run 64 machines across 3 highway packages — JCB excavators, Tata Hitachi loaders, CAT graders, BEML compactors, and Ashok Leyland tippers. Earlier we tracked PM in 4 separate Excel sheets and a WhatsApp group. Every month we missed at least 8–10 PM services. After moving to HVI, the system auto-schedules PM1 to PM4 by engine hours, sends alerts 14 days in advance, and reserves spare parts. Last quarter we hit 98% PM compliance and saved nearly ₹38 lakh in avoided emergency repairs.

Conclusion — The Template Is Free, but Discipline Is Not

This template works for any heavy equipment fleet — JCB, Tata Hitachi, CAT, BEML, Komatsu, Ashok Leyland, SANY, Volvo. But a printed schedule on a workshop wall is only as good as the discipline that follows it. The contractors winning the next decade of NHAI, mining, and infrastructure projects treat PM not as paperwork, but as a daily KPI tracked, scored, and reviewed weekly. Book a 30-minute demo to see how HVI auto-runs this template across your entire fleet — without a single Excel sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

01Does this template work for JCB, Tata Hitachi, CAT, and BEML equipment?
Yes. The 5-tier structure (Daily, PM1, PM2, PM3, PM4) is universal across all major OEMs — JCB, Tata Hitachi, CAT, BEML, Komatsu, SANY, Hyundai, Volvo. Specific tasks vary slightly by model, which is why HVI lets you customise the template per machine.
02What happens if I skip a PM interval to keep production running?
Skipped PM does not save money — it shifts cost. A ₹15K–₹35K PM service can prevent a ₹8L–₹15L hydraulic pump or engine repair. Skipped intervals also void warranty on related components. Industry data shows machines with documented PM retain 25–30% higher resale value.
03How do I track PM intervals on machines without telematics?
HVI lets operators enter daily engine hours from the cab dashboard via the mobile app. Hours auto-update PM countdowns, and the system generates work orders 2 weeks before each interval. For machines with telematics (JCB LiveLink, CAT VisionLink, Hitachi ConSite), HVI auto-syncs hours.
04Should I shorten PM intervals on dusty Bharatmala or mining sites?
Yes. OEM intervals assume normal conditions. On dusty quarry or Bharatmala stretches, halve the air filter interval (250 hr instead of 500), clean radiator daily, and consider 200-hour engine oil. On mining sites with heavy load, inspect undercarriage at 500 hr instead of 1,000.
05How quickly can HVI digitise our entire fleet PM schedule?
Basic PM scheduling starts in under 10 minutes — add machines, set current hours, pick PM templates. Full configuration with model-specific tasks, spare parts mapping, and ERP integration takes 7–14 days. Fleets are typically at 90%+ PM compliance within 60 days.
