Mevas - The Heavy Equipment Inspectors Mevas performs pre-delivery inspections for crawler excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, cranes, trucks, concrete pumps and many other machines. No matter if the machine is from Komatsu, Caterpillar, Volvo or Grove - we have the right machine specialist available for any used construction machine you need to get inspected. The inspection of a machine or a truck follows a standardized procedure. The inspector takes basic machine info, then he starts machine for warm-up. While warming up the systems he examines the condition of operator cabin and the exterior. This is followed by a check up for fluid leaks. The engine will be approved and blow by estimated. When machine is warmed up a functional test will be performed. Our inspectors are able to operate all earthmoving machines. All reports (used machine inspection checklist) come with 30-50 pictures. On request we can do a video for a small additional fee. Wheel Loader Additionally to above standard procedure we will check carefully the remaining life and condition of tires. A so called Stall-Test will be performed. Excavator Inspection Special attention will be paid to structure and undercarriage condition. Click here for a sample report (PDF). Special reports are available for large mining excavators. Articulated Hauler Critical points on articulated dump trucks are the articulation, the axle hinges and the transmission condition. A so called Stall test will be performed. Caterpillar Equipment Additionally to above mentioned details we can provide in many areas the so called PSR for CAT equipment. We have access to the internal machine memory (ECM) and can store a report of machine history. Volvo Equipment In Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands we can provide a Volvo-Matris. This is a report about machine component history. Cranes Crane reports are more detailed. In addition the crane inspector does a check-up for Crane Safety related documents. LNB will be tested and swing bearing play measured. Please note: Due safety requirements for cranes we will need an operator from supplier to move the crane for our inspector.
