Earthmoving equipment is heavy equipment, typically heavy-duty vehicles designed for construction operations that involve earthworks. BS 6913-13 is an International Standard that discusses the operation and maintenance of earth-moving machinery.
BS 6913-13 is the 13th part of the multi-series that specifies nipple-type lubrication fittings, for the types of earth-moving machinery defined in ISO 6165, and the space required to service these fittings.
BS 6913-13 on nipple-type lubrication fittings for earth-moving machinery is useful for:
Lubrication fittings are used where there is a high frequency of greasing and/or direct contact with soil or sand shall have their heads surface hardened.
BS 6913-13 provides guidance on material, design and manufacture dimensions, shape, dimensions and tolerances, and proof pressure of lubrication fittings. BS 6913-13 guides you with the required ambient space at the mounting position of lubrication fittings.
BS 6913-13 helps to mitigate risks to during the operations and maintenance of earthmoving equipment, ensuring that projects proceed smoothly and without delays due to machinery breakdowns.
