Trucks and fleets are the backbone of many industries, ensuring the smooth transportation of goods and services. Just as the heart requires blood to function optimally, these heavy-duty vehicles rely on various oils and fluids to operate efficiently. At Northern Hydraulic & Fleet Service in Plaistow, NH, we recognize the critical role that regular oil and fluid checks play in the longevity and performance of your vehicles.
Transmission Fluid: Ensuring Smooth Gear Shifts
The transmission fluid is another crucial component in the maintenance of trucks. It lubricates the transmission's moving parts, facilitating smooth gear shifts and preventing wear. Over time, the fluid can degrade, leading to issues like hard shifting or transmission overheating. Regular checks and timely replacements ensure the transmission remains in peak condition.
Hydraulic Fluids: Powering the Heavy Lifters
Hydraulic systems are common in all sorts of heavy equipment, especially those used for construction or heavy lifting. The hydraulic fluid acts as a medium to transfer power from one point to another. At Northern Hydraulic & Fleet Service, we emphasize the importance of:
- Maintaining Fluid Levels: Ensuring the reservoir is filled to the recommended level.
- Checking for Contaminants: Dirt, water, or other contaminants can affect the fluid's performance.
- Regular Replacement: Hydraulic fluids can degrade over time, reducing their efficiency.
Coolant: Keeping the Engine Cool
The coolant, or antifreeze, is pivotal in regulating the engine's temperature. It circulates through the engine, absorbing heat and transferring it to the radiator for dissipation. A compromised coolant system can lead to engine overheating, causing severe damage. Regular checks for:
- Coolant Levels: Ensuring the reservoir is filled to the mark.
- Coolant Quality: Checking for contaminants or degradation.
- System Inspection: Checking hoses, clamps, and the radiator for any signs of wear or leaks.
Differential and Power Steering Fluids
The differential fluid lubricates the gears and bearings of the differential system, ensuring smooth power transfer to the wheels. Similarly, power steering fluid ensures easy and smooth steering operations. These fluids require regular checks to maintain quality and maintain optimal levels.

Had a good experience here. Had to bring my new Airflo dump body in for some adjustments. They had it in the next day and done in one day. It works great now, the way it should. Good communication too.
