Planned Maintenance at RDO: The Easiest Way to Protect Uptime

Keeping machines running starts with a consistent service plan. That’s why RDO Equipment Co. offers Planned Maintenance (PM): a proactive service that helps you plan ahead and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.  

As part of RDO's Connected Support offerings, Planned Maintenance is powered by our centralized PM team. Working behind the scenes, this team tracks machine hours and service intervals in connected equipment, partnering with local stores to help schedule service before issues arise. 

Minimize Downtime with Planned Maintenance 

When a critical machine goes down, it can stall progress across your entire operation. Planned Maintenance helps reduce these disruptions by ensuring your local expert technicians can inspect and service your equipment before wear and tear turns into costly repairs.  

A proactive service plan supports: 

• Consistent uptime through scheduled service
• Lower long-term costs by reducing major repairs
• Warranty protection with on-time maintenance
• Better performance through regular inspection 

Your equipment needs timely service to stay reliable. Even if you're not currently on a maintenance plan, our team monitors machine data and notifies your local RDO team when service is due. 

What’s Included in Every PM Visit 

Whether you choose to prepay or pay as you go, each PM visit includes a full inspection by our trained technicians and essential services such as:  

• Oil and filter changes 
• Fluid and coolant checks 
• Belt, hose and electrical inspections 
• Component adjustments or replacements as needed  

Our technicians also check components that often get overlooked, like axle oil and breather filters. With their training and experience, every visit becomes a chance to catch potential issues early and keep your equipment running at its best.  

Connected Support That Simplifies Service 

Once you're enrolled, and as long as your machine maintains a telematics connection, our centralized PM team monitors hours and usage. When service is due, they notify your local RDO service department, helping you schedule and stay ahead of maintenance.

What this looks like for you:  

• Automatic service reminders
• Coordinated scheduling with your local RDO service team 
• Parts ordered ahead of time to reduce downtime 

This keeps maintenance simple and predictable and ensures your machines are ready for the job ahead.  

Plan Ahead with RDO 

Planned Maintenance is one of the simplest ways to extend equipment life. Whether you manage a full fleet or a single machine, our team can help you build a maintenance schedule that best fits your operation.
