Breakdowns in construction equipment occur due to a combination of mechanical, operational, environmental, and managerial factors. One of the primary causes is poor maintenance practices. When routine inspections, lubrication, timely replacement of worn parts, and scheduled servicing are neglected, components such as engines, hydraulic systems, brakes, and electrical circuits deteriorate rapidly, leading to sudden failures. Improper operation by untrained or careless operators is another major cause. Overloading equipment, operating at incorrect speeds, ignoring warning indicators, and using machines for tasks beyond their design capacity increase stress on components and accelerate wear and tear. Harsh site conditions such as dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, uneven terrain, and corrosive environments also contribute significantly to breakdowns by affecting filters, seals, bearings, and electronic systems. In addition, poor quality fuel, lubricants, and spare parts can damage internal components and reduce equipment reliability. Aging equipment, lack of modernization, and design or manufacturing defects further increase the likelihood of frequent breakdowns. Breakdowns have a direct and adverse effect on the production of construction equipment and overall project performance. When equipment fails unexpectedly, work comes to a halt, leading to loss of productive hours and delays in project schedules. This idle time
