Saving Money: The Real Value of Servicing Your Machinery

If business is good, it’s likely that you’ll be busy. Of course, being busy is great; and it’s likely that you’ll want it to continue. However, as any successful company owner will confirm, being over-worked can also have its drawbacks!

When things get hectic, a common response is to focus solely on delivering great results to the clients, and to lose track on the basics of the business. This is an entirely understandable reaction; after all, you want to keep customers pleased in order to enjoy repeat business. However, it can be a dangerous approach to take, particularly if you’re not keeping tabs on the state of your equipment and machinery.

Neglected Machinery and Equipment

Many times, we’ve received emergency calls from customers, in a state of panic because their cherry picker or rotavator has broken, and they need it urgently in order to complete an order or finish a job.

Of course, we’re always on hand to repair equipment, and we’re proud of our rapid turnaround time. Best of all, we also offer replacement equipment for hire, which really helps! However, in spite of our speedy repairs and hire service, it’s still likely to hold your company up to a certain degree, which can in turn make your client frustrated.

In short, it’s a better idea to try to avoid these types of emergency situations wherever possible. There’s one very simple way to do this; ensure that your machinery and equipment is regularly serviced by an expert.

The Power of Equipment Servicing

We are great believers in the phrase ‘prevention is better than cure’. Regardless of how busy you are, it makes good business sense to ensure that your machines and equipment are well looked after, checked regularly and running on optimum at all times.

Here’s a few advantages of booking your machinery in for a regular service:

• Downtime is minimal. In general, servicing is far less time-consuming than repairing, so it will involve far less down-time, and more importantly, far less time wasted. This is good news when it comes to keeping clients content.
• Arrange for a time that suits you. Repairs seldom happen at a convenient time; in fact, you can almost guarantee that your excavator or compressor will break down right when you need it most! By contrast, servicing can be done at a time that suits you.
• Cost-effective. It goes without saying that it is far more cost-effective to book an annual service than it is to fork out more money for emergency repairs and equipment hire to help you get the job done in the meantime.
• Help with forecasting. When your machinery is serviced, you’ll not only be told about any issues that need resolving immediately, you’ll also be alerted to any potential problems in the future, which can really help when it comes to factoring in purchasing new machinery.
