Plant Maintenance
All plant and machinery servicing and repairs are maintained on our bespoke management software program.
Each item of plant is serviced with the manufacturer’s recommendations. All plant is checked before and after each hire. The system allows us to monitor machine breakdown history, log and report faults, and schedule regular service and LOLER inspection programs. When plant is operated by our own staff our operators carry out pre-use checks before commencing operations. All our engineers are qualified and have CSCS Cards for Plant Maintenance.
With fully equipped service vans operating out of custom built premises, our engineers are well equipped to ensure they are ready in the event of a breakdown. We operate a 24/7 call out facility.
