Have you heard the words “preventative maintenance” one too many times? There’s a reason for that!  

Preventative maintenance is when you entrust your machine to experts like us, who will care for it when it shows symptoms of a needed repair. Symptoms can include unusual noises or vibrations, fluid leaks, and increased downtime. If warning lights or error messages are continuously popping up, that’s a big indicator that you need to send your equipment to our shop, or your operation can come to a screeching halt. 

While we understand that bringing in your piece takes effort, there are considerable benefits to doing so early. Preventative maintenance is cost-effective, as it pales in comparison to unexpected breakdowns. According to the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), they found that preventative maintenance can curtail downtime by 30-50%. Taking care of your equipment comes with extending its lifespan, FEMP says, by 20-40%, which saves you from having to buy costly new machines. It also gives you peace of mind, knowing there are no safety hazards if something’s faulty. Environmentally, addressing minor issues before they snowball can help minimize the impact on Earth. This proactive approach prevents hazardous waste disposal and resource depletion.
