Planned Maintenance (PM) service ensures your forklifts, aerial lifts and other essential material handling equipment always operate at peak performance. It can also minimize costly downtime and increase productivity.
Medley Equipment Company has the resources and expertise to help you effectively manage your fleet while lowering operation costs. We’ve designed our Fleet Management Program to analyze your specific needs and implement the right system to maximize your fleet’s potential at the lowest cost per hour.
A Proactive Approach to Fleet Management
A sudden machine breakdown or unexpected mechanical failure can inconvenience any business. Timely material handling equipment and forklift PM service allow you to detect, troubleshoot and correct minor issues before they become significant and potentially expensive problems. It also keeps your equipment in optimal condition, giving you a competitive edge.
Benefits of a Material Handling or Forklift PM Program
Participating in planned maintenance programs from Medley Equipment Company offers multiple short- and long-term business benefits.
Fleet Rightsizing
Planned maintenance enables you to strategically evaluate and adjust your fleet to ensure you have the optimal number and types of machines required for your current and future needs.
Administrative Cost Reduction
By helping to prevent breakdowns and other mechanical issues, PM service can allow you to avoid the associated administrative expenses, such as last-minute rescheduling and additional paperwork.
Reduces Maintenance Costs and Downtime
Regularly scheduled service will provide an excellent return on investment by lowering overall maintenance and repair costs and preventing unplanned expenditures. Your material handling equipment will spend more time on the job and less time in the shop.
Planned Maintenance Management
Setting up a planned maintenance program means you won’t have to worry about remembering to schedule service or whether your fleet is receiving timely attention.
Equipment Disposal
Our services enable us to monitor the condition of your equipment as it ages. We can detect the telltale signs of a machine’s decline and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective disposal time.
Resource Planning
PM enables you to allocate replacement parts and staff effectively and budget funds for upkeep and repairs on a predetermined schedule. You’ll be able to optimize resources more efficiently.
Production and Capacity Analysis
Because planned maintenance programs contribute to improved machine reliability and uptime, you can conduct more accurate equipment capacity calculations.
Asset Management Enhancement
You will gain more insight into your fleet’s condition, capabilities and availability, enabling you to manage your equipment assets more efficiently.
Continuous Cost Improvement
A more proactive and consistent fleet maintenance approach will result in substantial cost reductions over time.
Longer Service Life
Well-maintained equipment lasts longer than neglected machinery. You will get more out of your machines and extend the time frame between replacements. You will also get a higher trade-in/resale value when you’re ready to upgrade to a newer model.
