Service Contracts

Preventative Maintenance

Adhering to a routine maintenance schedule is vital for your project budgets, time, and safety and a service contract is the best way to ensure your equipment is maintained to perform at the highest levels possible.

Every owner or operator knows that catastrophic failure can set off a chain of events that damages other parts of the equipment. What could have been an inexpensive part replacement at an early stage would have prevented a complete system failure like a blown engine. Here’s a closer look at why our signing up for a service contract with Earthborne is important for your company:

Unscheduled Downtime

When equipment suddenly fails, there’s no choice but to park it on the job site. That leaves the machine unable to perform its tasks or support other machinery on the job. It also leaves an operator with nothing to do and a unit that doesn’t make money until it’s back to work. Preventative maintenance makes sure equipment is always ready to work except for scheduled servicing.

Added Expenses

Unexpected breakdowns aren’t planned expenses for your bottom line. And as we know, every profitable heavy equipment company works with budgets. Scheduled routine maintenance is written into your budget and is anticipated. Repair costs combined with equipment downtime can drastically impact your budget, but these issues may have been avoided with routine maintenance.

Safety

Reliable machines are safe machines, no one wants their valued operator at risk. Making sure all construction equipment is routinely repaired and maintained significantly adds to its safety. Sudden component failure can cause dangerous conditions to operators as well as presenting unsafe environmental hazards.

Longevity

Without question, properly maintained equipment outlasts poorly maintained machinery. Good maintenance extends service longevity. It also pays returns in resale and trade-in value. That way, your equipment works longer and makes more money during its time in your fleet.

With a service contract, it makes equipment safer, saves you money and maximizes longevity. Proper maintenance also reduces risk of accidents and downtime. A thorough routine and preventive maintenance program covers all of these points and ultimately saves you time, money and unnecessary stress.
