Bucket truck transport services use predictive maintenance, where based on data analysis determined by the overall health history of the fleet, typical issues can be predicted and addressed before they affect operations. This method is used to combat the onset of wear and tear on the bucket trucks, minimizing breakdown and ensuring oversize loads make it to their destinations without a hitch. Here are some of the benefits of predictive maintenance.
Saves Money
First and foremost, predictive maintenance can save a bucket truck escort company between 10 and 20 percent (if not more) in maintenance fees per year. If a bucket truck company has a large fleet the annual savings add up fast. This also ensures less downtime. Bucket truck escort services get paid to travel and when a truck is out for maintenance billable time is lost.
Catches Issues Early
Analyzing the fleet and making proactive decisions before a small issue becomes a big problem is key to keeping the fleet up and running. Addressing small issues that take less time to repair adds up to less downtime and resolves issues before they have the chance to become worse. This minimizes the chance that a bucket truck will end up at the side of the road for repairs during an active transport job.
Ensures Optimum Fleet Performance
When the trucks are well-maintained (inside and out), have routine preventative maintenance completed on schedule and are audited with a checklist before they hit the road for a transport project, all bucket trucks are kept in tip-top shape. Optimum fleet performance provides peace of mind in knowing you’re working with a reliable crew that will care for your cargo like they do their own trucks.
For the transport of your oversize cargo, you shouldn’t trust just any bucket truck escort company. Choosing a bucket truck escort that is experienced, trained and keeps their fleet well-maintained will ensure that your high load is safe and will make it to its final destination on schedule.
