Service agreements protect investments

The backbone of any dry storage marina operation lies in the equipment used to deliver essential services, says the team at Forklift Exchange.

Maintaining critical machines like marina forklifts, boat hoists and hydraulic trailers is vital to ensuring smooth operations and protecting long-term investments. A well-structured preventative maintenance service agreement offers numerous benefits, including high-quality service, cost savings and improved resale value. The company gives the following pointers:
• Marina equipment requires specialist care to perform optimally. Factory trained technicians bring expertise and tools to maintain peak performance, using OEM-recommended fluids, filters and strict service intervals.
• Delaying maintenance or attempting DIY repairs may seem cost-effective but these shortcuts often lead to expensive issues. Preventative maintenance provides fixed costs that simplify financial planning and reduce the risk of costly breakdowns or emergency repairs.
• Marina equipment represents a significant investment. Proper maintenance not only protects functionality and aesthetics but also protects resale value. Equipment that receives routine service retains its appeal, ensuring a smoother transition when it’s time to upgrade or sell. This maximises return on investment and minimises financial strain.
The bottom line is that opting out of a service agreement is most likely going to be a false economy from many viewpoints, but this doesn’t mean that operators have to be tied into agreements that are one-size-fits-all. Companies like Forklift Exchange, which service all brands of machinery, customise all contracts to ensure equipment is maintained at peak performance levels.
