What's Your Style?

Are you the type that keeps extra parts and accessories on hand "just in case"? Or  do you wait until a crisis occurs before you even think of a backup plan? Check out our  "Preventive Maintenance Styles" to determine your style.

• Prevention Maintenance: Very proactive; Regularly checks  equipment wear status;  Maintains inventory to rebuild or replace  spray pumps, spray hoses, hose reels or other equipment

• Condition Based Maintenance:  Monitors problem equipment, but waits for early signs of problems before taking action

• Time Based Maintenance: Keeps everything in tip-top shape from Ocotober to May; From late May to September... not so much

• Run-to-Failure Maintenance: Expects to order and receive parts within a day or two; Makes a thousand excuses to customers until equipment is fixed; Hopes and prays (instead of planning ahead) that everything will work out and customers won't leave
