Welfaux Guide: Different Types of Maintenance Contracts
Forklifts are an essential piece of equipment for many businesses, and keeping them well-maintained is crucial for their safe and efficient operation. One way to ensure that your forklifts stay in good working order is through a maintenance contract with a forklift service provider.
For extra security and insurance, here are some of the different types of forklift maintenance contracts that are available:
Full Maintenance Contract
This type of contract covers all aspects of forklift maintenance, including routine servicing, repairs, and replacement of parts.
Under a full maintenance contract, the service provider is responsible for keeping forklifts in good condition, and the customer pays a fixed monthly fee.
Preventive Maintenance Contract
A preventive maintenance contract focuses on preventing problems before they occur. The service provider will schedule routine maintenance visits to inspect the forklifts and identify any potential issues. This type of contract can be a good option for businesses that have a smaller fleet of forklifts or for those that don't have the resources to maintain their equipment in-house.
Welfaux provides on-site and workshop-based forklift truck service and maintenance. Correctly maintained, your equipment will operate more reliably and prevent unplanned downtime and unnecessary costly repairs.
Time and Materials Contract
With a time and materials contract, the customer only pays for the work that is actually performed on the forklift. This type of contract is suitable for businesses that have a larger fleet of forklifts and can perform some maintenance work in-house. The service provider will charge an hourly rate for labour and a separate fee for any replacement parts that are needed.
Parts-Only Contract
A parts-only contract covers the cost of replacement parts but not the cost of labour. This type of contract can be useful for businesses that have the resources to perform their own maintenance work, but want to ensure that they have access to high-quality replacement parts.
All in all, there are several types of forklift maintenance contracts available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. When choosing a maintenance contract, consider factors such as the size of your forklift fleet, your budget, and your level of expertise in forklift maintenance.
