When it comes to your business and the workers you rely on every day to get the job done, you want to make sure they are able to perform at their best for both the on-time completion of the job and the reputation of your company.
This is why you invest in personal protective equipment, training and technologies that help contribute to the success of each project.
In order to remain productive, business owners also know that they need to invest in, and sometimes upgrade, their equipment fleet. Since this equipment is the life blood of your company, making sure you have the tools you need to do each job, and ensuring that every piece of equipment is up and running efficiently every day, is key.
In this issue, we again feature the Tandem Roller Spec Guide. Starting on page 50, we list over 300 models of tandem asphalt compactors from various manufacturers so you can make sure you find the one your company really needs.
What happens though when you face a challenge on a project your equipment and team may not be ready to handle?
Delays in the field can be catastrophic to your bottom line. If a roller goes down, the entire paving train stops, impacting the mix that’s already laid and the integrity of the rest of the job.
Dealers Deliver
That’s where your dealer relationship comes in. Contractors do not have the time or capital to waste on equipment issues that could be handled by a dealer in the normal course of business. When time is money, having a relationship with a dealer could be the difference between a profitable job and a loser.
Here's what you can expect from most reputable dealers:
New and used equipment to meet your needs: If they don’t have it, they will get it.
Market trade-in values: They should be able to back up any trade-in number they quote.
Financing options: Many dealers offer outright purchase or lease financing that is competitive for new equipment, as well as financing options for used equipment.
Rental equipment: Rental is available when you need equipment for a short term or your purchased unit is in for service.
Product support: Dealers offer product support both locally and in the field. This includes parts, service and maintenance contracts.
Logistics support: With contractors “spreading out“ to get more work, there may be a need to move equipment or get support from a local dealer. Dealers can help you make arrangements with their local representative where you are working.
