Why a BE Equipment Preventative Maintenance Program Could Be Your Best Business Decision This Year
In our 40+ years of servicing recycling equipment, we’ve seen it all at BE Equipment: the emergency calls at 2 AM, the costly repairs that could have been prevented, and the frustrated operators dealing with unexpected downtime. We should highlight something that could transform your operation: our Preventative Maintenance Program (PMP).
The True Cost of Reactive Maintenance
Let me share a recent story. Last month, a client called with a failed baler motor. They’d been hearing unusual noises for weeks but kept pushing through. The final cost? $12,000 in emergency repairs and three days of downtime. With our PMA program, we would have caught those warning signs during routine inspections, potentially saving them thousands.
