Save Time and Increase Uptime With Mobile Maintenance
Keeping equipment running is essential for fleets, and mobile maintenance services can increase efficiency by performing on-site services, repairs and inspections at a fleet's location. Bringing the shop to the equipment can save time and make scheduling preventive maintenance and needed repairs easier. A robust maintenance program increases safety and reduces the risk of breakdowns or unscheduled repairs, which keeps equipment moving and boosts driver satisfaction.
Benefits of utilizing a mobile maintenance program for scheduled preventive maintenance and repairs include:
Added Convenience: Taking equipment into a shop requires vehicles to be taken out of service and driven to a facility. A second driver and vehicle may have to pick up the original driver, or a driver may wait on-site for repairs. With mobile maintenance, Penske’s certified technicians come directly to the truck, whether it is at the fleet's terminal, distribution center or other work site. Simplifying the logistics for drivers and fleets reduces downtime and maximizes drivers’ hours. Work can also be done at times that work best for the fleet, such as when vehicles are parked for the night or not in use.
Enhanced Safety and Compliance: An effective maintenance program, including mobile maintenance, improves safety by ensuring safety-critical components, such as brakes, lights, and steering and suspension systems, work as intended. Staying on top of maintenance increases safety, ensures vehicles comply with regulatory requirements, and helps drivers avoid roadside violations that can harm fleets' safety scores. Plus, getting ahead of minor issues before they become larger problems can reduce the risk of an over-the-road failure. If a breakdown does occur, Penske provides customers with high-priority access to its 24/7 Roadside Assistance and rental fleet.
Customized Maintenance Plans: Fleets' maintenance needs can vary depending on their size, equipment and operations. Regardless of where Penske is providing fleet maintenance, we create adaptable, data-driven customized maintenance plans through our Dynamic PM® program. Dynamic PM uses data to help identify trends, predict failures, and proactively replace parts or components before they fail. Inspections are customized based on the vehicle's age, condition, specifications and maintenance trends.
Real-Time Reporting and Data Analytics: Fleets have access to maintenance history and insights into upcoming needs as part of the mobile maintenance offerings. Increased transparency and data analysis empower fleet managers to make informed decisions and proactively manage maintenance.
