Agricultural Hire of a Comac CS80B Ride on Floor Sweeper in Lincolnshire
We were contacted by a large farming company near the market town of Brigg, Lincolnshire who have been growing, storing and packing potatoes for nearly seventy years. I’m pleased to say we were recommended to them by another customer who also operates in the agricultural sector.
The customer initially contacted the main office they had explained they were looking to hire a Ride on Sweeper for short term hire and the machine needed to be capable of cleaning a 30 metre by 50 metre area and could pick up fine dust. Our sales staff then asked some relevant questions to ensure they had the correct information what environment they work in, how long they require the hire, where are they based and how soon would they like the machine.
Companies in the agricultural sector work the seasons and so it makes financial sense to hire a machine for a couple of months rather than have it sit unused in a barn for most of the year.
Once agreed the sales team then agreed with the customer a specific time and day required for the delivery, demonstration and training for the sweeper. The day of the delivery, our engineer fully trained the staff on how to use the sweeper, how to operate the hopper and how to empty the machine. We also trained how to charge the machine correctly, due to this not happening the machine therefore would not be fully charged and they would not be getting the correct hourly usage. We endeavour to show staff how to maintain the machine whilst using the machine and the aftercare.
All the machines that A3 Machine Ltd, hire out to customers have a complete maintenance package that comes with the machine, this includes all callout and labour costs, except for user error which then would be chargeable also he consumables are an extra cost i.e. brushes, pads or suctions rubbers.
Once the hire period is over, A3 Machines Ltd collect the machine as part of the arrangement. The Comac CS80B was on hire for over two months and worked to its full potential. The customer was very happy with the machine and service and we look forward to providing them with further equipment as and when they need it in the future.
