The team at Auslift faced a recurring problem. Every time units returned from hire, they were coated in mud, dirt, grease and even paint, plaster or concrete overspray. Preparing machines for the next customer was slow, labour-intensive and reduced fleet availability.
During a site assessment, a SPITWATER Solutions Specialist identified that Auslift’s cleaning process lacked the power and efficiency needed to keep pace with demand. Machines were being cleaned manually and with underpowered equipment, which increased turnaround time and operating costs.
Auslift reported immediate gains in both efficiency and cost savings:
Cleaning time was cut in half, which reduced labour requirements and freed staff for other tasks.
Faster turnaround increased fleet availability and billable hours
Cleaner, safer work environment for staff
Easier process encouraged operators to care more for equipment
With machines returned to customers faster and in better condition, customer satisfaction also increased.
SPITWATER’s approach focused on throughput, safety and reduced costs, key drivers for equipment hire businesses where downtime directly impacts revenue.
