Reduced Downtime
How much is downtime costing your business? The cost of a hydraulic hose can be insignificant compared to lost production, lost revenue, wages and other costs that are associated with idle equipment and idle employees. Each time a piece of equipment is stationary, costs start to increase. A simple hose failure can bring thousands of N$ worth of machinery to a standstill in an instant. Pirtek’s quick response service saves customers both time and money with reduced downtime expenditure.
