Better Equipment Boosts Your Bottom Line
Quality makes all the difference when it comes to equipment. Chip bodies are an important investments for your company. They help you get the job done right and reliably without unexpected stoppages or delays. Enhancing employee safety and a consistent pace of jobs are two benefits of quality chip bodies, which boosts your bottom line. Cheaper equipment costs less at the beginning, but the effects of this low quality will cost more in the long run. Don’t fall into the idea of taking shortcuts now. This equipment can eventually cause expensive problems. Look for the signs of quality equipment when shopping for your next chip body to ensure you’re purchasing equipment that will live up to expectations.
Signs of Quality Equipment
When evaluating forestry equipment for quality, look at the details. High-grade materials, clean welds, reinforced construction, and thoughtful designs are all signs of a well-made chip body. You should also look for features such as rust-preventative coatings, fully integrated tool storage and a secure latching system that can hold up well under real jobsite conditions. Forestry jobs are demanding on equipment, so it’s important to make sure the truck will be able to withstand the rigors of the job. Some manufacturers create trucks that appear to be high quality. In reality, they don’t perform well on the job when it matters most. When equipment is engineered with the user in mind, there’s a noticeable difference each day you’re on the job.
How Quality Equipment Lasts Longer
Quality equipment lasts longer than cheaper options because it’s designed to handle the realities of work instead of just looking good on paper. At Arbortech, we build our chip bodies with durable materials, such as galvanneal steel. We also use rust prevention methods, including seam sealing and powder coating, to protect the steel from the elements. Stronger welds, reinforced stress points, and precision assembly can reduce wear and tear over time. These may seem like small details, but they add up to be noticeable quality indicators. Our attention to detail goes a long way in ensuring you are receiving a high-quality chip body that will stand up to even the toughest jobs. When equipment is built right from the start, it does more than just survive the job – it outlasts it. This is more than just an opinion. We have factual evidence to back it up. There is documented proof of an Arbortech body that outlasted its original chassis. The owner chose to place the old body on a new chassis instead of purchasing a completely new truck, which speaks volumes to the quality of chip bodies from Arbortech.
Better Equipment Can Avoid Common Repairs
There are several common repairs that can be avoided or delayed with quality equipment compared to cheaper products. With Arbortech’s reinforced construction and rust-prevention measures, you’re less likely to experience issues related to cracked welds, rusted toolboxes, broken latches, or misaligned doors, just to name a few. Since we use trusted components, such as Rugby dump hoists, which are known for their reliability and performance, you can count on a smooth and consistent dump operation without the frequent hydraulic issues or lift failures that often plague lower-quality systems. These are hallmarks of quality equipment that make the choice worth it over the lifespan of the chip body. When every part is built to last, you can depend on your truck to stay on the job and stay out of the shop for frequent repairs.
Keep Workers Safer with Quality Equipment
All chip bodies from Arbortech are designed with safety in mind. Quality forestry bodies provide secure and easily accessible storage for tools, such as wheel chocks and traffic cones. These are important details to consider as they help reduce trip hazards and improve worksite setup. Bright, weatherproof LED lighting provides increased visibility during both early morning and late day jobs. Our chip bodies have reinforced platforms and steps to minimize slips and structural failures. The forestry industry is a profession where safety always needs to be top of mind. We do our best to provide the safest equipment possible to keep workers protected. When your truck body is engineered with safety in mind, it creates a more stable and predictable environment for the crew.
Enhance Productivity on the Job
Better equipment does more than only prevent repairs and enhance safety. This equipment can also bolster productivity by keeping jobs moving quickly. When on a job, time is money, and you want to maximize the most out of each moment. As time adds up on every job, using the right equipment can help your crew work faster without cutting corners. A combination of quick work while retaining quality is beneficial for your bottom line. With an Arbortech chip body, everything has its own place for quick access and convenience. For example, tools are stored securely and accessibly, which reduces setup time. The process of dumping loads is smooth and efficient. Repairs and downtime are rare for our chip bodies. When your crew can trust their equipment to do what it’s supposed to do, the entire job flows smoothly from start to finish.
Increase Profits and Elevate Work Quality
Quality equipment has higher costs up front, but it’s an investment that will pay off over time. When you have fewer repairs and replacements, you’ll cut your maintenance costs over the life of the truck. Increased uptime will allow your crew to complete more jobs in less time without sacrificing the quality of their work. Quality equipment is also your best advertising tool. Markets can be competitive, and showing up to a job with a well-built, clean truck gives your business the confident and professional look that catches eyes and will attract more business. First impressions matter, so make yours count by investing in quality equipment. The right equipment keeps your team moving, your jobs on track, and your profits growing.
