Properly maintaining construction equipment is one of the most important efforts a construction firm can undertake to maintain productivity and profitability. But it can also be one of the trickiest, given the sheer volume of assets owned or rented at one time and the fact that many firms still rely on manual recordkeeping to stay on top of service and repairs.

In today’s competitive construction industry, it’s imperative that every piece of equipment is proactively maintained, so it doesn’t fall out of service in the middle of a job. When that happens, the company doesn’t just have an asset problem— they have a labor problem.

For example, if 5-10 employees are working on or around a crane, and that crane breaks, all those people stop working to the detriment of the project timeline and costs, profit margins, and the bottom line.
