Benefits of Preventative Maintenance

All machines and mechanical devices benefit from regular programmed maintenance. People generally would agree that it is common sense to have their car serviced regularly and likewise Factory Managers set aside time and money to ensure their plant and equipment is operating efficiently and to reduce down time caused by machine failures.

During our many years of practical experience working in the roller shutter industry we have found that preventative maintenance on a regular basis has the following benefits:

• prolongs the operating life of roller shutters
• improves the operation of the roller shutters
• extends the periods of trouble free operation
• reduces the incidence of break downs
• reduces the incidence of component failures
• reduces the incidence of accidents
• reduces costs and the inconveniences relating to operational delays
• reduces the cost of “one off” repairs
• Improves the response time to breakdowns because we know the location of the shutters and the people on site

When you enter into a preventative maintenance agreement with Dover Roller Shutters we take an inventory of all your industrial/vehicular doors and perform a full inspection to record all relevant details regarding dimensions, slat type, operation etc. Therefore, in the event of damage occurring to one of your roller shutters the information is on file and prompt action in obtaining replacement materials can be taken.
