Investing in Safe, Equipped Trucks for Generator Service Technicians
At Duthie Power Services, we understand that our technicians need reliable, capable, and safe vehicles to effectively serve our customers. That’s why we invest in dedicated trucks specifically designed and equipped for the unique needs of generator service technicians. These trucks are more than just transportation; they’re essential mobile workspaces that keep our technicians ready for any service, repair, or emergency response. Here’s what sets our fleet apart and why investing in such equipment is so vital.
Specialized, Safe Trucks for Every Situation
Each of our technicians is assigned a well-maintained, company-owned truck, which we update every 3 to 4 years to ensure safety and reliability. We use newer model Chevy trucks, all with four-wheel drive, which allows our technicians to reach hard-to-access sites like remote cell towers, construction sites, and other off-road locations. For areas with tight spaces, such as parking structures, we’ve designed our truck fleet to be lower to the ground, ensuring we can access nearly any job site without restrictions.
A focus on safety also extends to the daily operations of these trucks. With up-to-date safety features and rigorous maintenance schedules, our technicians can work confidently, knowing their vehicles meet stringent safety standards. This attention to safety reduces downtime, minimizes risk, and improves the overall efficiency of our service calls.
Equipped for On-Site Fuel Delivery and Hazardous Materials
Fuel availability is critical during emergencies, especially in the generator service industry. That’s why each truck carries a 100-gallon fuel tank, providing our technicians with diesel fuel on hand to refuel equipment in urgent situations. Additionally, we have specialized trucks for propane delivery, equipped with Hazmat placards, allowing us to safely transport and deliver fuel to customers who need it in remote areas or emergency scenarios. For even larger fuel needs, we maintain trucks with higher-capacity fuel tanks and greater towing ability, enabling us to service larger generator rental units or fuel-intensive equipment.
Tools and Parts On Hand for Immediate Repairs
Each service truck is stocked with essential tools and diagnostic devices, from hand tools and power tools to advanced electrical measuring devices. These tools allow our technicians to quickly assess and address a range of generator issues, whether related to fire pumps, automatic transfer switches (ATS), or the generator itself. Having these tools readily available ensures that our technicians can perform repairs efficiently, reducing downtime for customers and providing peace of mind.
While we can’t carry every generator part on board, we prioritize stocking high-demand items, such as relays, fuses, hoses, and clamps, to handle common repairs without delay. Additionally, our fully staffed parts department is ready 24/7, so if a unique part is needed, we can quickly have it delivered to the site, supporting faster, more effective service for our customers.
Prepared for Any Emergency
Our fleet and team are ready to handle any emergency, with 24 technicians available at a moment’s notice. Most service calls are managed by one to two technicians, but in large-scale emergencies, we can deploy more staff as needed. If a customer’s equipment is down and cannot be repaired immediately, we can quickly arrange for rental generators to keep operations running smoothly until repairs are completed.
Investing in a safe, well-equipped fleet means we’re always ready to meet our customers’ needs and support them in maintaining uninterrupted power, no matter the conditions. Through this approach, Duthie Power Services ensures that our customers have a trusted partner ready to respond whenever they need us.
