Why is the maintenance of your construction machinery a profitable investment?

Whether you operate a fleet of industrial vehicles, materials handling equipment, mini-loaders, excavators or backhoe loaders, regular maintenance of your construction machinery is more than just an obligation: it’s a real driver of performance and reliability.

Too often perceived as a constraint, it can actually extend the service life of construction machinery, avoid costly breakdowns and guarantee user safety – major issues, especially in import-export activities.

Whether in warehouses, construction sites, logistics platforms, golf courses or industrial sites, your equipment is subjected to a wide variety of operating conditions, and deserves careful attention. A structured maintenance program, combined with Periodic General Inspections (VGP) and appropriate maintenance contracts, is the best strategy for making the most of your construction and handling equipment and securing your business over the long term.

Preserve the value of your imported construction machinery and handling equipment.

When importing new or used equipment, it’s essential to be able to trace the history of maintenance carried out. Well-documented equipment, with an up-to-date service log and a clear history, offers several strategic advantages for your company.

Firstly, traceability enables us to keep precise track of every intervention, whether it’s preventive maintenance, a one-off repair or a Periodic General Inspection (VGP). This makes it easier to plan future operations, and ensures that all regulatory obligations are met, particularly for rolling stock or industrial equipment used in critical environments.

Secondly, having a complete service history is a real commercial asset. Customers and partners, especially international ones, have more confidence in equipment whose maintenance is transparent and documented. This enhances the value of your equipment, reinforces your credibility and can even speed up resale or rental.

Finally, traceability helps to anticipate breakdowns and reduce unforeseen costs, as every anomaly or intervention is recorded and analyzed. Rigorous tracking transforms maintenance into a lever for performance, safety and the long-term future of your equipment fleet. In short, a complete history not only protects your investments: it becomes a strategic tool for the management, compliance and reliability of your equipment.

Secure the transport of your construction machinery and handling equipment.

Before sending a forklift, shovel or cart abroad, a complete mechanical inspection is essential to limit the risk of disputes, downtime or rejection on delivery. Properly checked equipment anticipates problems, identifies worn or faulty parts, and avoids the need to reship components in a hurry.

The preventive maintenance of your construction machinery and handling equipment simplifies international logistics and reduces the costs associated with returns or remote interventions. For example, a forklift truck shipped with a clear maintenance history and a complete check-up inspires customer confidence and facilitates customs formalities, while guaranteeing optimal operation as soon as it arrives on site.

Beyond the technical aspects, this control reinforces your company’s reliability and professional image. International partners appreciate transparency and rigor in equipment management, and a well-maintained fleet means fewer breakdowns, fewer returns and greater customer satisfaction.

In short, a thorough pre-export check-up is more than just a precaution: it’s a strategic lever that protects your investments, optimizes your logistics and secures your international reputation.

Comply with VGP standards and legal requirements for your construction machinery and handling equipment.

Many imported items of equipment (aerial platforms, excavators, mini-loaders, etc.) are subject to Periodic General Inspections (VGP) mandatory in France and other European countries.

• These technical and safety inspections are required every 6 to 12 months depending on the equipment.
• They are used to validate the conformity of construction machinery and handling equipment before or after resale.
• They are proof of seriousness to your customers, particularly in logistics, industry and local authorities.

  Material handling equipment or construction machinery with an up-to-date VGP inspires confidence: it’s ready for use.

Optimize the maintenance of your construction machinery and handling equipment with a maintenance contract.

Regular maintenance of your construction and handling equipment is essential to ensure its performance and longevity.

A maintenance contract gives you peace of mind. You benefit from personalized follow-up tailored to your specific needs. Professionals take care of all necessary checks, adjustments and repairs.

A maintenance contract optimizes the availability of your handling equipment. It reduces the interruptions that impact your productivity. You avoid costly breakdowns and unexpected repairs. This keeps costs under control over the long term. Your machines remain operational at all times, thanks to preventive maintenance.

With dedicated experts, you get advice to maximize the efficiency of your material handling equipment. Benefit from a tailor-made service that complies with safety standards. Improve your performance and extend the life of your equipment.

In short, the best practices to adopt for your handling equipment and rolling stock.

To guarantee the safety, reliability and value of your handling equipment and rolling stock, it is essential to adopt rigorous and systematic maintenance practices. Incorporating a control sheet prior to resale or export enables you to check every component and prevent the risk of breakdowns or disputes.

Documenting every maintenance or repair job is just as crucial. A clear and complete history makes it easier to plan future interventions, ensures regulatory compliance and enhances the value of your equipment in the eyes of your customers and partners, especially internationally.

Keeping Periodic General Verifications (VGP) up to date for all equipment concerned guarantees user safety and legal compliance. It’s a guarantee of seriousness and professionalism that reinforces the confidence of buyers and partners.

You can also offer formulas with maintenance contracts to end customers, whether private individuals or professionals. These offers help secure equipment use, anticipate costs and build customer loyalty.

Finally, working with reliable technical partners, whether in France or abroad, ensures quality interventions, rigorous follow-up and maintenance in line with the most demanding standards. Together, these practices make maintenance a real lever for performance, safety and profitability for your construction equipment fleet.
