BUT \u2026 you might be concerned what to do if your hired plant breaks down in the middle of a project. \u00a0Below we discuss the ways to minimise breakdowns and what to do in the event of a breakdown.<\/p>\n
How to Minimise Breakdowns<\/strong><\/h2>\nAt AE Faulks, we strive to ensure that all our plant is in tip-top working condition through an effective planned maintenance and inspection programme and by our experts thoroughly checking each piece of machinery before it is delivered out to you to prevent breakdowns from happening.<\/p>\n
While on hire you too can help to reduce breakdowns by storing equipment safely and appropriately, as well as employing a trained and competent operator to handle the machinery correctly.<\/p>\n
However, we know that in reality, things can go wrong when equipment is out on hire with you.\u00a0 Unfortunately, machinery breakdown can\u2019t be planned or scheduled in.\u00a0 Should a break down occur, here is what you can do.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nWhat to do in the Event of a Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf any hired plant from AE Faulks breaks down or suffers a fault or defect you should notify us immediately<\/strong>.\u00a0 The sooner you contact us to let us know what has occurred, the sooner we can sort the issue and resolve the problem. You can call us directly on 01664 822797 (option 1). We are open Mondays to Fridays from 7am to 5.30pm and Saturdays from 8am until 12pm.<\/p>\nHowever, before calling make sure you have accurate details of the problem, such as:<\/p>\n
\n- when and how the breakdown occurred;<\/li>\n
- what was the plant doing at the time of failure;<\/li>\n
- is the problem intermittent or has it stopped working altogether;<\/li>\n
- are there any indicators on the dashboard\/control board such as warning lights and error codes;<\/li>\n
- where possible take photos of the problem to send to us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All this information will help us make a quicker and more accurate diagnosis of the root cause of the problem, leading to a speedier fix.<\/p>\n
We will not charge you for the hire of the plant machinery from the time and date we were notified that it is broken down (unless of course this is due to the customers negligence) which is why you must notify us as soon as the breakdown occurs.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nRepair or Exchange <\/strong><\/h2>\nUsually, breakdowns can be repaired on-site by our field service team.\u00a0 However, if after an on-site assessment repairs cannot be performed in sufficient time, we will send out replacement plant so you can continue with your project.\u00a0 We will always endeavour to substitute your equipment with plant of a similar type.<\/p>\n
Please note that if the hired plant is wheeled, you will be responsible for any punctures that occur by repairing or replacing any tyre damage while the plant is in your possession. \u00a0Aside from punctures, you must not attempt any repairs on the plant equipment unless you are authorised to do so by us.<\/p>\n
