Why dispatchers need to work with hire services?
-It is almost impossible for readymix companies to have all size and all kind of concrete pumps for every projects in their machine park.
Under normal circumstances, readymix companies create their machine parks within a plan and according to the needs of the region and their target market. But sometimes they may need a short term or stand-by pump or pumps for daily works and special projects.
-Have you ever calculated the cost of a large boom pump for a short-term project? You may be in need of this pump only at the end of the project, let say just one month. It is obvious that such an investment would not be economical. What will you do with this pump after the project is completed? How long will it take to depreciate it? In the cost calculation you should also take into account the cost of the expert operator of this special machine.
-The use of some pumps and equipment may require expertise. For example, big boom pumps, high rise stationary pumps, moli, hydraulic distributors and long horizontal and vertical delivery line, etc. And keeping these equipment in the park is not economical where there are hiring option and companies.
-Think about hydraulic distributor booms. This equipment normally are not expected to keep in the park of a readymix company. Is it worth to create and keep an expert team for such project. Unless it’s your particular area. Because there are companies that rent complete system equipment together with expert, trained and experience team in this special field.
-Forget all above, just think about the cost of additional standby concrete pump? You may need in the case of one of your concrete pumps have an unexpected malfunction during pumping. Or the constructor requests a stand-by pump in order not to take any risk for pumping and the concrete team for the sake of planned operation. Because in construction works, every process runs connected to each other and if one link of the chain breaks, the project will suffer great damage.
-These are some subjects why readymix companies need to work with pump hiring companies. Dispatchers should always be in close contact with these companies and know about their expertise, machine park and prices for the equipment, team and other possibilities. Because they are the first responsible to solve such problems in order to work effectively and efficiently!
