RSSPlant machinery maintenance specialist 8057 United Plant Services (UPS) has forged a new strategic alliance with Groeneveld, which will see UPS handle repair and servicing for the UK’s leading lubrication solutions manufacturer.

Groeneveld’s automatic greasing systems are said to be commonly used across many leading brands of construction equipment, including 2983 Bell Equipment, 395 Caterpillar, 633 JCB and 473 Volvo.

If a system error goes unchecked, there is the risk of long-time damage to machine components such as bearings, making it important that an engineer is called out quickly to resolve the issue, says Groeneveld.

Given that plant equipment is located throughout the UK, often away from major urban centres, Groeneveld recognised the value of recruiting a specialist maintenance provider to support the company’s own engineers and avoid any gaps in coverage where response could not be achieved within an acceptable timeframe.

“United Plant Services combines specialist knowledge of the plant sector with a UK-wide geographical reach,” says Gary Hewitt, managing director of Groeneveld UK.

“As such, we believe they will significantly enhance our ability to react to customer requirements.

“By outsourcing much of our repair and maintenance demands to UPS, Groeneveld can allocate its in-house resource to the complex task of installing its automatic greasing systems, both for new machines but also retrofitted to existing models, in order to improve their performance and productivity.”
