Mr Burns says United is fast to respond to every request, which makes all the difference in their business.
Observing that working on roofing installations involves accessing some tricky areas, he adds that United’s access equipment is essential to their everyday work while their reliable backup and service really put their minds at ease.
Operating their own fleet of access equipment, Premier Roofing finds the rental agreement with United for similar equipment convenient as it eases operations for the staff. He explains that having similar equipment means their staff can switch between machines in the permanent and rental fleets without any problem.
United supplied Premier Roofing with seven different kinds of access equipment, including boom lifts, scissor lifts and telehandlers, designed to be industry benchmarks of safety and efficiency. The majority of the equipment is under a rental agreement with United, to meet the changing needs of the fast-moving company.
Premier Roofing’s Account Manager at United, Amanda Moloney explains that having access equipment on a rental agreement means that a company can have the optimum equipment on hand for each job they do, no matter how diverse. Premier Roofing works on huge projects, often with differing heights, shapes, sizes and access requirements. The rental arrangement allows them to maintain a dynamic fleet that meets their unique needs every time.
Underlining United’s service back-up quality, Ms Moloney adds that they understand their customers cannot afford to have any downtime in the field when it comes to service, maintenance or delivery times; the company, therefore, goes the extra mile to provide a speedy response.
