NEW
PRODUCT - SERVICELL 2
We are very pleased to introduce the newest
member of our Unicell line up .... Servicell 2. This tradesmen (electrical
contractor, HVAC specialist, home theater installer, irrigation/sprinkler
technician to name a few) targeted body package is based on our popular
"Cab Width" van body and is available on Ford or General Motors
cutaway chassis. The 139" wheelbase chassis and narrow body design make
this the perfect work vehicle for getting from job to job in tight urban
environments yet has ample storage/workspace and a 3,500 lb payload. It has the
water tight and extremely durable one piece fiberglass shell with translucent
ceiling that customers have come to trust and appreciate along with integrated
FRP cabinets on both sides with interior access and integrated work bench.
There is a long list of options such as rear ladder, heavy duty roof racks,
electrical lock system with key fob, 110V inverter system, back up camera and
shore power to name a few. This allows you to configure this "shop on
wheels" to your specific requirements.
As we are all aware, two issues that heavily
impact our costs, whether private or public sector, are worker productivity and
the costs associated with workers compensation claims. In speaking with many of
our customers about the issue they feel pulled between the two. If they assign
two individuals to a particular task because it is just a little more than a
single employee can safely handle on his or her own their operating costs go
up. If they don't an injury may occur which for the worker results in pain and
suffering in the short term and possibly a significant deterioration in his or
her quality of life in the long term. For the employer there is lost
productivity, re-shuffling of manpower to cover the affected employee, and the
significant impact on its WCB premiums which like all insurance premiums rise
quickly but drop very slowly. If they leave it to the employee to use his or
her judgment situations often occur where had the employee asked for assistance
to lift that manhole cover, tree stump, piece of equipment, detour sign, road
kill or whatever than no problem ..... but they rarely do and an avoidable
injury and expensive injury can result! Attached is a photo of a small
hydro-electric crane that was sold to a local fire department so that a single
employee can lift what is required without the need for a second pair of hands
(and back). These Italian manufactured compact cranes by "Maxilift"
are inexpensive (certainly compared to an average workers annual wages and
benefits or even a moderate WCB claim), available in a broad range of sizes
and configurations to suit almost every application (manual or hydraulic
slewing/extensions and capacities ranging from 7,400 ft-lbs up to 24,350
ft-lbs), are easy to install (simply bolt it down to something solid and
connect to battery) and have a broad range of accessories (stabilizer legs,
remote controls, safety systems, grapples and other end of arm lifting
attachments). If you are a municipality, private enterprise, on-truck
application or off, if your employees are required to regularly lift items that
are just a little too heavy for one person consider Maxilift .... It may just
save you the wages and benefits of an extra employee(s) and/or a costly WCB
claim.
IS A HOOKLOADER A GOOD OPTION FOR YOU?
