Tractor Repairs and Spares Hawkes Bay
Tractor Repairs and Spares (TRS), a leading provider of agricultural machinery services, made a business decision to begin operations in the Hawkes Bay region. TRS specialise in the sale, service, and repair of tractors, agricultural machinery, and equipment. They provide genuine parts, servicing, and support for brands like Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Iseki, and Gregoire. Seeking a comprehensive solution, TRS partnered with Advance Fluid Controls (AFC) to design and install a cutting-edge oil management system tailored to their specific needs.
Advance Fluid Control provided a tailored oil reticulation system designed to meet TRS’s specific requirements. Key components of the system included:
Self-Bunded Tanks: AFC supplied durable, double-walled tanks to store fresh oil securely and comply with environmental standards. These tanks minimized the risk of leaks and contamination, providing TRS with peace of mind and cost savings.
Retractable Oil Reel: Retractable oil reels were installed across the workshop, ensuring convenient and precise oil dispensing. The reels improved workshop ergonomics and reduced spillage during operations.
Compliant Waste Oil Storage: A compliant waste oil tank was introduced, capable of safely storing used oil until proper disposal. This ensured TRS adhered to hazardous substance regulations while simplifying their waste management processes.
Waste Oil Basin System: AFC included a waste oil basin designed for clean and efficient collection of used oil during servicing. The basin reduced the risk of spills and helped maintain a tidy workshop environment.
Air Reticulation System: The installation of a centralized air reticulation system streamlined operations by delivering compressed air efficiently across the facility. This system enhanced tool performance and reduced downtime caused by air supply issues.
Pulse Fluid Management System: The advanced Pulse Fluid Management System allowed TRS to track oil usage in real-time, reducing wastage and improving accountability. This digital solution provided visibility for tank levels, with automated reordering reports.
The installation of Advance Fluid Control’s oil reticulation system provided numerous benefits for Tractor Repairs and Spares:
Efficiency: The workshop became more organized, reducing time spent on oil dispensing and waste collection. The air reticulation system ensured tools operated optimally, increasing productivity.
Compliance: TRS now meets all regulatory requirements for oil storage and waste management, mitigating risks of fines or penalties.
Long Term Savings: By implementing a Pulse Pro Management System, savings of up to 20% on oil usage can be achieved by accurately recording all oil dispenses.
Data Driven: The Pulse Fluid Management System empowered TRS with actionable insights, allowing better decision-making around inventory and operations.
Advance Fluid Control demonstrated their expertise in delivering a tailored, innovative solution for TRS. By addressing operational inefficiencies and ensuring compliance, AFC helped TRS achieve higher productivity, cost savings, and a safer, more sustainable operation.
