Mobile-Shop Brings Efficiency and Accountability to Maintenance
MAY 14, 2008. Whatever type of property you manage, it's a common scenario: Your maintenance department needs to fix something on the other side of your property, or on another floor. Separate toolboxes and other materials are lugged all the way to the site, only to discover that a necessary tool has been forgotten; or the repair requires an unanticipated replacement part; or any of a number of reasons that can result in multiple trips back and forth to the job site.
The patented Mobile-Shop System is a portable tool and parts organizer that allows maintenance workers to easily wheel everything they need - or might need - to the job site. Consisting of a specially engineered cart that moves on wheels and comes fully loaded with 230 professional quality tools and more than 180 critical small parts, the System allows every tool and part to be inventoried in less than 60 seconds. It eliminates work stoppages due to lack of on-site tools or parts and alleviates concerns about missing tools, ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity in the maintenance area.
"The Mobile-Shop is so much more organized than our previous tool carts and much more mobile," states David Paul, Assistant Director of Engineering for the Hershey Lodge. Hershey Lodge is among customers reporting average productivity gains in their maintenance operations 40%, since implementing the Mobile-Shop system. "The selection of tools is sufficient for almost any task," adds Paul, "cutting down the trips back to the shop for items they forgot or did not happen to have."
The Mobile-Shop Company also provides very hands-on training to its customers. "Our number one goal is to make our customers' maintenance departments operate more efficiently," states Edward "Jerry" Guirlinger, the company's founder and president. "Our trainers and customer service staff will work closely with you until we are all satisfied that goal has been achieved."
Winner of several "Best New Product" awards, including the 2006 American Business Awards and the 2006 Good Design Awards, the Mobile-Shop system is already in use by hundreds of organizations in the United States and Canada including: the Bellagio Resort & Casino, Trump Place, Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, Foxwoods Resort & Casino, Wright Patterson AFB, Billy Graham Ministries, Smithsonian Institution, Cambridge Suites, Rockefeller Center, Pennsylvania National Guard, Westin Virginia Beach Tower, Silverleaf Resorts, Inc., and various individually owned Marriott, Best Western, Sheraton and Hilton Hotels.
