1000 hour service kits is a term that we have introduced into the market place and is now used Worldwide. In the current economy finding ways to save on non profitable overheads, like asset maintenance is crucial. For example a haulage company loses profit margin by having to service their truck engines every 100,000 km. Our 1000 hour kit would at least double this interval to 200,000km. This may not seem like much of a saving, but fitting these kits can also improve fuel economy by up to 8%.

The key areas to consider are:

Air filtration - Fuel Filtration - Oil Filtration & Oil level management

The ideal installation would be one where all areas are managed, however most of our customers cannot release the budget to install all components.

Here is a real life cost saving example that we did for Speedy Power:

Volvo 330kVA generator

Operating 24/7

Travel time to site and back 6 hours

Mileage 330

1 hour onsite

Service interval of 400 hours

Normal operating cost would be £30,000 per year. After fitting our kit this cost would reduce to £6,000 per year a saving of £24,000.
