Dedicated Contract Maintenance
Some operations would rather not think about maintenance one repair order at a time. A dedicated contract arrangement puts a defined scope of maintenance work for your fleet in JH’s hands under terms the two of you agree in advance, so the routine work has a home and you know who is looking after it.
What a contract arrangement covers
The scope is written to match the fleet rather than pulled from a template. What equipment is included, what work falls inside the arrangement, how it is scheduled around your operation, and what is handled separately are all part of the conversation before anything is agreed.
That conversation is the real work of setting this up. A fleet of mixed vintage running long routes has different needs from a yard operation with short cycles, and an arrangement that ignores the difference does neither of you any good.
- Which units and equipment types are in scope.
- What maintenance work the arrangement covers, and what is quoted separately.
- How work is scheduled against your operating pattern.
- How findings, approvals, and records are communicated.
How the discussion usually goes
Start by telling us about the fleet: how many units, what they are, how hard they work, and what has been frustrating about maintenance so far. That last point is often the most useful, because it says what the arrangement actually has to fix.
From there our staff can talk about what JH would take on and how it would be structured. Terms, pricing, and scope are confirmed in that discussion, not on this page.
Who it suits
Contract maintenance tends to make sense when the volume of routine work is steady enough to plan around and when having one shop accountable for it is worth more than shopping each job. If you are not sure that describes your operation, say so — scheduled maintenance without a contract may fit better, and our staff will tell you if that is the honest answer.
Common questions
How is this different from scheduled maintenance?
Scheduled maintenance is planned work arranged job by job. A dedicated contract arrangement sets an ongoing scope for your fleet under agreed terms, so the routine work is covered without being rebooked each time.
Is there a minimum fleet size?
That is part of the discussion with our staff rather than a published rule. Tell us about your operation and they will say whether a contract arrangement is the sensible shape for it.
Can the scope change later?
Fleets change. Any change to what the arrangement covers is agreed between you and JH the same way the original scope was.
How do I start the conversation?
Call or email JH with a short description of your fleet and what you want covered. Our staff will take it from there.
