Ensuring high standards at TruckEast

Euromec has secured a major new order after helping one of the UK's largest independently owned commercial vehicle workshop operators to ensure its premises remain clean and safe.

Based in the east of England, TruckEast is an established Scania dealer employing 380 people and supporting a wide customer base from a network of 13 locations, across seven counties. It provides service and specialist aftersales support for all makes of HGV, passenger vehicles, vans, and all types of agricultural and industrial vehicles.

The servicing and repair of commercial vehicles means the TruckEast workshops do not stay clean for long. Work areas, especially the bays where maintenance is completed, get dirty very quickly.

What the company needed was a fast, efficient, easy-to-use cleaning solution that enabled it to prepare work areas in a minimum amount of time so that work schedules were not disrupted. As a longstanding customer of Euromec, TruckEast was already using its scrubber dryers and had taken a Byte II machine on test to assess its ability to meet its stringent requirements. The Byte II is a professional scrubber-dryer designed to clean medium-to-large surface areas in a fast and efficient way. The 24v battery-powered machine is available in two versions, the single-disc brush 531, with a cleaning width of 530mm, and the larger 612, with twin-disc brushes and a cleaning width of 610mm. Each has a 45-litre solution tank and a 48-litre recovery tank. The machine performed well in trials, prompting TruckEast to invest in a fleet of 12 of the scrubber dryers. These machines have been pressed into service across the company’s network of sites.

Martyn Clipston, group aftersales director, TruckEast, said: “It’s a demanding business servicing and maintaining HGVs so we needed a cleaning solution that was up to the task. TruckEast has a strong reputation to uphold and so being able to present a clean working environment at all times is good, both for our customers and our staff. We have been delighted with the way the machines have performed; one use and the bays are clean and ready for use again, saving us time and money. We are also pleased with the positive nature of our relationship with Euromec. They were quick to recognise our needs and offered us an effective solution that is benefiting our business.”
