Plant & factory maintenance
We look after plant and machinery for factories and sites across the Manawatū: fixing what's broken, catching what's about to break, and building the guards and walkways that keep everyone safe around the gear.
Three ways to run maintenance
Most clients use a mix of all three. What matters is that the person answering the phone already knows your plant.
Something's broken and the line is stopped. We attend breakdowns and get you turning again, with the workshop and machine shop behind us for parts that can't be bought off a shelf.
We deal with wear and known issues on a schedule you set with us, before they turn into a 2am phone call. Planned work costs less than panicked work, every time.
We monitor key components, such as bearings, so repairs and replacements happen at scheduled times you choose, not at the worst possible moment mid-season.
Maintenance agreements
Put your plant on a maintenance agreement and out-of-hours breakdowns stop being your problem to solve alone: the agreement comes with an after-hours line, and when it rings, an engineer answers. It's the difference between a bad night and a bad week.
Not on an agreement? Ring the workshop on (06) 357 1103 during the day and we'll attend as fast as we can.
Ask us about a maintenance agreement →Safety fabrication
We fabricate and install the safety equipment that keeps your site compliant and your people out of harm's way. All our staff carry Site Safe Passports and keep their safety training current, so we work in your plant the way we'd want contractors working in ours.
When a processing line is down, every hour shows up on the bottom line. Here's the shape of how we look after the factories that rely on us, told through one example job.
[Client name]'s plant had a critical drive failing mid-season. Bearings were running hot, and a full line stop was days away, right when the plant could least afford one.
Attended after hours under their maintenance agreement, so the line kept running through the day shift. Machined replacement components in our own machine shop rather than waiting on freight, fitted them, and set up scheduled bearing checks so the next failure gets caught early.
[X] hours of unplanned downtime avoided, one drive running sweetly, and a predictive maintenance plan that's kept the line turning since. [Client quote goes here.]
A note for the Valentine team: this is an example case study. We'd swap in a real job in your words, with your numbers, and your client's sign-off (or keep them anonymous — "a Manawatū dairy processor" works fine too).
