The Total Cost of Equipment Ownership: Preventative Maintenance and How to Extend the Life of Your Equipment

Your equipment is one of the most important parts of your operation, and for many organizations, one of the largest investments. Costs associated with those investments stretch far beyond the initial purchase order.  Being prepared can save your operation valuable resources, which create a significant impact over time.
