Does your Alabama or Florida Panhandle company rely on heavy equipment rentals for construction projects or other jobs? Effectively and efficiently managing your fleet is crucial for maximizing performance, reducing operating costs, and keeping the work on schedule.
Thompson Rents, the equipment rental division of Thompson Tractor, can help your company utilize advanced technologies from Caterpillar. Product Link™ is a powerful fleet management tool that wirelessly connects you to your equipment, providing valuable insight into its performance.
Cat® Product Link is a comprehensive remote monitoring and asset management system that collects and transmits valuable information regarding a machine's location, service hours, idle time, and fuel consumption in real-time. This essential data is available via online web applications, providing the advantage of remote accessibility. Use this data to make timely, informed decisions whether you're at the site, in the office, or on the go.
Product Link is easy to install and requires minimal hardware. Simply mount the device in your machine and integrate it with your web and mobile applications. Choose from multiple wireless technologies, including Bluetooth, wireless, and cellular.
The many benefits of integrating Cat Product Link technology with your rental equipment include:
Although our rentals receive regular service from well-trained, experienced technicians, this equipment operates in challenging conditions. By interacting with a machine's engine, transmission and other components, Product Link can surface early warning signs of a potential problem, allowing you to address it before it escalates. You'll experience fewer unexpected breakdowns that can put your projects behind schedule.
By providing a proactive approach to equipment maintenance, Product Link can ensure your rentals operate at peak efficiency. You'll get more work done in less time, allowing you to fit more projects into your company's work schedule.
Because your operators might not be familiar with some rentals, they might not know how to optimize the equipment efficiently. Use Product Link to detect operator trends or behaviors indicating potential areas for improvement. For example, if the data shows that a machine is consuming too much fuel due to excessive idling, additional training could promote more efficient practices.
Rentals often remain unguarded overnight at a remote site. A VisionLink® subscription enables you to establish various site boundaries and security alerts to inform you of unauthorized movements. You'll know immediately if someone is attempting to steal or vandalize your equipment and be able to react promptly.
The team at the Thompson Rents location near you can help you choose from a wide range of rentals equipped with Product Link. We'll show you how to implement this cutting-edge technology to improve performance at your sites. Our commitment to excellent service has enabled us to earn the trust of construction companies and other businesses throughout the region since 1957.
