Regal Cement maintains full control over their fleet’s maintenance and servicing on-site due to the versatility of the EWP. Enabling full access to all vehicles in their fleet, the EWP eliminates the need to take vehicles off-site; thereby reducing transport costs and more importantly, reducing fleet downtime.
The EWP further improves these facilities as it provides easy and comfortable access to the undercarriage of their diverse fleet thereby encouraging quality technicians on-site.
