  1. Purchase For The Features You Need.

    There is a tremendous variety of utility vehicles available, some with very similar functions. Even among vehicles with identical functions, features can vary between manufacturers. Keep in mind your business’ needs as you search and focus on vehicles that have features that will complement your work, making life easier for you and your team.

  2. Clean Vehicles Regularly.

    While they are sturdy by design, your utility vehicle is designed to work in specific, and often hazardous or unclean conditions. The operators may not be subject to much of it, but the vehicle’s undercarriage is, and accumulation of debris can quickly wear away its components and reduce its lifespan. Regularly clean the vehicle, giving particular attention to the underside.

  3. Keep Maintenance Records.

    Perhaps the single best thing you can do to ensure that your vehicles are well maintained is to keep records of their maintenance schedule, including cleaning, tune-ups and notes on any unscheduled repairs. With this information you can tell at a glance if the vehicle is operating as it should, or experiencing an undiagnosed problem.
