Why do this?

Keeping your machines working in tip top condition will require a check on not only its performance, but condition.

By performing this function, the machine will perform for many years, or decades as it should.

Purpose

The checklists are defined to help in focusing in those components that may require attention. Noticing potential problems and scheduling parts replacement will avoid unexpected downtimes.

Stock

Gough does stock major components in its own facility for quick turnaround and delivery. Some parts do require some working hours and can be scheduled for delivery to suit your planned maintenance,
