the technology and supporting infrastructure are today. There has been significant progress with electric equipment, HVO, hydrogen, and other alternatives, but the industry still has a considerable way to go. We’ re helping move that transition forward, by introducing a fully electric rotating telehandler, investing in solar and eco welfare, lighting products, and battery storage units which combine with our generators to reduce fuel costs and noise, and the continued replacement of older equipment with newer, more environmentally friendly machines.”
With systems such as LiveLink providing customers with emissions and efficiency information, technology is increasingly important too, as it helps the company identify potential faults before resulting in downtime.“ Our sustainability strategy is about the complete fleet,” David continues, listing modern equipment, alternative technologies, better information, improved utilisation, and less unnecessary downtime as key elements of the initiative.“ Ultimately, sustainability and efficiency increasingly go hand in hand.” Digitising the hire journey from end to end is also part of Jarvie Plant’ s plan, combining mobile deliveries and job cards through Spartan’ s Phalanx, a suite of mobile apps and tools.
“ Our dynamic online hire catalogue is designed to transform how customers manage their account and hires, which is another exciting development, and we are incredibly pleased with this progression,” concludes David.“ Overall, we are most proud of being a family business dating back over six decades. I am honoured to be the third-generation leading Jarvie Plant – we are not just family-owned, we are family-run, and that responsibility and drive to succeed are personal. I truly believe that gives us an edge; one that publicly run businesses cannot easily replicate.” ■
