✅ Laser leveling (team alignment errors near zero)
✅ Hot-swappable batteries (zero downtime)

Client Win: Australian hotel project delivered 2 weeks early

IV. Procurement & Maintenance Masterclass

Buying Strategy

1. Lifecycle Cost Formula:

Total Cost = Purchase Price + (Energy Cost/Hour × Usage) + Maintenance - Resale Value

Example: A 1,200electricrammersaved301,200electricrammersaved30800 manual alternative

2. Supplier Checklist:

Local service centers | Spare parts transparency | Rental options | Training programs

Maintenance Tips

Lithium Battery Care:

Avoid full discharge (maintain 20%-80% charge)

Pre-warm to 5°C+ in winter

Motor Protection:

Clean vents monthly

Use IR thermometer (shut down if >65°C)
