Morris secures new contract to help keep Bombardier ‘on track’

MORRIS SECURES NEW CONTRACT TO HELP KEEP BOMBARDIER ‘ON TRACK’

The Maintenance Services Division of leading lifting services provider, Morris Material Handling, has kick-started 2007 in style having secured a further three year extension to the preventative maintenance and inspection contract that the company enjoys with world leading rail transportation provider, Bombardier.
Under the terms of the new three-year contract, Morris Material Handling will continue to provide round-the-clock service and maintenance provision of Bombardier’s crane, hoist and lifting equipment at its rail manufacturing facility and refurbishment centre in Derby. Morris Material Handling will also continue to ensure that Bombardier meets its commitments under LOLER98 regulations under the inspection agreement, across the 330,00 sq m site.

And whilst the contract extension has been issued based on the high levels of support service that Morris has made available to Bombardier over recent years, of equal importance has been the effectiveness of Morris Material Handling’s ‘AIMS’, Asset Inspection Management System. Currently being rolled out across all industry sectors, AIMS is a managed and database driven service developed in-house by Morris that serves to help customers radically reduce risk associated with potential load failures. Using the latest in palm-top technology, AIMS not only accurately identifies all lifting equipment across all site premises, it identifies and reports on potentially problematic or defective items, thereby providing complete peace of mind for the customer.
