Being responsible for maintaining the grounds of a facility or campus encompasses an endless number of daily tasks and duties across the property. Would adding an ATV or utility vehicle make a worthwhile improvement in operations and ultimately, the bottom line? Managers need a few good answers to make that determination and decide which machine will work best. Consider these questions in making a decision:
Once a manager has confirmed that adding this piece of equipment can, in fact, improve efficiencies and make equipment operators more productive, the next step is to use the information gleaned to this point to select type of vehicle that will achieve the department’s goals. Managers need to decide on the vehicle’s size, power and load capacity, as well as types of tires and other options needed to maximize performance and longevity.
If the main priority is to cover a great deal of ground quickly, a basic ATV could be a good fit. If operators need the mobility along with more space, power, hauling capacity, versatility, a utility vehicle might be the most appropriate option.
