Investment in Equipment Possible for Contracting Companies
Hydro Mobile has developed a new set of tools and programs to support its existing and potential customers.
"We know how hard construction trades have been hit by the recession," says Benoit Duplessis, president of Hydro Mobile. "Knowing that our products' success has been based on increasing productivity, safety and profitability, we are now proud to announce that Hydro Mobile holds the key to giving contractors stronger financial, operational and technical support. We offer new services and support that facilitate activities, decrease costs and, most importantly, make the way for more profit opportunities."
Duplessis says one of the key elements in the new program is Hydro Mobile's involvement on the used equipment market. "We can now offer a choice of used machines refurbished and supported by our own extended warranty at a very competitive price," he says. "Parallel to that, this new venture will allow us to buy used equipment and facilitate equipment trading, allowing fleet upgrades at a reduced cost."
Hydro Mobile's new offer also includes different financial and operational programs offered to its distribution network, and end-users can benefit from financing options, payment facilities and support programs to answer specific needs.
