Fuel consumption and low overheads were also given as other key factors for the rental operations success.
Sunil Shahdadpuri also confirmed that ETS would maintain its strategy for ordering the smaller range of compressors for the foreseeable future.
“If a contactor wants a larger range machine we would ‘crosshire’ referring to a secondary company and, if it was for a long term contract, probably rebadge the compressor.”

BACKUP
Unlike a number of leading rental companies, ETS actively orders plant in bulk to meet immediate demand, rather than to order all of them individually.
“This is a basic principle of rental, to satisfy customers’ immediate needs and a principal I thoroughly endorse,” he said.
“Backup is absolutely essential with many contractors plant managers no longer interested in carrying out routine maintenance or employing related labor for maintenance procedures.”
ETS operates a dedicated workshop with its own service team ensuring all equipment is serviced and maintained before every rental and throughout the on-site rental period.
“Rental periods can vary from just day ‘lets’ to up to one year, with many between three to four months at a time.”
According to Shahdadpuri, ETS undertake the complete service for compressors, including engine overhauls. This is set to improve further with the projected move in March 2009 to a purpose-designed facility covering an area of 40,000 m2 at Hamiyah Freezone, Phase II in Sharjah.
Today, ETS is part of the diverse Bakhatir Group covering construction, real estate, shopping malls, infomation technology and various media interests.
Offering a wide range of construction machinery, it is the company’s aim to promote a single stop shop solution with Atlas Copco compressors as a very active partner.
