Coates Maintenance System
At Coates we understand the importance of reliability to your business.
With over 1 million assets to manage, reliability is at the centre of what we do. That’s why we’ve invested significantly in ensuring that our maintenance programs are second to none. Developed by our expert service teams, the Coates Maintenance System sets the industry benchmark for equipment maintenance programs. Here's why:
Clear service history
Every Coates machine carries a printed service sticker detailing the machine's service program, when and where the machine was serviced and who it was serviced by.
Logbooks
We also produce a range of logbooks to enable operators to “safety check” the equipment before use, as well as record any faults that might have been found.
Important instructions
For small plant, we supply Operating and Safety Instruction sheets at Branch level to advise the customer how to operate the equipment safely.
SafetyHub is Coates “One Stop Shop” for contractor management compliance. SafetyHub allows our valued suppliers and contractor workers to self-register in the system, upload insurance, license, and safety compliance documentation and complete Coates Inductions.
