Technology
Optimising the efficiency of our extensive fleet and enhancing our team’s workplace safety is made easy by the use of global positioning systems (GPS) in all our vehicles. Our fleet dispatchers maximise untilisation and minimse empty mileage to operate all vehicles as enviromentally friendly as possible. This technology also provides an audit trail for all material leaving or delivered to site. On past projects we have developed a very good working relationship with local bodies, through the effective control of vehicles, allowing us to negotiate favourable traffic management plans around what would otherwise have been very restrictive resource consent conditions.
Our electronic despatch system is fully integrated, enabling us to provide clients with up-to-the minute status reports and record work completed directly into our Greentree accounting system.
Smith & Davies Ltd brought commercial Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) to New Zealand in 1994 and this technology is widely employed today in our logging fleet, improving the environmental effect of our operations and reducing our customers infrastructure costs. This technology allows the tyre pressures on the vehicle to be adjusted to the optimum pressure for the current operating environment while the vehicle is on the move. Typically different pressures are selected for the following five main operational environments - Off highway empty, Off highway loaded, On highway empty, On highway loaded & emergency traction.
The late model Mercedes Benz vehicles that make up our heavy fleet are all tecnologically advanced vehicles with on board computer systems monitoring or controlling all functions.
